I completely get what you're saying about feeling like W is impinging on your papa space, not appreciating your ability to make choices about the girls. From a mama's POV, I bet she's feeling a bit insecure, since you've always done more with the kids than she has. I may be wrong, but there's something similar going on with me and H, and I recognize that I'm feeling anxious about it.
If I were you I might have replied with, "Oh, we're going to have a great time Sunday." And, of course, you know there's lots you can do to help the girls enjoy football. It doesn't have to be, "Sugar, go get daddy another brewsky, wouldja?" and "Not now, honey, daddy's watching the game."

That sounds like breast-beating. How about thinking what you're going to know 7 or 18 months from now? Heck, you'll be a regular yogi.
The house limbo has got to be hard. Keeping out of each other's way sounds good.
And, Heim, you've told her often enough now that you're not angry. Just shut up and act not angry now, okay?
