MNI was great. It was a much needed break for me. I was so overdressed though, haha. I had to remove my sexy earrings and some of my lipstick because I felt a little uncomfortable. I did what you said and had a sweater and some flats in my car. I left the house looking sexy and did the switch in the car. I didn't get much of a reaction from H though, if he did react he kept it to himself.

I came home a little after 1am. H was asleep on the couch. I told him he could stay the night but he didn't want to. I know it was so not db'ing but I would have offered that to any of my friends who stayed watching my girls to 1 am and had to come back at 8am so I could work. He told me he couldn't, he didn't feel right about it. I said, okay, lock up when you leave and see you in the morning. I was very chipper though, at least to him. So be it.

I was in a great mood in the morning. I made a huge breakfast for everybody and coffee for H. I told H, Thank you for watching the girls, I had a really great time. It was true, I did.

I called H on Sunday night. It was about fantasy football (I'm a big fan). The guy I was playing had Tom Brady on his team and I knew H did too. I called to vent. It was total small talk but I just missed talking to him. Bad Lulu. Anyway, we joked and that was that. Well, this morning H called out of the blue to share his Fantasy Football tribulations from yesterday. It was different and different is good.

One thing I noticed this weekend is H has been more appreciative of things I do. I think I'm rubbing off on him. I have been thanking him for things he's been doing around the house. One of H's love languages is Words of Affirmation. I've been trying to be really conscious of saying nice things to him. Here lately it's been thanking him for the things he does and telling him how I appreciate them. You know, stupid stuff- bringing the trash in, mowing the grass, doing the dishes, etc. Anyway, younger dd wet her carseat in H's car. I helped him put it back together after we washed it. He made it a point to thank me for my help not once but twice. Verrrry Interesting!
