Still in the tunnel with hubby

[kjensen]

Hi Chel,

Sorry your H left you such a mess at home and work. Hard not to focus feelings on the relationship when you're working on cleaning up stuff!

I don't think there are many street performers on Pearl Street this time of year and unfortunately we've had the cold spell everyone else has had so our sunshine has been more absent than usual. I've been getting out and running Christmas errands-really need to do some cleanup/organization in the basement but just haven't gotten to it.

H dropped by unannounced this afternoon hoping to spend some time with the girls. They both were 'occupied' with watching tv/texting/studying so he didn't end up spending much time with them, sadly. I invited H for a walk outside but it was short due to the cold wind we have today. I offered H some tea and he stayed for a bit.

He was really in a fog-said he went to bed at 7pm last night and woke up at 7am and was trying to wake up the rest of the day. Still he found ways to criticize or question things I said today which was nothing heavy, just about shopping with D12 and the dance performance we saw yesterday. D14 considers that 'fighting', even though I let H criticize/question and I don't defend..just move on... Hard to find the balance there. Sadly D14 says she would rather H just doesn't come over if he's going to be like that (and she's the one closest to him now)..

So H left on an OK note. He was sad the girls didn't want to spend time with him.

I have so much cleaning/cooking/laundry/grocery shopping to do I can't even find a minute to read the books I got from the library last week...thought I'd have some "breather" today..but none yet.

Grace: I wish I could have your way with words! I just don't seem to get it together quick enough!

Chel: Hang in there. Keep busy, Keep moving!

Hugs and Handshakes to ALL!!!!
