Bustingout and IO - Thank you for asking about S4. He's recuperated so much better now. He's definitely more himself. I'm so thankful his surgery went well and he is doing better.

He will continue to have a catheter for another 2 weeks. H has taken it upon himself to spend the night with him. That's right, he's on full time dad mode.

Journaling----
Since H is around more it's kinda weird. I forgot what it was like to live with him. I kinda liked being the captain of my ship but it's nice to have company. Gotta find balance.

We talked yesterday about family stuff. His talk was about managing our properties. My talk was about parenting stuff. We talked, we listened and S4 was watching.

I want to be a good role model for my kids. I want my kids to know what is good communication and I hope they will learn that from us. I didn't get that from my parents.

Everyone's asleep and it's after midnight. This is now the only time I get to be alone. I enjoy watching TV with him but I also enjoy time to myself. Again, balance.

I didn't ask him to help care for S4. I didn't ask him to spend the night nor did I expect him to volunteer. I don't know how long he'll be here and I'm not going to ask.

After he goes to work, I notice he still has his toothbrush in the bathroom sink. That's how I know he's staying again.

I don't want to think about tomorrow. Today is just fine.

MC is Thurs night.
