Well all,

It is another busy Friday as the start of another busy weekend.

My SIL breezed into town yesterday from CA with her 18 month old son. She has some work to do on her rental house here in town. I had not seen my little nephew before so that was a treat. Funny how they are at that age and I have a feeling that this little guy doesn't get told "no" too often.

This SIL is the youngest child (can you say "baby") in H's family of seven. She and H have very similiar personalities, strong willed, independent, do it my way, he who dies with the most toys wins, etc. SIL had an A of her own that went on several years and was finally over about 2 years ago. Family rumor has it that this nephew of mine may not be his father's son, if you know what I mean. And yesterday SIL must have said 10 times in two hours "doesn't he look like his brother?"

I don't care who the father is, but that is another long story. It is weird to talk to SIL about her A, she is still angry, defensive, justifying, and her M isn't yet healed from what she tells me.

It was also my H that kept telling her to give up OM and now he is the one with an OW, I guess the seed doesn't fall too far from the tree.

H news...

I spoke to H on the phone for about two minutes yesterday when he called to talk to the boys. I cannot remember the convo verbatim but here is the highlight I wanted to mention.

H - So what are you up to?

Me- I am cleaning out my closet

H - What are you doing that for?

Me - (I don't remember what I said)

H- Are you cleaning out my side for when I move back in?

Me (in shock) "no say" the Portuguese expression that means I'm not telling

H- laughs

Here again I am not getting pumped but there are just small tidbits that are telling me that things are moving in a positive direction.

And I was of course cleaning his side for just that reason, but I really didn't want to put any pressure or make him think that I had him all figured out. Just wanted to leave the door open and the light on, so to speak.

He also said that he couldn't wait to get the h*** out of Brazil and come home on Saturday, I take that as another good sign that all is not well in his self made paradise.

I also had to tell H that one of S15's class mates committed suicide and had to be taken off life support yesterday. I noticed that when H talked to him their convo lasted a lot longer than usual. I hope that H is realizing that this ife we have here is a very short and precious time, not to be wasted with bimbos.

take care all,

Pam
