something has been on my mind all morning. stick with me you will understand why..

We all got up at 6.45 am this morning (me, dp, DS1 and ds2) everything is as normal as any other day, Dp gets himself ready and I get ds2 ready for him to take to nursery. They go off and leave at 7.15am.
I then start to get myself ready and ds1 ready to take to school. At about 7.30am, the phone rings,
" hello" ( me)
" morning" (dp)
" erm..morning" ( me frowning- he only left 15 mins ago)
" oh..er. hello...erm, xxxxx has left his reading bag in car" (dp)
" ok, its not a problem " (me)
we then say goodbye to eachother.

so here i am now at home ( working this afternoon) and dp has phoned me now about 4x for various unimportant things and keeps asking me if im ok.

looking back at conversation on phone this morning, i am becoming increasingly more paranoid that he phoned me by mistake and had intended to phone someone else, when i go over the conversation in my head he sounded as if he was "greeting" someone else- why would he ring me 15 mins after he left and wish me good morning?

am i paranoid or would you be suspicious?

i realise now that maybe i sound a bit ridiculous, but i will mention it tonight, just casually though. dont want to nail him if he has done nothing wrong.
im not normally paranoid, i am abit stressed with college work, maybe my mind is doing overtime.

the more i think about it, the more i feel less suspicious, but thanks for putting my mind at rest

I can understand the accidental phone call this morning but why has he rung so many times this afternoon? Not thinking you should be suspicious but it is curious.

did DS1 leave his reading bag in the car?

tiredemma · 12/01/2006 16:34

im afraid i have been a bit of an arse......

firstly ds1 did leave his bag in the car.
secondly, dp did forget who he was calling this morning- he knew he had to call into work to check that one of his drivers had turned in for work, and knew that he had to call me re ds's school bag- so got muddled when making calls.

and thirdly ( and the worse one as i feel awful...)
he rang throughout day to see if postie had been as he has booked me a day spa at eden hall for my birthday ( its my bday tomorrow and he knew i would open the post if it arrived)

i feel awful for not trusting him.

I came into work at 4pm and it was playing on my mind so i phoned him at work and asked him outright, why did he sound surprised to hear me this morning.
i could almost hear him fall off his chair laughing.

what a fool. (me)

Oh tiredemma .... what a laugh!

Reminds me of the time when I was pg with DD and I got my knickers in a twist because of funny phone calls that DH was making (not many, just a couple) and a couple of calls that came to the house that he answered and then within a minute had rung off again saying it was his mum ...
I was 8 and a half months pregnant and very emotional, accusing him of having an affair.
And then one day he turned up at home with my mum and dad in the car saying, "Here's my affair you silly old moo!"
For months he and my dad had been arranging for my parents to come all the way from England to NZ as a surprise in time for the birth of the baby! [teary eyed emoticon at the lovely memory]

Didn't I say he might have something planned? Female intuition usually picks up something, it's just up to you as to how you interpret it!

Hope you have a brill time, when you come back you'll be refreshedemma!

Prufrock · 12/01/2006 19:51

Oh bless.

Eden Hall is fab. Remember to take your own slippers or flip flops though. And IME you don't actually need to book anything other than the basic day - there is plenty to do and you wll leave feeling pampered without having any extra treatments.

tiredemma · 12/01/2006 19:58

cant believe how daft i was. am overjoyed at the thought of a day plodding around in a dressing gown being pampered.

thanks for the tips prufock!!
