Thanks Deb and Shiny.

Shiny - you always have great insight. I lurk about your thread, but haven't said anything. Maybe I will stop and just say hi when I have nothing to add.

My H brought up the trip again last night when he took the kids over to MIL for a bit. (He still didn't take them to apartment - hmmmm...) He said he thought he'd have to work late and that his cousin is coming up. I just agreed with him and let him know if his plans change, he is welcome to join us.

Then I mentioned that I had bought some ribs to grill tonight (after all it is 24 degrees out!) and had rented the kids some movies. I said if he didn't have plans, he could come and watch a movie with me. He said he didn't have plans and would see us later.

My H is coming over to spend time with kids on Saturday night because I have a college roommate coming in to town and the girls are getting together. Then Sunday afternoon, we are all getting together with additional folks and it sounds as if he will take them then too.

Not only is that nice for me, but good for him since he was sick so much of last weekend and really didn't spend much time with them.

So the saga continues...

Here are my wishes for 2004:

1. H comes home.
2. H and I continue to rebuild and renew R with each other and our children.
3. All my BB friends have their wishes come true too.

Happy New Year everyone!
