Things sound good at the moment. I like your idea of the email something short and sweet and simple, just throughing out the offer and leave it in H hands to do what he will with it.
You seem in a peaceful path right now I am very happy for you...
Bri-- That is what I did. Now, we will see what he does. I have no expectations either way. If he says no thanks, I have back-up plans. It is becoming easier to stay calm, as long as I keep praying and remembering who is REALLY running this coaster. Gods is amazing and I give all glory and honor to him.

Alright--here is the email I sent last night, around 10pm.
Quote:
H--
I got a support group email to check the careline. Since you will be in a day earlier, with early liberty, do you want me to come pick you up? I thought you might like to get off the boat, spend the day with the kids, and eat a home-cooked meal. I can run you back out to the boat later on that evening, since you have duty on Friday. If so, just let me know where and what time and we will be there. Talk to you soon!

This is the response I recieved at 1:18 am

I don't know if I have duty or not. They nevertold us if we switched over to four section duty or not. I guess what I'll do is give yo ua call when I'm ready to go. Okay, talk to you soon.
So, it looks like H will be home this evening for a few hours. NOW, I have got to go finish picking up my house and get a shower!!!!

I have a few minutes. H and the little kids are laying down. He has had 4 hours sleep in the last 40 hours. He is exhausted.
I got a half hug in the car when I picked him up and we chatted all the way back about what is going on at work. I was affirming and validated him all the way home. For my efforts, he turned sideways in the seat toward me (I was driving) and made eye contact with me several times. He talked TO me not AT me. D5 asked him several times if he was going to stay tonight with us. He does not have to be back to the ship until Saturday at 1:30pm. I think he is planning to drive to his parents' house tonight after he puts the kids to bed and come back here tomorrow evening. He is so tired, I almost wish he would wait, get a good night's sleep, and head down in the early morning. Before anyone asks, YES, if he asks to stay here, I will let him. He can even sleep in my bed Right now, he is curled up in S2's racecar toddler bed!
We still do not know if he got his promotion. Rumor mill has it as anywhere between today and next Friday! It is so frustrating to not know anything. it is like this every year.
D16 threw chicken strips and tater tots in the oven so that they would be ready when we got back. We all sat down and ate lunch together as a family. It was nice, really nice.
On a more personal note, today D5 told her preschool teacher that her mommy is happier since we have been going to church all the time. Also said her Daddy will come home, since God answers prayers. Teacher asked her did she know when her Daddy will come home and she said "When God says Daddy is ready." I love her innocence! She and S2 went with me to the pier.
Alright, I will be in later on this evening,maybe, depending on H's plans. Since my computer is in the middle of the family room, I will not be able to play here if he stays.
Later! Smooches!!
