oh thank you all, so much. I was a bit scared to come back in case anyone thought I had just disappeared and been ungrateful. I really am not. I am thankful every day that you were all here with me through May and June, and now too, because I fear I will be back again to vent or moan or whatever.
Our anniversary is August 11th. I thought long and hard about trying to get away, but both DH and I realise this won't happen. There is, as I am sure you are all mightily sick of me telling you ad nauseam, nobody to look after the DC. We even thought of waiting until the two littlest ones were in bed and then sneaking off just for the night, but knowing my luck it will be the one night they decide to throw up or otherwise be ill and, anniversary or not, they come first.
We are looking into a holiday for us all next year though. I had been a bit iffy about booking anything for worry that DH will not "be here" but going on my gut feeling I he will, so I will go ahead and book up. You might remember my instinct was that he would not come home when he first said he would, and I was absolutely right, so I am a great believer in my feminine intuition.
He was busy this morning moving DD1's stuff back into her flat, as she moves down to London next week. She had been trying to get me to sort things out so that he could do the moving when she wasn't there as she doesn't wan to talk to him or see him, but I figured if he was good enough to do it then he was good enough to speak to about it, and so I left the arrangements to them. I think she is being a tiny bit melodramatic about things, as it is all about what he has done to "her". I know it must be frightening to realise that your dad isn't infallible, but I don't really know what to make of the relationship between them now.
There is so much more I want to say, but I am at work. When I next post I want to talk about our bedroom problems - I admit I have now let DH back into our room - so if I forget please do remind me...
