well, today is a better day. Yes the kids were rowdy, yes, I had a migraine that refused to go away, yes, the apartment is trashed, but today was better.

Hubby came home from work, we chatted briefly, he ate, read the paper, then got on here. While he was online I took my bath (so as not to disturb him with my constant chatter). When I was done I read the paper, did some bookwork and we went to bed. Of course I didn't stay there, but at least we're on the same wavelength I think.

I said 'I love you' to him tonight and he mumbled yeah or something like that. I said, well, do you or don't you? and he simply said, would I put up with you if I didn't?

That man does not have a romantic bone in his body.
