Trying to find MY way to happiness

[ValerieA]

Well, I DID IT!!!

H just called to let me know that he had to check out (mf)'s water heater and was going to pick up XXX (friend) to help him out (H isn't the handyman type). There's no hot water whatsoever. I reminded H that he was still welcome to come over to the house while I'm gone -- even if it's only to give the kids their baths.

Then I said, "Would you mind taking (baby), too, please because I had some things I really wanted to do today." H asked what things, and I told him about my pampering day . H said, "Alright. Uhhh....I guess get all their things together that they'll need for the weekend, (blah blah blah). I'll need a number to call you at in case I need to get a hold of you."

My service won't reach that far . I told H I was going to give him P's cell phone number (she's alright with that). There was dead silence for a moment, then he said ok and we hung up. BTW, I did tell him just how thankful I am .

So...I didn't necessarily put my foot down, but I did stand up a bit for what I wanted .
