Kim - I do sound like I am full of it, don't I. I guessed I see him coming home but then on the other hand, he is leaving soon for his new job. I mean on the surface, it would look like he is trying to "escape" OW, but he is also "escaping" from the boys and I. With him being alone in a foreign country, anything can happen.... As it has been said many times on this board, don't worry about things that has not happened....so, I will thought-STOP here, and focus on the POSITIVES and continue with all my DBING.... One thing that I just read is that to act after consciously thinking about something, and not REACT. It's really something that I need to practice. And to VALIDATE, VALIDATE, VALIDATE...
Summary for H's Return: - Agree and Validate - Listen to what H is really saying - Act Consciously, DON'T REACT - Be Happy - Don't talk TOO Much. (Huge 180) - Act "As-IF"
Wow I've been there, done that....lose my mind guessing when H is gone, when he's back I feel more sane...calm that I know where he is and what he's doing. It's a horrible process but at some point it has got to get easier.
Your summary for H's return is a good start...just remember to stick to it. It's great that if he makes it back for the party you can use the party as a bit of a distraction, easier to act AS IF when you're busy....and H can see what a Supermom that you are! Have fun, fun, and more fun...and if H wants to join in then all the better. Really hope he makes it to your S's party and doesn't need to fly off immediately.
O.K. Yoyo that's more like it. Sometimes I think it helps when we get a shake from someone and that's all I was doing as I know you would me. Look how long it took you to get into my head about ignoring OW. Your goals sound great and we are all hanging for the update once he arrives home. I still have everything crossed for you YoYo. I know one thing that will happen that will put you in a better mood (LOL)Hehehehe....KDU....GOODLUCK
H is back!!! I have not yet seen him. He called me after he got home. He said his phone ran out of battery, and had to get it charged first at home. H seemed very cheerful..told me that he's having breakfast near our home, inquired where I was (DUh?? At work!!!). He told me about his contract for the new job. He was about to sign it when he saw that they have put-in that he was going as a SINGLE....and then he said he told them that the family will join him in January, and they should amend the contract to include FAMILY, then he will sign the amended contract (This is good right? That he is thinking of us joining him in January?) He still sounded really cheeful, and added that he will talk to his direct superior informally today, and then only submit his official resignation on Monday. Told him that I was getting my company car today, and our convo led to the sale of our personal cars...and that led to talk about a friend. He was very amused about this friend of ours, being quoted in the newspaper and all... He told me that he is trying to delay his trip away (to sort out details for the new job) so that he could be around for S8's party. Then, I cut short the convo as the line was kinda bad and I could hardly hear him...and he ended the call "talk to you again later" (could hear a smile from that...)
So, all and all...it's quite positive, except that I think I sounded quite weird by being calm and cool...and devoid of emotions. The only time I perked up was when he talked about our friend...that sort of took the spotlight off and I think I relaxed enough to giggle abit...
Spent more time making more light sabres last night... Printed some posters (Star Wars theme, of course) for the decoration...I still have to sort out the party food and party packs. It is kinda stressful...planning a party. BUt at least it takes my mind of my sitch.
Oooooh Yoyo that does sound good. Looks like H might have made his decision. Just play it cool and follow his lead. Now no matter what he says just keep calm....Can't wait for your next update
