What a joyous couple days this has been.  So, I have been loving my new job.  And, unlike last week, DH seems interested and happy for me so far this week.  In fact, both Monday and Tuesday night I came home to dinner on the table.  Hell, last night he even made his own lunch for today.  I did tell him that I appreciated his help immensely.  I am cautiously optmistic that this will remain, although I certainly do not expect him to make dinner every night, etc. as he works a hard job too!  I am just so very grateful for his showing me that he is a little bit more engaged.

So, the real test will be this weekend.  As those of you that have read my entries before knows, the ex is taking the middle step child out of town this weekend.  The other two skids are coming to stay the weekend, two nights earlier than their normal weekend visit.  So, initially DH was going to be working OT Friday night through Sunday.  However, that is all up in the air right now.  He told me last night the BM was dropping the kids off tomorrow afternoon so now that I was working he needed to get home early himself (sorry DH, I do not feel bad).  I have no plans for dinner any of the nights they are here.  And, Saturday is actually my birthday (my biggest wish would for them not to be here but that is not going to happen lol).  Anyway, it will be interesting to see how DH responds.  I already have plans to make myself scarce all weekend, even if he is not working OT as I do not have any desire to spend any more time with this kids than I need to.  Isn't that sooo bad?
