A Little Epiphany - (and a newbie delurking)

[Dia]

So this morning while H was in the shower, I made coffee. I drink coffee too, so making it was as much for me as it was for him. With regard to timing, however, I wanted it to be ready and smelling great when he got out of the shower.

He noticed and said "Who produced this awesomeness?!" I told him I had and he thanked me.

I had gathered a few dishes from the counters and things and put them in the sink, intending to wash them after he went to work. While I was sitting and looking at some funny pictures with kidlet, he washed them while chatting with his dad.

When I went into the kitchen, I noticed the missing dishes. "Hey, who washed the dishes? I was going to do that." H piped up, "Oh, I did." and I thanked him. Not a whole huge praise-fest, just a simple thank you.

So then kidlet joined the fray, adding his happy little voice...

"See what happens when you get back together? Each of you does the chores the other one was planning to do."

EEEK! I *love* that kidlet noticed and called a spade a spade, but I was wincing a bit thinking that H was going to knee-jerk over that comment. Neither one of us said anything about it, and it didn't noticeably tense up the environment or anything.

H said there would be hamburgers for dinner tonight, but that due to traffic, he was going to try coming home a little later than usual to see if it shortened his drive. That could be the pure and simple truth, because I know that the 10 mile drive can take a full hour in rush hour traffic but part of me wonders if it's so he can have a phone call or IM session with the OW. I saw him texting this morning while sitting on his bed. He didn't close the door, which means he was pretty comfortable about the whole thing but yeah, part of me wonders if he was texting her. *sigh*

Patience and PMA!!!
