A few of the things that have happened since my last journaling:
I’ve gotten extremely busy. S11 noted last week that we are hardly home on the weekends anymore with the added kids’ activities.
I am trying to adjust my housekeeping and meal routine so that being out so much works without our dinner menu deteriorating to pizza. They are happy, so right now it’s all good.
I identified going out to dinner as something I enjoy and miss doing with my H. My girlfriends are mostly available for lunch, not in the evening.
I’ve been out three times at the invitation of my S’s school parent association. This coming weekend I am going to a fancy benefit dinner with a girlfriend.
These opportunities dropped into my lap, so I am fairly certain that Someone knew I was bothered and decided to do something to raise my spirits ☺
On the H front, H has: 1. Made it to one of our youngest’s baseball game. The whole family was able to go. 2. Taken two of our son’s clothes shopping I asked him to because I know absolutely nothing about men’s clothing. 3. Told me I looked nice on Easter. I had a new outfit on. I can’t remember the last compliment he gave me. A couple of weeks earlier he had gone to a work function dressed in suit and tie. He looked very nice. I told him so. 4. Called me into our office to look at pictures online of the function later that day. He was the best dressed. I told him so. 5. Took me briefly into his arms on Easter morning and kissed me on the lips, and said “Happy Easter”. I was stunned, but didn’t skip a beat. I told him Happy Easter back. I figured this was one of those touch and go, hit and run moments I’ve read about on this board, so I wondered briefly about it, then let it go. 6. Told me a few times when he was going to be late, or what happened at work that day, or that he had some sort of appointment (doctor or dentist) 7. Cleaned out his fish tank. 8. Told me something his boss did that upset him. 9. Is taking an interest in helping S17 with a science experiment for school involving a potted carnivorous plant. H got his own and is caring for it
Trying to work on me and enjoy the spring weather.
