Went to a bridal shower with my cousin. H missed playing basketball (he is in a league) to watch DD so I could go. MIL went out with SIL. Perhaps he felt bad for gambling and such, but not sure. I got up that morning and he was already out of the house. When he returned I told him I needed to be at the bridal shower and asked if he could watch DD. He should he would. Before I left we shared in some convo and some laughs with DD. I was in a good mood prior to leaving for the shower so I kissed DD and then H right smack on the lips goodbye. H was holding DD at the time. And before he had time to react I was gone.
When I got back from the briday shower, H took the kids to the movies as he had promised. I took DD to visit my Mom. We stayed for dinner and when I returned home, H was no where to be found. Guess he was out. Don't quite recall when he got home. I was already asleep with DD.

I left for my optometrist appointment when I got up and straight to school afterwards. Stayed in school until 5:30pm to complete some assignments, dropped by old apt to pick up mail, and got home in time for dinner at 6:30pm. On the way home, a friend called to ask me to go out to a bar with her. Told her I would need to go home and make sure H was going to be home to take care of DD first. When I got home, I asked H if he was going to be home between 9-11pm. He is yes, why. He must have thought I wanted to ask him out like I have been doing. I said I wanted to go out and he said he would be home. I was in a very good mood the rest of the night. H seemed to pay a lot of attention to me as I moved around the house and got ready. Didn't put on makeup or anything, but showered and dressed. DD was a little fussy before I had to leave. I tried to clam her down and so did H. He noticed it was time for me to go out and told me so. I told him DD was my priority and I could leave a little late. When I finally did go I gave him a kiss on the lips again before I left.
It was nice to be out for a bit and to know DD is being cared for. Got home about 1am. Not long after I got into bed, DD started to move about. DD sleeps in the middle of the bed between H and me. Throughout the night, when she starts to move about, giving her the pacifier or bottle usually puts her back to sleep. I tried the pacifier and it didn't work. I softly asked H for the bottle on the bedside table next to him. Obviously he was not asleep because he got it right away and handed it to me. Perhaps he was being attentive to DD or waiting for me to return. Either reason is great!
H told me his mom wanted to go to the "Spirit Lady" the following day. I said I was aware and if he takes her, I will take care of DD.
Really wished he would ML to me again, but then again not sure if I should.
Tuesday, Feb. 27
Woke up this morning and DD and H was already up and in the livingroom. H took MIL to the "Spirit Lady" while I stayed with DD at home. H came back and right after getting in the door, told me of the horrid accident involving an elderly man and a vehicle that occurred on the corner of where he dropped his mom off. I didn't say much except express my shock.
H and I played with DD until MIL called and H went back to pick her up. When H came back we went to do our taxes. H forgot to bring his property tax statement so, he dropped me off at my parent's to pick up the property tax for their house and my medical fees statement before going back home. When he came back I was not ready to leave yet. I found him walking around the house and was surprised because I thought he would wait for me in the car. H has been afraid to be confronted by my Dad (part of the reason why he didn't visit my parents for Chinese New Year). My Dad was in the front yard and as we walked out to the driveway to the car, he said bye to my Dad. I am guessing they must have talked when H came back as well.
When we got to the accountant, H commented how this will be the last year we will be doing our taxes together. I bit my tongue to stop myself from commenting on it. There was such a long wait and since I was not able to get the paperwork for my parents' house, we decided to get our taxes done next week.
After we got home, I took MIL to the mall to purchase a purse and shoes for her trip to China. She will be leaving on March 16, 2007 to attend a wedding and to visit relatives.
When I got back, I played scrabble with the kids and H. After a couple of games I took a nap to prepare for my work shift.
All interactions today seemed good.
Yes, when I left for work, I kissed H on the lips again goodbye.
