Hi Betsey, Thanks for asking about my night! I guess it was pretty uneventful. As stated, H had the commute from hell. He was pretty tired by the time he got home. But, you know what, Betsey? I am starting to see things your way. I have been way too negative, not looking at the baby steps. Thanks for not taking harder whacks at me at times! I see that I deserved it. For crying out loud, the man is in counseling with me! He is reading some of my books, and discussing them with me. He was very resistant to the books before. Last night, I set my 5LL book on his pillow, not on purpose, but to move it out of my way. He picked it up, and said, "Oh, did you find somethng you'd like for me to read?" HE WAS SINCERE!!! Before, he would have rolled his eyes at me and just moved it out of the way. Of course, on the same token, I would have placed it there on purpose back then. So, we are both moving forward in a positive way.
He thinks things thru FOREVER before he replies. It used to make me so crazy, waiting for a response, that I would push every button I could to get it. Oh my gosh, what wonderous things happen when I shut my mouth! It took him 2 days to tell me that he liked me telling him how I enjoyed his singing... So, I have to figure that the comments from the major discussions from the last few days will come out soon. And guess what? I WILL WAIT PATIENTLY!!! Anyway, last night we sat on the chair together and watched t.v. before bed. He waited for me to come up to bed when he was ready. Life is so much better.
I do have one question: I have not once mentioned the ring issue. Would it be wrong to just mention that I would like him to wear it? I don't know if he even knows that it is a big issue to me. He is trying very hard, so I think he would take that o.k. He may not have given it too much thought, so it may not be as deliberate as what I have been telling myself.
Another snow day today! I told H I would get his stuff together for his trip.
I just got done making eggs, sausage, waffles, toast, and orange smoothies for 3 lazy boys who are thrilled to have a day off! I would be too, if I had someone like me to take care of me!!!
