A Little Epiphany - (and a newbie delurking)

[Dia]

So last night we decided to watch Legend. H got it off Netflix not realizing it's the version w/o the Tangerine Dream soundtrack. Hmmm, very different movie. Think I like it better the other way.

Anyhow, H set himself up on the couch intending to have me snuggled against him and kidlet snuggled against me. That worked for all of 10 mins until each of us had to get up for something. When we got back, kidlet changed the configuration - he wanted to be in the middle. H seemed a bit disappointed but didn't fight it so we spent the rest of the movie that way. Kidlet was unsettled by the movie and wanted to sleep in the big bed, and again, H seemed a bit put out but didn't fight it. Then he went to his computer (pooh!), and I fell asleep on the couch(sans bedding) looking at a catalog.

I have no idea how late it was when H finally went to bed but he woke me up saying that I needed some blankets. Barely awake, I slipped an arm around his waist, leaned my cheek against his hip and promptly fell back asleep. So he dragged me into the big bed where kidlet was already sleeping. He offered me the choice of sleeping in the middle next to him or on the edge with kidlet between us. I was too asleep to comprehend, so he dragged me into the middle.

We slept all cuddled up again, though with much less roving of the hands as kidlet was asleep in the same bed. Glad it's a king!! I even got a Sleeping Beauty style kiss half-way on the lips. More than one, I think, as we were waking up.

Today, I'm switching kidlet into the guest room and everything is at the worst point of the uproar. There are disassembled pieces of furniture in just about every room in the house. This kind of disarray will drive H batchit crazy in a hurry, so my goal is to get most of it put to rights - or at least out of the way, today.

Some of these pieces of furniture H is talking about giving away, such as the futon and dining table. He knows I want these if I have to move out, so I'm wondering if this is a tacit admission that I'm *not*. And if I'm not moving out, yes, we can let them go.

H is out procuring a vacuum cleaner from some friends. Ours died during one of my other cleaning fits and due to the strange configuration, kidlet's old room has not been vacuumed for a good 5 years. Ewwwwww! And I am NOT putting anything back in there until the Halloween-style dust films and cobwebs are 100% gone. I even washed the walls. H has never heard of anyone washing walls before but my mother did that once a year or so, esp. in the kitchen and esp. with kids around.

Anyhow - back to it.

Edit: Oh yeah! And last night while we were both out on the deck, he actually snuggled against me standing up while we looked at the sunset!!
