Worried I found DB too late #2

[cw68]

Rethinking a few things from the past few days. One of my goals was to spend some time together without the kids. In my mind I was thinking of scheduled, date-like one-on-one time. That's not going to happen, H is still in "hermit mode" and not ready to "work on us" so I realized that "working on us" is going to have to kind of be sneaky.

Two Sundays ago, time alone as we went and picked up our hardwood floors and unloaded them. Romantic, no. Together, yes.

This past Sunday the kids played with neighbors and we installed all our baseboards together. Romantic, no. Together, yes.

Last night we spent about 30 minutes in the kitchen together while the kids got a rare evening computer time. He was washing dishes (his custody, I was just invited to stay for dinner with no work involved) and I sat there talking with him. Romantic, no. Together, yes.

So while it's not exactly what I had in mind with my goals, it's something. Need to create more situations like this where we are together interacting in whatever way.
