Spent most of Sat with S, he looked at cars with me, we went to see the "Passion" together (whew!!), had a home cooked meal.He joined his local friends for a few hours...they were home from college, too.
Sun morning, I went to church on my own. H. came over around 11am, s woke up and we had brunch together. We all hung out, exercied, played pool, and watched b-ball. It was pleasant. Mid afternoon, s wanted a haircut...from me (of course)...H came in and said he was leaving. Quick good-bye to son. Said he would call me tomorrow to schedule our brunch/lunch on Wed (he has Dentist appt near hear). It was awkward, but I said, "ok fine"
About 10 minutes later, H called en route to city and said, "that was awkward saying bye...anything on your mind?" I said "No, not really, but I agreed that was awkward." I said I was glad he called back, cuz it was kind of an abrupt good-bye. We made plans to meet after my staff mtg and his dentist appt. on Wed. We agreed that it was wierd for S to see us feeling awkward.
somehow that meade me feel better, that H called....he felt the tension, I guess.
I spent the rest of the afternoon with s, watching B-ball. He left around 5:30. D called from west coast, wondering how our week-end went with s. I briefed her and she said for me to check my emails from her. I checked, she had emailed me her Sat night....was emotional about friends, roommates, future...etc....was kind of PMS-sing, I guess. She is so open with me.
I forwarded her email to H along with breif note, appreciating that he scrambled his Fri schedule to accomodate s and how he handled our conversation.
So my BB friends and supporters....was that too forward? H and I had agreed to share all kids emails/conversations, so we were both abreast of what's happening with them. i opened the door for kind conversation on the email. Don't think it was too overt. I guess I'm testing the waters.
We'll see. All in all, think the week-end went quite well. I think I anticipate the worst ..and then am ready and prepared, so it acutally goes much better.
