And here I am .... H's MLC ....

[PEI]

Ok, at risk of sharing TMI I have to relate a funny story from this morning ...

So the background on yesterday first ...

Yesterday when H landed I was upset and cranky - left over from the 'confirmation' I got Wednesday night ... knew better but I was still processing it and should have steered clear for a bit. Anyway, ended up having a bit of conversation about how crappy the schedule worked out this week, give and take, and then I basically said "why don't we just put it on the table, we're in a place where we don't need deception ... I'm sure that you're not still holding to the agreement we had, and you know what, it doesn't matter ... blah, blah, blah" (and no 2x4 needed, I know, I know!!!) and H basically responds with "I'm not having an emotional affair (read - I AM having a physical affair?), I haven't just put stuff out there for 15 years (touche!) and it doesn't just come naturally (read - it takes work and that's hard - poor baby!). I left the room and went outside to chat on the phone with a friend and lay in the sun - helps me feel grounded. It worked.

I was laying out there and decided to make a peace offering (we were after all going to spend the entire afternoon and evening together with the kids). So I texted H from the deck and said "It's really hot out here" ... short text exchange and he joined me on the deck ...

We were just sitting in silence when he says "sorry for earlier" and I replied "me too, don't worry about it, chit happens". Then he says "sorry about all of this" to which I reply "I don't know what to say to that" and he says "I don't expect you to say anything". More silence, but not painfully uncomfortable, then I suggest instead of taking the kids to the fair grounds why don't we go to the beach. He agrees and we head in to get ready.

I put on my new suit and he makes some comment (here's the TMI!) about me being 'bathing suit ready' and I just flat out tell him that I had a brazilian this week. He stops and looks at me, raises his eyebrows and then moves on. We go on to have a fun time at the beach with the kids (pics on the alt) and then we have supper a greasy spoon and off to the fireworks for Canada Day. We got home late with the kiddos, put them to bed and he offered to 'let' me stay since I had to work today for a bit, and he took the couch.

So.... this morning I got ready for work and I'm standing in the kitchen talking to him when he comments on my hair - I just had it done and I've changed the color so that it's really dark underneath with light blond and red streaks on the top (usually keep it blond/light brown) ... he says "you've gone all crazy with your black hair and the wax job" to which I reply ... wait for it ... "hey, maybe I'm having a mid life crisis!" ... and he says "Trust me, they're not all they're cracked up to be!" I nearly friggin' died ... laughed for 10 mins over that one! He finishes with "I'm still hoping to get a motorcycle out of mine!" I laughed some more and then said "at least you can have a sense of humour about it" and he says "at least YOU can!"

I'm still chuckling!
Peace
