Thanks Burgbud, I'll have to stop by and say hi. Anna is a good chiquita

I've often thought that I always post the negative in my situation because that is, like so many others, where I struggle the most. So, here is a more positive post.

Yesterday I met H at home for lunch. It was nice to have an hour to talk....he didn't mention missing the kids once, whereas he usually comments something about missing them or wishing they were there, etc. I was sitting on the couch and he laid across so that he was touching my lower back. Nice.
Last night we got into an argument about...I'll give you one guess .....S5's bedtime. We argued, not too bad, I went for a walk, came back in and said goodnight. Saying goodnight is in and of itself a positive thing because it would not be anything for me to go to bed without acknowledging him. Ok, so what's good about that right? He came in before he went to bed and kissed me on the forehead and this morning I saw the movie 'The Notebook' in the DVD player. He must have been feeling sentimental I guess. Anyway, considering how our typical argument ends, I thought this was pretty positive.
