Hi Gordie, Roist and KML - nice to hear from you all and thanks for the input. Appreciated.

Roist - h refuses to use GPS systems. Must be some hard wiring from the primitive days of "I am not lost! I don't need directions."

KML - On my hotel away on BD, I inadvertently made myself look like I was having an affair. I was 30 minutes up the coast from where I live. I mentioned my kids to the front desk woman and of course I had a wedding ring on. She asked what the reason was for my visit and I said I was just away from home for work. Then she asked for my license which had my 30 minute away address on it. Doh!

It was awkward. I was tempted to show her my before and after BD picture to ask: who would sleep with me?!? Look how I've aged in 1 year!!!!

Just a quick post.

On the weekend h asked the boys to go do x with him and reverted back to the pretending I wasn't in the room. Okey-dokey. He didn't invite me along.

The next day from the hall, without making eye contact he said I could come along unless I had my own plans. (Looks like he waited TO invite me until I had my own plans). As he said the word "plans" he made what appeared to be a lassoing motion with his wrist. So I asked what that meant. Does he think I am going to wrangle cattle?

He said "I don't know." And kidded "go do whatever it is middle aged women go out and do for fun." (So I guess he was giving me a whoop it up motion?)

I was ready for him and said that thankfully I've come to terms with my age and I'm enjoying it in a peaceful, dignified way. I managed to say it with a smile and a lightness even though I wanted to clobber him with my purse. He is years older than me! And he's trying to make me feel like some random middle aged woman out there?!? Anyway, I didn't go with them. I needed the break. So I told him to enjoy!

There are moments where he helps the kids in surprisingly "old h" ways. I practically hurt myself running over there to validate those moments.

Point is: he is beginning to initiate doing some things with the kids. And on a weekend? Now, THAT is a first in a lonnng while.

As for me? I am pretty busy as I am working more hours.
