H finally emailed back after i txted him. said he thought pulling S out of school a week early was fine. ocean shores sounds great. said he would miss them more knowing they were further away but will be happy to know that i was with them having fun. then mentioned a memory that i had forgotten.
we live in a city of mountains and water so we use to take the kids to the local beaches often (not ocean but still nice). one day, S (who must have been about 4 at the time) was digging for treasure and when he turned around, i stuck a little foil bag of chocolate koala bear cookies for S to "discover". he was thrilled! at the time we also laughed because we thought.. hmmmm.. hope he doesn't dig up stuff we didn't plant and try to eat it. anyway, H was saying he was looking forward to seeing the treasures that S would bring back to show him.. unless it was chocolate koala bears. wow. surprised that someone would actually remember a happy memory.
H wants to take S to school tomorrow. i said my mom would be here but he still wants to come. i don't want to deny him from seeing the kids but.. awkward. my mom isn't his biggest fan these days. so sad because she loved him!
weird thing.. when my gf was here on the weekend, she mentioned that her H had called mine to see if he wanted to go for a beer. her H is a total family man and thinks H is crazy. apparently H said sure.. give me a call and got off the phone quickly. yikes! hope he doesn't think i set that up because i totally did not!! H really likes him too so he must be nervous to see what people have to say.
another blah day. love the kids. love love love. but i'm sad thinking about how someone who loved you so much can be so distant in a short amount of time. sad.
purg - definitely have to plan vegas!
