It's been a few days. The weekend was good and uneventful, which is also nice. Lots of games for the boys, no wins sadly.
So as the workshop is getting closer, H seems more interested. I really don't want to share too much with him just yet. I want to see what its all about and what I get out of it, for me. I gave him the address of course, and there is an emergency number in case he needs to reach me (emergency only). Other than that, he knows that it is a skill building workshop. No real details.
Last night, when he came home he said "i know that I don't say it enough but I will really miss you while you are away at this workshop. Not for the things you do around here, but for this" and pointed between himself and I. I thanked him. I am actually quite excited for this time away, but didn't want to make a big deal.
He asked me if we can go out to dinner as a family on Wednesday night to send me off.
Our anniversary is coming up next month and falls right between a bachelor party he is attending and a business trip he will take with his boss. He said he wanted to go somewhere overnight for our anniversary. On my last call with my DB coach she said that I should let him plan it and go along.
So last night he was hinting that I should find a place. When I didn't say anything, he said "you know what, I will plan it. I will handle it"
My biggest 180's lately have been giving up control in the home and with the kids, and letting him step up to do things. He has thanked me many times for this, and said he was feeling like a failure as a parent before this. For the kids, this will be good as well.
