dikkert I think DH would conversely say everything is resting on his shoulders. We just see things in different ways. It's odd because in some ways I know he wouldn't leave me/us but at the same time I do worry.
We've been through worse than this together and come out the other side as strong as ever, but you never know what could be the final straw.
He is, generally, a wonderful DH.
Joe had a wonderful time with his friends. His face lit up when he saw them. Although he is much quieter than them even normally, it was a little sad for me to see them all so rough and tumbly and Joe just standing to one side. He's not used to the noise and excitement anymore.
We had a DVD on and one of my friends must have told them to sit down and be quiet because I went in with some drinks and Joe was sitting down with his arms and legs crossed. He whispered "Mummy, I'm sitting very still and very quiet so that I can have some party food". Bless him.
And when he got out of the bath last night he turned around and said "Mummy, all I want for Christmas is you." I cried buckets. Not least because all I want for Christmas is him. He has been so bright these last few days, I'm hoping it continues for Christmas.
The only downside to the weekend is that we have 2 freezers - one in the fridge freezer and another small one we keep in our hall(!) as we freeze a lot of our food. I went to put something in the hall one last night to discover a whole heap of water and a freezer full of defrosted food. Much of it food that people have cooked to help us out. We'll manage but I'm gutted for the time and effort people have put in and it's now all going in the bin.
Grrrrrrrrr.
