Didn't you also say your H has a lot going on in school right now? So both of you are possibly under a lot of extra stress, and putting pressure on yourselves to work on the new R. I'm wondering if this is one of those things that are going to come on his timing when he gets to that comfort level versus your timing.
As a wise lady keeps telling me, you have to control the things that are under your control, YOU!
You obviously have a lot going on, school, work, new R, and the holidays.
What about do some extra exercise, eat some chocolate, go to a movie or the library to read some magazines, of course you could always go shopping but with the crowds that might not be a stress free choice! Be nice to Sage, she is dealing with a lot of stress right now and she is a pretty special lady!!
Then when the extra stress drops off you see how you feel about things at a better time, when your mental energy isn't being pulled so many different directions.
Right now you don't need to be spending the mental energy on this one and if your mind is not quiet you cannot 'hear' what others are saying to you, or at least 'see' what they mean. I am betting you know where that line came from!!!!!
Sending you wishes for a wonderful, productive and peaceful day today!!!!!
