Kitti - you asked a depressed guy to get into a girly convo with you about which day you should celebrate your anniversary on? Sounds like a Mars/Venus moment to me.
Concentrate instead on the fact that he thanked you for your patience - he appreciates your strength - and bring Bob Barker home with you when you get back from California
As for a month with 7 kids out of school? Get them outside, that's all I can say! Are there any day programs at the local city rec center or such?
Oh - and make your future emails to H sweet, funny, clever, upbeat - get Bob Barker to write them for you, okay?
