Hi folks.

It's funny that once again this week I have been posting more than lurking - and yet I forget to update my own thread!

My H has been rather quiet this week, I have let him be and will ask him this weekend. I know he has been really busy at work but I want to be sure that is what it is.

He has been home for one month. I want him to continue to know that he made the right decision. I am trying like heck to keep things up around here but hurt my low back earlier this week so I haven't been able to do everything that I want to do.

I have managed to take the kids to swimming every day, do a million loads of wash, grocery shopping, some cleaning, etc. But it doesn't seem like enough - am I being to hard on myself? I am afraid he will find something wrong and not say anything - which is how we ended up here in the first place. I am equally afraid that I injure my back worse and end up out of commission for longer.

But, rather than sit here and think "what is he thinking" and drive myself crazy - I am going to ask him what he is thinking - in a very loving way. I am going to let him know that I get scared when he is quiet because I am afraid that he is upset with me and not speaking up. I'll let you know how this goes.

I think it is probably one of the greatest challenges besetting those of us whose spouses come back home - wanting to know, but not wanting to cause upset or discomfort - but sometimes you just have to say - what the heck and ask....

No plans for the weekend here. Just tons of stuff to do around the house and yard. Will go to some fireworks somewhere and may go see the flotilla, but who knows?

I asked H about taking the kids to get some fireworks and he just smirked - which means he may have already gotten some....
