MLC, H & me...moving foward

[courageous wife]

You are welcome GAG!

GAG and SA-hope you are both enjoying your day too!

I was but now I am kinda sad! H showed up unexpectedly today. SS and his family were here and we were all having a great time when H walked in bearing gifts for the grandkids. I noticed him first and cheerfully said hi! SS and DIL didn't really say anything...

If you remember, he told me the other day that he didn't plan on picking up the kids until tomorrow and then would keep them a couple of days cause he had time off.

The boys opened their gifts and played for a bit with them while we all watched. Kids had H open the gifts they had gotten them and SS asked DIL if she was ready to go. So, they left earlier than planned and then H asked the kids if they were ready to go. I told him that they were not as they didn't expect him to come until tomorrow as that is what we last talked about. He said "oh, sorry about that...I forgot to call you". So, the kids packed up some clothes quickly and H talked about how the pick up wasn't starting and he would look at it blah, blah, blah. Kids were ready and I asked him when they would be home and he said probably tomorrow unless they wanted to stay longer but that they'd probably be bored.

I asked him to please call me and let me know if they were going to stay an extra night.

I wasn't prepared for them to be gone today..we had plans. So, now I am sitting here alone. DIL said she got ahold of him yesterday and asked him if he wanted to stop by when he picked up the kids and he hem hawed around giving her the impression that he wouldn't. We were all shocked when he got here. Seriously, it went from lots of noise and laughter to total quiet. Everyone was here and then they were gone. I am grateful that I got to enjoy this morning with everyone...

I wonder what it felt like for H to walk in and see everyone here having fun?

I hope everyone is having a good day!
