First, did I hear you say that you needed my company MORE than Yankee candles? Even more than sage and citrus ones? Wow! But, yes, you did read correctly. We are going shopping and then we're going for drinks. You provide the when. Both D4 and S1 will be chilling out with a baby-sitter, too - for which George and Harry’s will be extremely grateful, I’m sure!
I agree completely with you on detachment. I’ve done the ‘look at me NOT answering the phone’ thing; the ‘look at me I did NOT ask why there are seventy of your outfits strewn throughout your vehicle’ thing; and even the ‘look at me NOT accepting your offer to get together’ thing. The only problem was that I didn’t do those things because I truly didn’t WANT to or because I truly didn’t CARE…I did them to try and make it seem as such. Now? I just don’t care!
Okay, I have to admit, I am a slow learner when it comes to a lot of these concepts. The one about darkness being a positive thing was a biggie for me. I couldn’t see how vanishing from the planet would make him anything more than free to do more of what he shouldn’t be doing. I realize now, in this more detached frame of mind, that he will notice…because he has. And if MY husband would notice it and at least think about it…trust me, they all will!
