ok posting frm my journal... has story from Friday plus wknd stuff...
Friday at lunch, I was out getting a new hair dryer (mine had spit fire multiple times then eventually wouldn't turn on!) and also a present for Siena... when DH called saying he could meet for lunch. Well, didn’t really want to SEE him since he said he'd been out on the boat (NOT with Siena on her bday)... but I acquiesced. He met up with me to get Siena a present, but was rushed to go eat... starving... he made me mad, more interested in eating than a gift for our daughter!!! And here I was missing her like crazy and so sad I wasn't with her!! Well, we go to lunch and out comes my sweet lil 2 yr old screaming 'mommy mommy!!' and running to me with a big ol hug and lotsa kisses!!! I about burst into tears right then and there! MIL and DH arranged it so it'd be a surprise. So I totally spoiled her, letting her sit on my lap during lunch and crawl under the table. After, she spotted a kiddie train ambling through the outdoor mall and sprinted for it... oh dear that's the most I've run in ages, ha!! I managed to catch up as she got to the train and we rode it... twice! And she bawled to go again but I needed to get back to work! Anyway, that whole lunch was such a treat for me... I hate not seeing her all day, especially on important days like her birthday!
DH didn't have a good reason for not keeping her... but he made up for it by letting ME see her at least. And after he missed her first Easter egg hunt Saturday and then didn't hang out with us Sat afternoon either, I had a gentle talk with him. Explained how he's spending so much free time away from us. And asked if he thought we were boring... because he's missing out and she'll only be this age a short while and yeah its just us sitting around or going to the store, etc... not as exciting as life used to be with 5k run races and exotic weekend trips all over the place... but this is his FAMILY and soon it won't be this 'easy' and will get really hectic crazy again. He felt really bad and I totally went about it the right way because he didn't get mad or confrontational and was more involved the rest of the weekend. Church and lunch with his family Sunday... and I slept a lot this weekend... Sprout has been a kickin machine!
