Hmm, I can't think of the word "cruise" without thinking of the word "vodka". Alcoholic much?

My husband is struggling emotionally with our separation, and I feel awful for his pain even though I know in my heart and my mind that this is the right thing for both of us. I wish there was something I could do, something I could say to him that would help, but there isn't. :(

But, that said...

Yesterday he very nicely asked me how *I* was coping with everything, and then something happened with the kids and we never finished the convo. Fortunately for me. I can't lie to him but I would have felt awful saying the blunt truth. Fact is, I feel good. I feel relieved and at peace in myself. The kids have been really good (as good as toddlers can get!), and I think that's because I'm not stressing and therefore they're not reacting to the tension. I just feel... good.

I've been talking more to friends and family too, which is a nice change. I even had a nice, unexpected phone call the other night from a friend who I only ever talk to online. It was weird and surreal and somewhat awkward to go from text to audio, but I appreciated the care and concern. To be honest, I could have been more chatty and made it easier on him, but I was too busy quietly loling about his bumbling, nervous phone manner lol. My bad. :)

So to answer the question Luke posed, I guess I'm feeling pretty cruisey atm.

Oh, except for my hair (yep I'm shallow). I went to the hairdresser last week and for some reason she thinks "1 inch max" means "sure, cut 3 inches off, who cares!". Argh. QQ. Here's a cropped pic of the back of my head that Noah took yesterday when he was walking down the stairs (he's camera crazy).

See! Look! Its soo short! Wtb speedy hair growth!
