She's ready to move on

[Michael Mc C]

I sent my wife an email this afternoon - nothing R related, just a funny mail about a picture I of her over the weekend. It was a VERY nice picture...

She stopped in my office after she came back from picking up the kids and I mentioned that she had mail. She did not look please (I have a reputation for sending R related emails, something that has stopped).

An hour later, when she was doing laundry (yes, she's doing laundry again!!) she stopped back in my office and I asked if she read the mail. She said "no", looking a bit put out. I simply said "It's funny, nothing like you're probably thinking."

She hesitated and said "I'm sorry about last night. It ended up being really tough on me. I have some really good days but the bad days still come from time to time."

My guess is that once again, as I have posted before - similar to the pumpkin picking episode - that she had a really good time with me and the kids and then afterwards had conflicting feelings. It always seems to happen in the car on the way home from an outing.

I told her "That's alright. I'm sorry for not thinking before making my extra comment last night about the couch. It wasn't necessary."

She nodded in agreement to that and accepted my apology.

We have again had a great evening tonight. I made a fantastic dinner (angel hair pasta with garlic shrimp and LOTS of butter), all 5 of us have been dancing around to 'Ethel' (XM alternative rock station) and my wife and I have spent the last 3 hours just bs'ing off and on.

I am, of course really pleased that after last night the day has turned out as well as it has.

I guess that's just it. One day at a time.
