Hi gang! Just stopping by so you can all give me a whack and tell me to keep my mouth shut!

The kids and I were a my MIL's last night for pizza. D8 brought up the fact that it is our anniversary next week and she wanted us to do something for it. I laughed and said that if anyone goes out it will be daddy and I. My MIL said, oh, I forgot it was coming up and then, you'll have to remind H about it. I said that I had mentioned it to him before he left.

Then she said, are you going out? I said that I planned to ask him if we could do something upon his return from hunting. (She did offer to watch the kids though - even overnight if we want!- although that implies more than my H has admitted to anyone about us so far )

Now though, I will have to make sure to bring it up when he gets here on Tuesday night, otherwise she will ask him about it when she talks to him.

See, it is hard not talking to her about H at all as she has been a good friend and we get along great. When this all started I turned to her. But since H and I started having our late night visits and , I haven't said hardly a word to her about anything. When I do, she seems skeptical and negative.

She wants things to work out, but since her H left her when my H was very young, she has always said not to get my hopes up. However, her H had multiple OW and left for one of them. My H doesn't have one at all, never has, and has shown all of the signs of returning.

Anyway, I just have to remind myself that she is my MIL, and we are close, but she is not someone I can make comments like that too at this time. Maybe never again - even as things begin to work out for H and I.

Thanks for listening folks. You are great!
