The end of a long, crappy day. Thank goodness. I've been putting off doing any hard core "thinking" today...unfortunately I know the thoughts are going to come when I lay down to get some much needed sleep.

SO did ask to speak with me earlier when he called to talk to our daughter. I pretended to be busy in the bathroom and D told him I couldn't talk right now. Also got a text that asked "Are you OK?"...I answered about an hour later with "yes". That was all.

So, time to give him space, right? All in all, I think I did as well as I could today. I didn't cry ( a few trickles - not even sure he saw them); I didn't make any scenes....just stayed out of his way while he took some furniture and clothes.

He will be coming here tomorrow (he asked what time he could come, I told home not before 4 when D7 gets home)...he'll be getting more things then, I suppose, as he didn't take much today. I have no idea what or when he plans on saying anything to the kids...the two oldest are already asking where he is, when he's coming "home". Wasn't very nice for me to be left with that. I have some grocery shopping that I plan on doing when he's here with the kids....anything to avoid any talks that could turn heated....or upsetting....I want to keep my composure at all times when he's around.
