Keep breathing...

Another good day today. Had a good morning walk with the dogs and then picked the kids up from their sleepover and took them to the pumpkin patch for some fun. H declined to join us, saying that he needed a day to just recover.

I still worry a little about H having plans with POW today (because that was what they originally talked about), but it appears that his car hadn't moved a bit from where it was parked when I left and I guess I have no reason to believe that he went out with her. I texted him from the farm and he said he hoped we were having fun. I actually have no interest in checking his phone right now so I guess I'll never know.

When we got back, he'd put the laundry in the dryer (something he rarely does) and washed all the dishes. He seemed interested in seeing the pumpkins that I brought home, even though I only got 4 this year (instead of a whole fall "arrangement"). Then he helped the boys put up some Halloween decorations while I made dinner.

We ate dinner as a family and laughed at a story H told us about the dog barking his head off at this green balloon that was peeking over the fence from the neighbor's birthday party.

After dinner H said, "Thanks for taking care of everything today." I actually didn't do anything other than what I usually do, but what I usually do is a whole lot, and he recognized it.

After the kids went to bed we watched a little TV and laughed together. We don't have a whole lot of common interests but we both enjoy stand up comedy and it's nice to laugh with him.

Someone pinch me! It all seems too good to be true, and I really really hope that it isn't.
