New Post for Wifey

[The Wifey]

Very mixed weekend, but over all good. Part II of H's birthday was on Saturday. I didn't tell him what we were doing, only that it was an activity. I surprised him with white water rafting in the state park near our house. He'd said on the last trip through the park that he'd always wanted to do it.

We had a really good time and I was glad it was a secret until we got very close. Neither of us fell in the river, but we did get absolutely soaked.

After we went home and changed we went out to dinner. Talked more about our son. This latest episode has really messed him up, my H said. On the way back to the house he was very down and I looked over and saw him crying. I reached over and held his hand as I drove.

I told him I understood and hugged him when we got out of the car. Really, this is a reality he has to face. A 20 year old kid is acting out because he is hurt. And H caused that hurt.

We watched a movie and didn't really talk much more until bed. H slept in the guest room again. Sigh. He did say he enjoyed the rafting.

Sunday we moved the old living room furniture into the garage and brought in the leather sofa and lounge chair I bought at a yard sale. H mowed the steep parts of the yard while I cleaned the living room and set up the room. I am very pleased with how it came out. Contemporary, yet still very country.

We both worked on setting up the garage for the yard sale I am going to have. He moved his truck into the third bay so I would have two bays free. At least, I will once i get rid of the old furniture.
