I am up early this morning and my W is still in bed. No talking last night in bed other that good night and my saying "sweet dreams". I think I should stop the "sweet dreams" (2x4 if I don't?).
My wife cooked pizza last night and her and my son had a little bit of wine. I don't drink and my daughter teased my son that he had wine breath. My wife was helping my daughter with a scholarship application before and I think for a short time after dinner. I helped my son transfer two albums to MP3s. My wife spent most of the evening sitting on the couch playing on the computer. She did say she will be glad when the person she took over for returns. At times all of us were sitting in the room with her. My kids had packed their laptops and I think they wanted to do something altogether. But we just talked a little with my wife commenting once in a while. I had to go to my laptop in the other room to change album sides.
My kids decided to go watch a DVD in another room. I spent some time in this forum. My W went up to bed without saying good night. I gave her some time and then went up and brushed my teeth. I asked her what book she was reading and then went back downstairs to do the dishes.
Then I said good night to the kids and went up stairs to go to sleep.
I think I missed a chance to jump in and do something with our kids. I was amazed that my wife did not spend time with them if that was indeed the last time our family is going to be together.
I think she thinks they are old enough that a D will not affect them.
I wanted to save this quote from AmyC in S2's first thread.

How devastating for their grandchildren, whose parents have to explain that Grandma and Grandpa stayed together all until they were grown but "then they got a divorce so now we'll have to juggle and go to two places for Christmas and two places every Easter and hey, your birthday parties might be awkward for a few years, too, but what the hell, nothing lasts forever! Sorry kids."
