Trying LRT - Please Help!

[motherof3]

Today was our Company holiday party. It started off with a 2+ hour presentation of business accomplishments made throughout the year, what to expect in 2010, awards are given out, blah, blah, blah. Then a late lunch is provided offsite. Good food, good conversations, it was an overall good time.

So prior to the festivities, I setup my out of office email reply stating that I would be unavailable today and will return to the office tomorrow. Right after I set this up, H sent me an email regarding S's sign up for Spring baseball. So H received my automated out of office reply. Since we have not communicated directly for a couple of weeks, he had no idea that I was going to be out or why I would have taken the day off. HeHeHe.

During our luncheon, H called my cell phone but didn't leave a message. This is odd as he generally doesn't call me during the day. If there is something that he needs to tell me he uses email or calls in the evening to speak with the kids and then asks to speak to me.

Then, about the time H gets off work, he tried my cell phone again. I didn't answer and he didn't leave a message. Shortly thereafter, the house phone rings and lo and behold it is him. I didn't answer then either. For all he knows, I wasn't home.

Could it be he was curious as to my whereabouts and why I took the day off? Or did he just want to tell me something regarding the kids? I know I am trying to mind read. So I will stop.

Since H has the kids tonight, my normal routine is to call them before bedtime and say goodnight. I am not sure how to handle this phone call, as H clearly wanted to speak to me. If he does want to talk, do I acknowledge that I saw he tried to reach me? He knows that I always check my cellphone and the caller ID on the house phone for missed calls. Do I not say anything at all and let him bring it up? I don't know what to do as I have not been in this type of a position since H moved out. What do I tell him if he asks what I did today? How can I explain it mysteriously? Strange, but I almost feel like I have the upper hand on this. Then again he may not even ask, but want to be prepared on how to respond.
