Smoother Sailing

As of now, things seem to be moving much smoother between hubby - this after a "come to Jesus meeting" we had Friday evening. I asked why make such a horrible comment if not just to get back at me, a comment made defensively. I got the answer I expected, that there was no other reason. I explained that something like that could very well show the commenter to seem untrustworthy and verbally abusive, and I didn't intend to be married to someone with either of those qualities. As a result, there was an apology followed by lunch at Macaroni Grill and shopping in Little Rock on Saturday.
I imagine the shopping excursion was meant to show the great lengths and sacrifice hubby is willing to go to just for lil' ol' me. And I took full advantage: A very busy mall on Saturday afternoon in July. Bath and Body Works (producing sensory overload in dear allergy-ridden hubby) and window shopping in Zales, Friedmans, Oxford, and any other jewelry store within eye shot. Save for Rashid and his carload of future jihadists making me momentarily nervous, it's safe to say I had a good time.

The runt called twice yesterday, once while I was at work and busy and again last night. He seems to be having a good time and judging from the fact that he usually calls to check in with me only because someone's parent tells him to and this time that was not the case, he must be missing mom just a bit. And for this, I'm grateful. Maybe he's getting ready to come home for a bit before school starts. And he better be - he's got to have shots!! Speaking of which, so do I this week, so I better get to it. More later.
