I totally forgot to journal here about a couple small things that DID happen this weekend, Saturday night before prom.

H texted to tell me his parents had made it into town and told me they were eating. He asked if anyone at the house wanted something to eat and encouraged me to "take advantage of (him) being nice (insert smiley face here)." I told him that would be great and gave a list of three things for S7, D2 and me. H and his parents got here, food in tow, but we quickly had to leave to catch DD16&17 walk into prom.

Later, I was hanging with friends and texted H a quick, "Thank you for dinner!"

He replied: "Is it what you wanted?" And then wrote: "Your girls looked absolutely amazing tonight. Good job, momma."

I just replied: "Yes. And thank you. :)"

Dinner stuff? Nice.
"Your girls"? ... when he's raised them since they were 4 and 5 years old? Ouch.

Oh well. I brushed it off and moved right along ...
