I have to work a clean up event tomorrow and then I am seeing a friend who is in town tomorrow night. In between, I think H and I will go pick strawberries. Sunday - maybe a hike, maybe brunch.
I have no plans, laundry tonight. Get the kids back tomorrow night so stbx can work some OT.
Today is DS#2's birthday, he opened one of his presents last night and shouted "I got a furby box!" LOL. My response was "and there's a furby in it too!".
Last night I went to my favorite coffee shop/pizzeria. I ended up chatting with the owner in addition to the servers I know. It was a great time and when I left they all did the hug and double-kiss greeting with me. The woman who works as a hostess there invited me to her yoga class this weekend and the barista shared some strawberries that she'd brought in from the farmer's market. I'm grateful for that whole night.
I will be spending the day with H tomorrow. Maybe we'll go out for a walk and a nice lunch. On Sunday, I'm going to my friend's daughter's birthday party. She's turning 4!
Things have been very open and honest this week and I feel hopeful, but I'm trying to just keep focusing on putting myself first and keeping my needs and wants in mind. We start counseling hopefully next week.

Good. I am glad you guys are both making an effort. I hope counseling is helpful!

We had a very good talk the other night where we both showed up and admitted we were afraid to show up in the relationship and trust each other. It was easier for us to hide ourselves because of our own insecurities and because we both have never really had anyone that we trusted was interested in getting to know us without hurting either of us. I think we are struggling with very similar issues and maybe that is a positive thing? IDK but I will find out.

A guy I'm kind of meh about asked me to lunch today. I feel a little weird having a date in the middle of my work day, but it seemed like a good, low pressure way to see if I want to persue him further. I don't know why, but I'm nervous.

I'm glad to hear that you're both being open about what's going on. I hope counseling goes well and that you're both able to continue to be open and honest with each other. Big hugs!

H went to meet with our realtor (who we love and I swear is like a life coach) and he was gone so long he forgot to bring me back the fries and milkshake from the diner next to where they met. WTF, H? Then he says, "oh, well they closed at 9." There are places to procure a milkshake and fries after 9pm, next time I very strongly suggest you find one.
doglove It's good for you both that you are trying. You will learn from this, no matter what the end result is.
I am so glad it is Friday. I am so glad I don't have any plans for this weekend. I honestly would love to just lay in the park and read all day long. It's supposed to be beautiful.

It's like he's never been around a pregnant woman before!

Even not pregnant, do not promise me an oreo milkshake and then not deliver!

That's what I figured - I will be okay not matter what happens.
