hmmm? so we weren't here when h got home...so he worked in the yard moving some snow...he was inside when we got back..he brought us home a new tree...he didn't run off and hide...he stayed around and held the vaccum cord while I vacuumed the corner where the other tree (long story) was and helped me move a bench..then went to the play room with son...I put dd to bed and then off to class..when I returned he was asleep on the couch..I did a few things and then turned off the tv and shook (lightly) the pillow that was under his head..he made it up to bed 2 min later..this am he made toast for the kids and tea for me...

again today he says he will be home early..this time 2 or 3..we wont be home anyway as we have a play date (shush, don't tell the kids..they'll be at me to go all morning) at 1.

so this evening we will be (according to h) bringing in the new tree, hanging the rest of the lights outside and then possibly decorating the tree.
