H was a sweetheart yesterday about making sure I had a good birthday. H and S15 got back mid-afternoon from shopping for me and they were both like little kids in their delight in wrapping gifts and not letting me know what they had gotten. It was so cute and heartwarming.
After the birthday stuff was done, H brought out the lamps I wanted new cords on and set about taking those apart. He was kind of showing me how to change cords, but these were complicated ones that we both knew I would never be able to figure out on my own. At one point I had to run to the basement to get something for H and when I got back he had already removed the old cord. H then asked in kind of a strange way what I would like to do next. I wasn't quite sure what he was asking so I just kind of flirted a little and told him I wanted to get the lamps fixed (but we had to run to the store first to get new cords and clamps). I went back downstairs to tell son where we were going and to grab my shoes. I went back to where H was and started to put my shoes on.....and H asked if I really wanted to fix the lamps next, or if I had something else on my mind...so we headed upstairs instead.
Later, we picked up the stuff for the lamps then H took me and S15 out to dinner. He even took me to the place D22 was working at, which he does not like to go to, just so I would get to see a little more of the kids on my birthday. H was so unbelievable nice and considerate all day.
I know, no expectations.....
Today it was just S15 and I that went to church. That was the first time at church without H and it was very hard.
S15 was having a SuperBowl party so H came over late this afternoon to hook up the tv in the basement. H knocked loudly before he came in and I just told him not to do that again. Having H knock at our home was just incredibly painful.
I was in the process of fixing nachos for the party and H asked if he was invited to stay....I told him sure, as long as there was no more knocking. H started to say something but then stopped......and did stay eat.
It was a pleasant enough evening. Before H left he did ask me if there was anything else I wanted him to do before he left. I wasn't sure where he was going with that question, but I just shook my head "no".
S15 did ask me a few minutes ago if "Dad had gone home" and I told him yes. I am not sure where he got that information from but H and I do need to talk to the kids soon.
