I am around and drop in here occasionally. Things have not really changed in my situation. DH is still seeing his friend and still coming over here every day after work, unless he has duty or is "out of town."
He did invite me to join him and the kids to go bowling tonight. We had an absolute blast! It was so cute to see my little guy actually throwing the ball down the alley by putting his fingers in the hole, not just throwing it two handed between his legs.
DH is engaging in little acts of service every now and again. Last Saturday D9 asked if they could wash his car. I joked that no one ever offers to wash my car. The next thing I know, DH is washing my car and trying to get the rims nice and shiny. Three days later he was still commenting on how if he had a power washer he could have made them look like new.
He helps me out in the kitchen with dinner--cooking, dishes, sweeping up afterward.
My computer picked up a virus that was blocking my access to everything. DH spent two days fixing it for me so I would not miss anymore school than I already had.
DH's birthday was the beginning if the week. Wit hthe holiday weekend, I did not know if SHEWHOWILLNOTBENAMED was coming to town, so I decided to test the waters on it. I suggested a cookout for tomorrow to celebrate his birthday and the girls' last weekend of before school starts. He was all for it, but balked at inviting a few friends from the ship that I suggested. There will be about 15 people here tomorrow, counting my brood of six. DH said he will be over early to mow the lawn and help with anything that needs to be done before everyone shows up.
SO, in the words of Mike, it is what it is. o go out with my friends when I want, go to church twice a week, am still working on school, and taking care of the kids.
Oh, and in the midst of all that is going on, D17 has bee potentially diagnosed as being bipolar and S3 sliced his finger to the bone on a bread knife--even managing to completely break the cut back open within two days of having it secured by dermabond at the ER. The night that happened, I called DH to let him know. He offered to meet me at the hospital, but I told him I had it under control, could he just stay available if I needed him to run to the house. HE said absolutely and to keep him in the loop on what the doctors were doing.
It will be interesting to see what happens next week when I go to fill out the paperwork for the school--you know, the 90 million forms they sdend home as homework for mom on the first day.
Still hanging in here, still praying, and still waiting on God's perfect timing.
