Her voicemail is full

yes ma'am.

I'm here today Ruby.    I was off playing yesterday......went to play a couple of sets of tennis with my youngest girl in the morning before it got too hot out, then we went to lunch and finished shopping for her school clothes.  When we got home, my oldest girl was back from school with a friend of hers who happened to bring over the newest Guitar Hero game so we spent the rest of the day playing with that. 

Didn't mean to cause you any concern Ruby......I'm fine, was just off playing yesterday, that's all.  Thanks for asking though; it's nice to be missed!

Ghost- did your husband do the right thing yesterday?

Yep, on Monday he kept his appointment, which really surprised me, but I'm glad that he did.  I'm hoping he'll make it through the next couple of weeks.....I expect this week will be the worst for him.  We're going to visit him next Monday......his counselor said it would be a good idea to wait a week, and I agree.  So I'm hoping my husband does the "work" that needs to be done.  We also have some family counselling to do while he's there.....which is great because I think it will help my girls clear the air with him too, and hopefully make life better for all of us when he comes home.
