WH came to see the girls tonight. I was under the assumption that he was going to take them to my sisters for a while and then bring them back home later in the evening....at least he told me he was going to...he also told me he was going to take them out to eat.<BR>Well.....he's a ball of sunshine when he walks in...seems to be in a really good mood. Even took off work a little early to come see them!!! (surprised here)<BR>He joked around with me all evening.....even about the $1400 he handed me about 10 minutes after he walked in the door. Didn't seem mad to have to give it to me.<BR>Anyway.....I was just joking around and said.....why don't you buy us a pizza for supper....he said.....call and order it. (surprised yet again)<BR>It was back and forth joking all night....a little sexual tension undertoning it all.<BR>I asked him if he would please put the running boards back on the truck sometime...since I'm only 5'2 and the truck has a 4 inch lift on it....believe me...I almost have to get a running start and jump in. He said.....oh....I guess I could put them back on sometime.<BR>After we ate we took the girls outside. He took the little ones for a bike ride...came back...and decided to go ahead and put the running boards on the truck for me.<BR>More joking around all evening.....he didn't say anything about talking about the divorce....didn't say anything about me having my rings back on....but I'm pretty sure he noticed.<BR>He was here for 4 hours.....longest so far....and after he told the girls goodbye I noticed he left a bag in the house and went out to give it to him.<BR>He made a comment...since the kids weren't around about another sexual favor for working on the truck....jokingly.<BR>I just turned around to walk off laughing....and then turned back around and did something that I haven't done for a while....just out of the blue...I said....<WH> I love you. He said.....ok...whatever.....joking. I looked at him....and I said....I do....I really do.<BR>With that....I turned around and walked into the house.<P>I noticed when I came in that our youngest had yet again went to the front window and was crying....watching her daddy leave again....I know he saw her.<BR>I consoled her...she's now asleep....but I cried along with her....cried because I wanted my husband to come home. First time I've done that in almost 3 weeks.<P><BR>

MP:<P>Nicely handled the proper Plan A way. One step at a time, one day at a time. Take the positive: the fact that it is there is an encouraging thing.<P>As for predicting fog lifting: hard to do from outside the fog; damn near impossible from within it.<P>Godspeed,<BR>STL

Dear MP,<P>A little peace and happiness came into your life tonight. I am glad. Your tears show there is still love in your heart. H smiled and that was a good sign. It made me happy to read your post. <P>Heard you helped H2u tonight also. Thanks.<P>Take Care,<BR>L.<P><BR>

MP,<BR>Glad it was a great night, you really deserve it. That was great that he put the running boards on for you - he's doing things for you. Maybe the OW will sense him ooozing from her clutches and start draining her bank - we can pray.<P>I think he needs to come home, I know how it must be hurting those little girls. Hope he sees that soon. You know - they never forget. Please take care, aftershock
