I'm envious of you...you getting calls and texts from H...I get ZERO when H is gone...doesn't call to ask if i need help or how his son is doing. So call yourself lucky in that department!
Light sabres! You made them? You're such a cool mom!
glj/KDK - Thanks for checking-in. Thanks for reminding me to not get overly-excited. I think sometimes I expect a little too much, which is REALLY silly of me. For example, I received text from H at about 6.10 pm (my time) and when he didn't text me again at about 9.30 pm, I was a little disappointed. On hindsight...It is REALLY REALLY silly of me...I mean, I can't expect H to have contact with me every three hours when he is half a world away, can I? I should be thankful for the daily phone call and few texts.. Yeah..I think I shouldn't drive myself up the wall for expecting the impossible!!!
It's Monday morning over here... just had to deal with S5's laziness to go to school. He had a cough and he said "mom, I shouldn't go to school today because if I do, I will pass all the germs to my friends". Nope, he didn't get out of that one.
Now..taking one day at a time... busying myself with more light sabres and the pinata...(yeap..all home-made to save on $$$) Contemplating of baking my own cake too...but with work and yoga plus party foods..I think the cake bit may be too much. So, think will skip on the cake.
Hey YoYo in regards to Anniversary does H remember it every other year. If so what does he normally do this might give you a bit of a guide.....Baby steps is right but sound good at the moment keep it up Yoyo - you can do it....KDU
Kim - H is terrible at remembering these things... Until this happened, even I don't really keep tabs. I know, I know, a good relationship needs proper nurturing. Guessed, we were so wrapped up with our kids, our jobs etc to really see that we should spend time together... Today, is our 18th anniversary of being together...brought it up about 3 weeks ago and he went "oh yeah..uh, wow...it's been 18 years. what a long time. I can remember that it took so much effort to chase after you"... Our wedding anniversary is in November.
I will have to let today pass. No point calling or texting him. It will definitely scare him off and put him in a depressed mood or make him feel bad, and then he will think that I am deliberately trying to make him feel bad. So, I will just lay low for today. No calls from H yet. It is almost 11 pm his time. MMMmmm YOYO ..keep calm and not ASSume anything!!
Better keep myself busy busy busy... do have a work meeting to go to this afternoon.
Hey as you said H doesn't remember those things well all he knows is it is November so wait until the end of November b4 you get disappointed as as you say if he and you have missed it in the past then I wouldn't worry about it as b4 you had troubles it wasn't a big deal all of the time so don't make it one now. I know its when things are bad that we remember all the dates but truly if it didn't matter all that much b4 don't make it an issue now.....I hope you understand what I am saying....KDU
Yeap..yeap...not gonna make an issue out of the dates. Now it's way pass the decent time for H to call...I know I shouldn't wonder, but he didn't call.... I should be working, but can't help wonder why he didn't call. I guessed, he has called everyday for the last week and I just don't want it to stop or for him to not remember us??!!? But I am not gonna let this get me down... the day is not over yet....
Yoyo stop it. One day when he was first about to go away you didn't for one moment think he would message you and call you every day and he had. Now if he doesn't today it is one day, maybe he was very busy it may not have anything to do with you or OW. Do not focus on it, focus on the fact that he has been in touch every other day. Whatever you do dont contact him, let it be him as if you do the contacting instead of him you will have let down all your previous work. Remember he will see it as you pursuing and he may think he has done the wrong thing by contacting you so as hard as it is sit tight and wait and see and don't read anything into it as you don't know anything about over there. Not trying to be harsh Yoyo just trying to keep you focused he will be home soon, I know not soon enough for you but it wont be long now, focus on that. Imagine what you will be like when he starts his new job so this is a real test for you step up you can do it. Just trying to encourage you to keep DBing Yoyo.....KDU.....P.S You are getting your hopes up too high buddy(((()))))
Kim - Thanks for the whack!!! I know. I know that I am getting my head in the clouds. I am coming down now...stretch you hand out to pull me down, will ya? Okay, I will get my act together... I know falling down will be hard. So, I will just focus on S8's birthday party for now. Plus my work! Sh!t ..been neglecting my work. I have to go to a meeting now...cheerio..thanks again for the reminder!
H finally texted about 9.30 pm last night. All he said was that he is going into the conference, and if everything was fine. And good night... I returned his text with equally "straight-forward" remark that everything is fine, boys are ok. Good Night.
This morning, H tried to call my mobile at about 7.50 am. I was in the bathroom and missed his call. Then he called the house phone. I picked it up, and his voice sounded a wee bit upset and queried why I didn't pick up my phone. Told him that I was washing up. Then he sort of sounded normal again, and told me that he was at ToysRus trying to find something to buy for S5. He's already bought some games for S8 and wondering what to buy for S5, and went on to say that he needs to get something for S5 or S5 would complain to no-end. I agreed with him, and suggested something. Told him to get some Star Wars stuff for S8's party. Then S8 came on to the phone in the extension line and spoke to H for a bit, then H said put mom back on. Then H asked about me and about my little preparation , and then proceeded to tell me that his event would end tomorrow, and his flight would be either in the night or the following morning. Keeping my fingers crossed that all will be well......
I should be working, but can't help wonder why he didn't call. I guessed, he has called everyday for the last week and I just don't want it to stop or for him to not remember us??!!? But I am not gonna let this get me down... the day is not over yet....
and about my little preparation
