Running.. Okay, I will try to remember to put a dash of sugar into the appreciation thing.

I think the one thing that I need to constantly do is to manage my own expectations. Just this morning, I was upset when H mentioned that he might stay back a couple of days longer when he goes away today for his business trip. He was due back on Friday (we have a dinner with S6's teacher and other parents)

H: Oh..if I do come back this friday
Me: what do you mean?
H: Some other ppl are extending their trip.
Me: So you say. Don't know if that's true (Voice changed to a tad accusatory) Okay then. I will go for the dinner myself then. Nevermind.
H: Okay! Okay! I won't stay then. I will come back as scheduled.
Me: I said no need. I will go myself (rolled over to my side of the bed)
H: (Big sigh!) Don't say no need. i said I will come back.

SILENCE between us.. and then I just got up and left the room. THings then sort of went back to normalcy. Is that right or what???
