This past week H did so, so many AOS for me!!! I just couldnt believe it! It was one thing after another!! And a lot of them are things that probably mean a future for us...what I mean by that is...we bought a 7x7 shed and put out in yard, bought new kitchen sink and faucet and 2 new faucets for bathrooms, all things that are improving our home!
Lets start with last night...H and I went out out to eat, bacause softball games were cancelled AGAIN! Darn rain!!We had some good conversation..I also asked if maybe we could go hiking on Sunday after I went to church, but I got an "I dont think so" Oh well, I tried..maybe next time. I just let it go and tried not to let H see I was disappointed. We went home and watched a movie. H has been real good about letting me into his life and really talking to me. It feels so good that he is doing that and is not hiding anything from me anymore! I got ready for bed and went to bed while H was on computer.(One thing I am working on is going to bed and not getting upset when H does not go to bed when I do, this was one thing that used to cause fights between us. H felt like I was controlling his life.)
Sat morning, I had to go watch some friends kids for hour...but so weird, H was up before I was..like at 7!! He is NEVER up that early! Must have had lots on his mind! He got up and was off to Home Depot buying a new sink for kitchen and new faucet and 2 new faucets for bathrooms. When I got home from watching kids, H was busy at work. I asked if I could do anything and he said no. It took H all day, because things werent fitting, parts were so old, etc, and saw H getting frustrated many times, but he held in his temper...I was very impressed. Sometime around 5, I heard him on the phone with friend talking about him coming up to go out for couple beers. I was furious..I could feel my face getting hot...just last weekend, we were both talking about this weekend just being able to relax and not drink, so to hear him talking about going up there, made me upset. Plus he is going back to SD next Thurs. nite until Monday for family reunion, so I kind of wanted just kind of an "us" weekend. So, I went outside to try to calm down, did some painting, did some weed pulling and tried to figure out what I was going to say when he told me he was going out. Well, when he did tell me, I said, "OH, I just thought we talked about just not doing anything this weekend." Then he said, "Geez, you make it sound like I'm committing a crime or something by going out". What???? I wasn't sure if he was trying to get a reaction out of me or what..because I didnt say anything bad, or at least I didnt think it was bad. Then I said, "I am just disappointed, but I feel that you have done so much work around here this week and worked your a$$ off today, that you deserve to go out for a beer with the buddies." Phew..good save!! He started to say something, but then stopped..I am not sure what he was thinking at the time, but I do think he felt a little guilty. Later, I told him that I was going to go out for drink with friend too..and he said, "I thought you wanted to stay home?" and I said, "Well, I wanted to, but if you are not going to be home, then I dont really want to just sit home alone." I think that was good thing. It helps him to see I have a life BESIDES him!
Kind of funny, I called him like 5 min after he left and asked if he wanted me to move work van to back and he said he would stop by and do it, he hadnt left town yet. Hmmm...why could I not just move it..anyways....he came home and said "thanks for letting me know van was out front" So nice of him!!
Then he called me on his way to tell me he found my sunglasses in softball bag in back of car....again, nice gesture!! Its like he was trying to let me know he was sorry he was going out with buddies for night. And just so you all know...I wouldn't really mind so much that he goes out with them, but he drives 45 min away and stays overnight and they are single!! Yes..not to wonderful!!
Well, time for me to go to bed, but wanted to get this all in before I forgot about all the positives H has done for me!! Good night!
Oh well, I tried..maybe next time. I just let it go and tried not to let H see I was disappointed. We went home and watched a movie.
