This weekend was interesting. I DB'd the best I could.

I GAL and noticed some 180's, my sister and her 4 kids came to visit. We had so much fun we went to a park and played mini golf and got the kids ice cream. They played and had a blast. My H arrived on Sat afternoon and when he got in the house, he seemed confused that I had company (I 180'd and didn't run this by him first). I told him that my sister was here visiting for a few day. He paused for a second then said "okay" and went to surprise the kids.

That afternoon we went to a playground and everyone had so much fun. My son and H played BB and the little kids played and ran around. That evening I made homemade pizzas (one of the things that my H and I loved to do together is cook). I prepared a few different kinds and delivered them to my H and my sister. We had wine and a good conversation. My H was in the living room watching a movie with the kids so I stayed with my sister to visit in the dining room.

When it was bedtime, he attempted to give me a hug so I gave him a short 1/2 hug and took the kids to bed.

On Sunday we went swimming I drove to the pool, but H took the keys to come home. I did slip and flirt a little. I told him that he looked good driving my car, he smiled. After we got back home H went to the store after because my sister requested that he make some food. He's very talented and makes some amazing dishes. He jumped at the offer. When he is away, he doesn't cook anymore, but when he comes back home, that passion he has comes back. I know he loves to cook for other people and I'm glad he did that. He also asked for my help in the kitchen, I'm trying not to read into it too much, but it definitely felt nice.

That night, I tucked my kids in and he gave me a big hug, I went in for the real thing but kept it brief.

This morning I got a ride to work and left my car at home so he could take our S somewhere for his B-day.

I'm at work with healthy meals packed and I'm going to the gym around lunchtime.

I feel so good about all of this. I will continue to DB and practice my life-long 180's.

Things I know I need to work on... physical appearance-looking my best when he's around--not waiting on him so much. I have always catered to him without him asking. Like bringing him a cup of coffee in the morning, having a breakfast prepared that he would need to re-heat (I didn't make him anything today).

I do feel like I'm making progress and will keep y'all updated.
