The BEST Part of My Day Today: SD’s Words

I overheard a conversation between FH and SD while cooking dinner this evening. I didn’t hear exactly what he said, but SD’s response to FH was:

“She babysits us WAY more than you do.”

I know she was referencing me. And while I think “babysit” isn’t necessarily the best term, I’m thrilled to know someone else besides me pointed it out. Especially since the other person who pointed it out is one who FH holds in such unconditional and high regard.

And I didn’t even have to say a thing! Sweet sweet truth and validation.

Previously, I wrote about the blow up my fiancé and I had over a few relatively small things. (See the entry titled “The Resentment Runs Deep.”) I calmly discussed exactly what I wrote to be met with silence for several hours afterward. Eventually, he opened up, expressing defeat. And now there’s a cold silence that makes me want to pack up and run 200 miles back to my hometown... the one I left to be here.

Last night, I posted a rant. I went to bed angry and I woke up angry.

So here’s an instant replay. My fiancé and I are sitting at the table discussing the things I’d discovered with my market research so far. (I’m writing my business plan.) This goes on for about 10 minutes. Then, I’m mid-sentence about wedding statistics when he says, “I need to call my daughter.” He walks away and grabs his phone. OK. I guess I was getting boring. I ignore him and busy myself with getting ready for our visit with friends.
