Journaling:

Aaaahhhh......what a day . Too bad it's over.....but I've got the next 3 days to look forward to !

So...H arrived around 2:30pm or so for the kids. He seemed to be fairly short with me and in a bit of a hurry to get going ( ), but I was still putting the boys' stuff together. There came a point where it was really irking me so I asked, "Did I do something wrong?" H looked at me and said, "No. Why?" I told him, "I don't know. You just seem kinda short with me and like you're in a hurry or something." He didn't say anything, and I walked away to continue packing things.

When I walked back into the kitchen, H was laying on the floor with the baby crawling on him. As I was walking past him, H grabbed my ankle and said, "I'm sorry if I seemed short with you and in a hurry. I didn't mean to. I just thought everything would be ready for us to go." I told H ok, and I apologized for not having all the bags packed for the kids.

Just out of curiosity , I asked H if he picked up his new wedding band yet.....he hadn't.

I finished up, and after kissing all the boys goodbye, I thanked H again for taking the boys for this weekend. H said, "You don't need to thank me. They ARE my kids.".....EXCUUUSE ME, H .....Well, I kind of wished I hadn't, but I motioned for H to let me give him a kiss on the cheek. He let me, but he didn't look too thrilled about it.

They left, I shut the garage door, and I was on the verge of tears..... .....but I told myself, "Come on. Keep it together...(sigh)...Time to go and GAL."

Alright. By that time, it was just after 3pm, and my hair appt was for 5pm. I decided I would go to some other place for my haircut and keep the appt for just the coloring and highlighting -- I didn't feel like paying $30 for the haircut at the salon . It's bad enough they charge over $100 for the other two !

Anyway, that left me with no time for a manicure and pedicure today since coloring/highlighting took about an hour and a half, and the place I go to for my manicure closes at 7pm. So guess where I'll be tomorrow morning ?!

BTW, I LOVE MY HAIR ! I was waaaayyy overdue for a change .

After getting my hair done, well....I just couldn't help myself, and I HAD to go shopping ! I bought a new bathing suit that hides the extra pounds well , and of course, a new outfit for Girls' Night Out ! WOOO HOOO!!!!

Oh! And we must not forget the cute little black purse to match ! Hmmmm.....I hope I have a decent pair of shoes to go along with it.....hmmmm .....I just might have to make another shopping trip before heading out tomorrow afternoon LOL!!!

Thanks for listening, everyone!
