oh yeah, mothers day, last sunday. I would have preferred to go out to eat...H offered to grill....so that's what we did. I tried to keep my focus not on the fact that I still wind up doing part of the food prep and most of the clean up, but on that he offered to do it. H gave me a card and a candle. I would like for him to be more creative (got a candle for Vday as well) but I focused on the fact that he got me SOMETHING.... there have been years where he didnt. AND, S13 told me that his Dad asked him to go shopping with him....he helped pick out the candle, and got me a card also. S said he was in 2nd grade the last time his dad did that (5 years ago).

It almost seems like H is a teeny bit warmer this week as well, perhaps because I'm different?????

This evening is a going away party for the female co-worker in out of town office who is leaving to get married. H is planning to go for a bit. I'm not, not that close to her...h hasnt asked me to go with him, I was bothered by that some, and felt fussy about it, decided I'm not going to say a word, which will be a 180. I don't particularly want to go. I certainly hope monster isnt there, but I'm not going be his shadow for the rest of my life. if she is, he'll have to deal with it.

went to my aunt/uncle's 50th without him and had a good time, D went with me, will post/journal more about that 1st of the week. no time today.


been around awhile!
