This sure is an interesting few days. R and S and his oldest son on a road trip to PA to see S's family for her parent's 50th. I thought it would be horrible, but it's not. It's relaxing. Of course we are babysitting the grandkids when their mom is at work, and the 15 year old son is here as are a friend or two of his on and off, so it's not exactly lonely.
Plus T is easy to be with. She loves to run errands lol, I still don't know my way around all that much. She does her Avon and I do my writing. The little ones are a handful but sooo cute. I really love them, but I miss my new grandbaby. I'm nagging them to get a web cam so I can see him that would be fun.
R calls a few times a day, he is so good about keeping in touch. This is one of his traits I really appreciated when we lived apart and so many miles away from each other. He's definitely not one of those men that has a hard time communicating. S hasn't called or come to the phone to talk, which is just as well. What would we say to her? Other than are you having a nice time, I can't imagine what else. She does love to chatter though which explains the peace and quiet here in her absence. Poor J (R and T's son) and R, I can just imagine that road trip! lol...I'm not being mean honestly, I think insecure people just love to hear themselves talk.
It's amazing how patient and tolerant R is of her chatter, god bless him. My ex would have kicked her out of the car 50 miles down the road. I think the patience and ability to listen or at least try to listen is the first thing that attracted me to R. My ex would just tell me to shut up please, can't you stop talking? I swear. And then there would be no one to talk to. One of the pluses of polygamy, there is ALWAYS someone to talk to.
You know what I find strange? Before I moved here, I was obsessed with sex. I admit it. I thought about it, I talked about it, had constant polygamy sex questions for R and others lol...I rarely think about it anymore unless I focus on it. It's certainly not a problematic thing and I thought it would be.
I thought I would be raging with jealousy all of the time. I'm not. I thought I would listen at the bedroom door...um I sure as hell don't do that..I was certain that every time S smooched all over R I would scream! ok, I do cringe occasionally but not daily.
I know one thing. I think I moved here at exactly the right time for me, except for the fact that one of my children up and made me a grandmother unexpectedly soon. That is the only thing about my former life I am missing crazily. I sometimes miss my lifestyle, my good friends, i miss that damn couch I got that was like a dream haha really it was, and I miss coming home to a perfectly clean house...but that's it. Nothing horrible. No terrible homesickness at all. My home, is here where I belong. R said that, and he was right.
