Sorry to hear you had to see the kids off; I purposely left before my kids had to go, because I couldn't see the car off. Its ok to let those feelings come through, sometimes, though.
Oh, and about Knocked Up--better than going out to GET knocked up (was the first thing that popped into my head).
Don't be surprised if the kids and/or the friend mention this to H--sometimes it is better for them to hear their pig-headedness from others for a change, instead of us.
I'm going to think about keeping a time journal for the kids, myself--think its a good idea.
Keep your head up--what else are you planning for the weekend? D and I are getting nails done tomorrow morning, then off to buy her a bedroom set I saw. :0)
Thanks for the hugs, all. As you can see, it's way late but I'm up checking in w/y'all b/f I can sleep. lol.
Knocked Up was hugely funny - I recommend it to everyone! The guys in the audience (who prolly were there - at a 'chick flick' - pretty reluctantly at first) laughed the loudest!! And it was seriously funny thruout the whole thing. It's got the ('girl' stuff) R angles, but also shows Men at their, uh, unique Guy-ness selves. Funny, but also very touching, too (in a not-sappy way), b/c it's about, well, being pregnant & giving birth. Made me, o/c, compare it to H&me w/our first pregnancy/birth and, thruout, I'd think "J would laugh his butt off at that!" or "That reminds me of what H said/did during [ultrasound, baby-shopping, birth...]"
LOL about me getting Knocked Up. I really don't think immaculate conceptions occur much knowadays, so I think I'm safe.
My friend [who is driving to GA w/her husband/kids] had my kids call me 3 times today! God bless her heart.
As for the rest of the wkend, my BFF from Tampa is driving in in the a.m., but we don't have any def. plans yet. That eve., my friend A is supposed to be meeting another friend & a guy she wants A to meet for dinner, and A wants me & BFF to join them. We'll see. Sun. I have no plans yet.
Good news, tho, on the P.front since we ran into friend/A's co-worker & her family at dinner tonight & she & her daughter want me to give P.lessons in their home!
Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.

In my pity party morning yest. I had the (pitiful) thought that it's been exactly 5 mo. + 5 days since the last time H asked me how I was - and that was pretty quickly followed w/the thought that it's been even longer than that (definately pre-Bomb! 3 mo. earlier) that I'd asked HIM that question. So. . . lots of reflection on that whole subject and. . .
This morn. D calls from GA (from H's phone; yest. all calls were from friend's cell) & as we talk I hear H in the background (He & D were getting b'fast), so I know he's hearing her side of the convo. I ask D about the hotel (The girl wants to live in the Grand Floridian "when we have more money" & she's all about living large!) & talk positively when she says she wants to come home to see me; asked her to draw me a pic of the hotel or the pool area or her having fun, etc. Finally, when she asks if I wanted to talk to H, I said "Sure!" and, first thing I say is (cheerful) "Hi! How's it going?" (Ok, not quite Hallmark, but much better than our standard flat "Hey"s, lol) and, surprise, surprise, we talked nicely & casually for maybe 5 min., with even a tiny lol from H when I expressed surprise when H said [friend/jj instructor] was stressing & he said "You obviously don't know N very well, lol." So, a good interaction & Yay, me.
Am doing more paperwork (Pilates stuff), listenign to music, catching up on some Newcomers & waiting for my BFF to arrive. Oh, and started printing out the Chapters of Stillme's life, lol. However this ends, I will want to reflect on what was said & done & not forget to remember the important stuff in life.
Cheers, friends. I'll catch y'all later!
PS - Hey, Dre---uh, Nomo, just so we're even, it's not Julie, Jennifer or Juicy(?!). . .but lots of people DREAM of me.

PS - did you think you had to put it in all caps for me to "get it"? Short bus, huh?
You may not have noticed, but I tend to rush to Overkill on the written word accents, expressions & adjectives.
And, no, "G" if I was in a bottle; "J" if that's my name.

Loved the difference it made just by changing your greeting to H. Amazing @ how it matters, & how quickly H changed his tone, isn't it?
All the progress in the financial department & especially in your tweaking the presentation of it to H is too wonderful. Funny how it's sometimes hard for us to see how differently an interaction can go just by changing to ending w/ a ?. I'm going to give this a try too.
Cheers to you & have a great wkend w/BFF!
PS)BTW, I did mean you Drenomo (DB KIng), so nomo need to be PSS)It's not Julie or Juicy(?!) for me either...but people do CALL me
