Hey Pam - Knew you'd be waiting for an update, but couldn't believe it when it really happened. Still can't believe it now!

HoldingOn - I am your hero? I wouldn't be welcoming my H home were it not from the lessons I've learned from everyone here on the BB - including you.

Nitaf - okay - now I'm gonna need your support all the more. Dbing 24-7 is going to be exhausting and more challenging than anything I've done so far.

Cathy - You have been one of my main cheerleaders in this process. You ROCK! Now, I am going to need all the pearls of wisdom that you can share - having my H here is going to mean that I have to work that much harder. You of all people know what that means!

Journaling (maybe this will help someone else some day - and me too!)

I am still in the hyper mode today even though I am exhausted. Didn't sleep well - seemed weird to share our bed again - as well as the covers LOL! H and his friend went out to eat after moving part of his stuff home last night. Before he left, he asked if it was okay (he used to just inform me of his plans). Then he came home, watched the news, came in to bed (I was already there) and cuddled and .

I didn't say much, but did say - Welcome home. So now today I am scrambling to get things cleaned up so that we can figure out what of his new stuff we will keep (furniture, TV, DVD player - yeah all new!) and what we will get rid of (yukky old couch, chairs, etc).

The next few days will be exhausting and stressful as this continues. I also need to keep an eye on the kids. They didn't say much - of course they want daddy home, but there will be an adjustment phase for them too.

I still can't believe it....
