Well, had a very, very, very good day. Read Laura Munson's book and somehow, although I find it pretentious on many levels, it really strengthened me in my view. It was like therapy. Honestly. I recommend it. It is a memoir and doesn't offer much help in the way of dealing with an MLC spouse, but it sure does do it's job in making you feel as if the view and tact you are taking is the correct one.(assuming you are putting yourself and your own growth and responsibility for your own happiness first)
We've had a great family day together. We topped it off with an award ceremony at the Young Marines (a youth group for under 18 marine hopefuls) where our little recruit got honors and Private First Class. Two awards out of four given, very cool.
We were going to go out as a family and hang tonight but instead are staying in, drinking, eating popcorn and about to watch The Road, a movie H and I have been wanting to see for some time.
Tonight is the night he's typically out with OW and I'm shocked he's here and hanging with us... but moreso, that he's hanging with a smile on his face and lightness in his heart. We're having a great time together. He's on his way to the store for butter now as we ran out for the popcorn, so I thought I'd journal while it's still fresh.
