MLC, H and me

[courageous wife]

H and the kids finally connected and they just left to spend the night and morning tomorrow with him for Father's Day.

I was on the computer when H got here and he actually sought me out. All chipper and happy...he asked if doing the branches was a pain (ya think?) then D11 said that the A/C wasn't working right (I wasn't going to ask him for help) so he took a look and it is not a simple fix so told him not to worry about it tonight.

Kids went on out to the car and he mentioned how good the flowers were looking etc. and then asked how everything else was going. It was a general question so I gave him a general answer, "fine" and he said "I still care, I don't want you to think I don't" and something else, can't remember how he said it but meaning he didn't want us to not get along. I just nodded and then we talked about S14 for a little bit.

H also mentioned he was going to buy dog food but saw that I had already gotten some and that he would have had to wait until payday anyway cause he was out of money...a "why?" popped out of my mouth (crap...didn't mean to ask a ?) and he shrugged and said hospital bills etc.

Then he talked about the rental house and getting busy with that...

That is the most he has talked to me in WEEKS.
And the first time he mentioned that he still cares since January.

I promise that I am cool...no expectations...at all. In fact, it kinda brought me down a little...

The best part of the whole thing was that OW was waiting out in the car the whole time in the heat!!!!!


Now trying to decide whether to meet SIL or not...there are going to be lots of H's old friends etc. there and do I want to deal with the "where's your H?" questions...
