I also got a silver star sticker with "Bravo" on it for exercising at least 3 days this past week!
Woot!
Husband attended with me and clapped for me!
So that went really well!
We did have an issue that came up.
I get a bit anxious when issues arise twice in one week...once should be enough!
Well, apparently, yesterday, Husband's boss approached Husband and said:
Boss: We are having dinner with some people next week...I know you and your wife carpool to work. Will you be able to join us? Or will this be a problem for either you or your wife?
Husband:
No problem at all.
Sigh.
When he told me about it, I said, "Wait, we have already committed to dinner at the country club on Wed with my Parents to celebrate Mother's Day.
Him, "Oh {censored}!"
Me: Can you tell your boss that you had a prior engagement? Explain that it's for Mother's Day??
Him: I don't think so, its a dinner with some pretty important people.
Me: He ASKED you if it would be a problem for you or your wife...that implies to me that he'd be understanding. Please just go explain and ask.
Him: Maybe...
Then this morning on IM:
ME: love love Husband: hey ME: :-) Husband: hrm. ya the dinner is scheduled for the 12th, wed ME: will you tell him about celebrating Mother's day ME: ? Husband: with the guy who is the head of the encyclopedia... that i will be working on Husband: i will see if we can have it thursday ME: that would be wonderful Husband: dont spose we could do country club thurs?

Ok...So that was the IM of our conversation this morning.
