Yeah, you're not joking - my sister lives there! Though strictly speaking she's not British, but that's another story...

Funny that we are all on holiday talk!

Yesterday afternoon was a goodbye party for D10's class. she finishes up elementary school and all the kids, moms, and a few dads went to the park to barbecue and play games.
Prince Charming came to join us (D10, MIL, and me) after finishing work. Upon returning home, he helped put D10 to bed while I cleaned up our BBQ stuff. Then I asked him if I should open a bottle of wine; he said that'd be lovely.


A little chit-chat. Talk about the kids, about MIL. There were other things on my mind ... like when the hell are you going to get rid of OW in your life, etc. Then HE addresses a subject I've been fretting about: summer vacation! He has been an [censored] on our last vacations together (I now know that he was emailing and SMSing with OW EVERERYDAY) OR he has been taking trips alone "to think"... more like escape responsibilty....anyway I am digressing.

I've been going through holiday broshures and have got a couple holiday plans from our travel agent and was planning a holiday on my own with D10 (D17 will be working at a summer boarding school). WH had noticed, perhaps felt left out, and asked. I told him that I would probably be going to Collioure (Rousillon-French Catalonia coast). He asked if he could join us!!!


Well folks, I don't know if I have a WH about to become a FWH or a cake eating fence sitter on my hands!?! Monday is WH appointment with SH.

I did give WH HNHN to read chapters 1,2, and 10 --- didn't want to over-challenge him. Last night he said he had read the first 2 chapters, liked the book, and planned to read the whole thing!!!!

I am trying to remain even-keel and not get too hopeful. I've been rejected and burned too many times.


Still, I have a small little hope. Maybe not for a summer in love, but perhaps a new start and the beginning of recovery.

I was grateful for my car with airco today.
I went shopping for things for my new house when I noticed a 2-year old lying on the floor of a hardware store, crying. Her 8 months pregnant mother soon showed up, explaining that the little girl lost mommy's car/house keys. The poor woman kept looking for the keys but the store is quite big and she was getting tired, and so was little girl, and it was really hot. So I offered to drove her home, which she finally accepted. I got her home safely (luckily the door wasn't locked) and the airco-temperature in my car finally made her relax, I think she was getting in a bit of a shock.

I remembered vividly how I felt 15 years ago, when I was 8 months pregnant like she was, and also in the middle of a heath wave. And I didn't have a whining 2-year old to carry around!

Dear LT,
getting him into orbit around Earth might help <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />.
If the aliens let him.
