Took the kids to SS and church w/out H. When I got out there was a text message from H saying he was at home depot. Later on he told me he didn't call because he didn't want my phone to ring during church. That was nice because I would have gotten home and he wouldn't have been there. So that is something. I called him (not sure why???--I know I shouldn't have) he hadn't had breakfast so we met for lunch. After we left he phoned to say he was going to get gas which was funny because I was there getting gas and I didn't tell him.
Kinda of down today, house is a mess, laundry to do and school work too. I was outside most of yesterday. The kids and I washed the van, weeded a little, and played. Our weather is beautiful, very springy and it won't last. Soon enough it will be in the 90s. So I let the house go... Maybe I will just head back outside and play some more.
Sounds like things are just getting there little by little. Probably because you have taken charge and started GAL of your own. I am inspired by you and trying to follow in your footsteps. He is now chekcing in with you because you stopped checking in with him...Hmmmm I hope to get those results soon too...LOL
I was watching a movie with H earlier this afternoon. He fell asleep, I kept watching. It mentions an A in the movie. I have watched shows that mention A before but today it just hit me wrong. I had a hard time shaking it. It just put me in a weird mood.
I start making noise (banging cabinet doors, closing doors louder than necessary--not slamming, though). H wakes up, knows I am irritated but goes about his business. After getting the kids fed I start a shower for D. H gets laundry which I had been working on and takes it to our room and starts folding. (for those of you who have been reading my thread know this is something for H to help). I clean the kitchen and finish up D in shower. I come in to help H and he says, "I got it if you have something else to do" So I left to grade some papers. I wasn't sure if he was mad or not. He didn't sound mad but he didn't sound happy either. A few minutes later he comes in and starts talking to me. So, I figure he's not mad. We watch Boston Legal on Sunday nights usually together. I was in living room grading papers and he had been in the bedroom. I was not going back and joining him. About half way through the show he comes out and sits on the couch and finishes watching the show in living room.
Curious about what is going on with him. Of course he isn't saying anything. I won't spend too much time trying to figure it out, I know that is useless. But it does make me wonder. Sherry
Hey Sherry, you know I don't believe in trying to figure it out either, but if I were to take a guess, I'd say since he awoke to find you acting angry, he thought you were mad at him, maybe even for falling asleep while watching the movie together? And maybe that's his motivation for trying to make it up to you by doing a chore? Or maybe the character in the movie was folding laundry and your H absorbed that through his unconscience while he was sleeping? Maybe that's an idea for Sun!
Sounds like you are doing so great Sherryl! I'm happy for you. The fact that H is helping out and seeking you out for even a small conversation or to watch a show is wonderful. I know what you mean about the A on TV. We were watching Deadwood tonight and there were several references. Very uncomfortable for me. Hope it was for him too. And the man's best friend even was cussing the guy having the A about how horrible a person he was, etc. Even better. Have you noticed that so many shows have connotations of A's? I sure have. Even stupid According to Jim! The W catches the H changes things about his appearance just because a cute girl tells him he'd look good in this or that. Seems like it's in my face no matter where I turn. Anxious to go to MC Wednesday. Anxious but nervous. (we're going together) We hadn't been following the MC's guidelines very well about setting a time to talk and only talking for a certain amount of time. We started there but I know it's me that kind of runs overtime.... Hang in there Sherryl. Keep focusing on the positives. Wish I had more of those!
I know what you mean. Everywhere I look, every channel I turn to it seems I see something to do with adultery, infidelity or divorce. It's like back in '99 we bought a new body style VW Jetta partly because it was so original and different. Suddenly there were Jettas around every corner.
On a lighter note, I contemplated getting my W a housewarming present when she moved out last week. I thought I'd give her some DVD's:
* Unfaithful * An Affair to Remember * Fatal Attraction * Bridges of Madison County * The Notebook
I thought better of it. Hey, we all need a laugh once in a while!!
