Today's update:

After the call this morning I immediately realized that H took both of my credit cards!!! I called him right back to see if I could meet him at his work and get one. No answer, called again 1/2 hour later. No answer. I found one in my desk that I hadn't yet activated, so I did. Now the one he has doesn't work anymore (hee-hee).

We live in the suburbs of Chicago. It was about 75 degrees here. Threw the kids in the car, put the top down and went into the city to the zoo. Now, keep in mind that this is totally not like me. I HATE driving on expressways. I have about a 3 mile radius from my home that I always stay in. Our hair was flying and we were singing! Spent 4 hours at the zoo, had a fantastic time!!! Without H, see we don't need him to make us happy, we can do it on our own. Traffic was crazy coming back, plus we got a little lost. Took us 2 hours in bumper to bumper traffic.

Right after we get home, H calls, sounding all sheepish. "Hey, I'm still in the city and now I'm going to get something to eat. Not sure when I'll be home" I tell him thanks for calling and have a good time. Oh, btw, we were in the city too. He says, "oh, out for a drive in the mustang?" I tell him we went to the zoo and had a great day, see ya later.

Now, we will see if he really was in the city cause I know first hand what the traffic was like since the zoo is very close to Wrigley field. STOP!!!! Don't do it Mama. Do not test him. Who cares???

Let him lie to me. It is not really about me. He is lying because he feels guilty and still loves me. If he didn't he would probably just tell the truth. On the other hand, maybe he is telling the truth and I am just imaging all of this in my head (which I have been known to do). I will give him the benefit of the doubt.

If he is not here at bedtime, I will make his lunch like I always do and write him a note, like I always do, saying I hope he had a good day.

Thank you all for your support. I really do feel stronger!!
