lucky me

i have an interesting relationship with my hubs. he will clean the crap out of the house if i leave. if i stay, then couch city. i left for a play date today at 3pm and came back at 7 - dishes done, floors mopped and get this - it is the kicker - both bathrooms were cleaned too. there is no in between - he doesn't "tidy". he only goes for it when and only we are all gone or nothing.

another interesting thing happened today - B took the day off to finally see and buy this 88 Jag he's been interested in. 2 weeks of back and forth with the seller. 2 hours after he was supposed to show up with the car he decided that god told him that he should not drive up to sf or sell us the car. we were speechless. so no car - yet. he is on a serious hunt now for a dependable 20 yr old car.

b hinted today at the fact that there has been a slight transformation in me and he likes it. the added stress of work is fading and he says i act more like the girl he married years ago. before kids! he may move us to the suburbs to make this stint last longer. what surprises me the most is that i don't feel like i am acting nicer or nagging less. i do pack his lunch now. whatever it is i am very much still enjoying myself and am grateful that i have the opportunity to do this. lucky me!
