We had a very nice day yesterday. I planned dinner for 5:30 so the Lions would be done getting beat before everyone had to come to the table. One time early in the day I said something and then immediately wished I hadn't said it the way I did. I was upstairs preparing food, H was on his computer and the kids were each in a different part of the house.

I took him a sandwich and said "is this going to be our Thanksgiving?" and he got exasperated and said with a tone "What do you want me to do?" I said "Nothing, just eat your sandwich" and left the room. What I should have said was "will you please peel potatoes for me".

Anyway after a while he came to the kitchen and had the boys each come help me with something, then he asked what he could do and the rest of the day was great! We all cleaned up after dinner and then H suggested we play Monopoly.

This morning he woke me up in a frisky mood and that was VERY nice. Still never an ILU or anything like that.

I am very thankful that this was not last year. I am still not sure how I made it through the day last year.

I have to get better at really telling him what I need when he gives me the opportunity. That will be one of my new goals. Speaking of which, I need to work my my list of goals.
