WAS seeing reality?

My trip with D7 to Kings Island went very well. On one of the rides there is a camera that takes your picture as you go by on the roller coaster. When you get off the ride you can go look at your picture and buy it if you like it. I paid for it and had it mailed to our house. My wife looked at it today for a little while and said "cute".
When it got to be 8 o'clock I texted to wife that I would bring D7 back the next day because we would be late. She called immediately after. She asked if we were having a good time and I told her about all the great fun we were having. She sounded very happy to hear about it.
I planned to buy a funnel cake before we left the park to give to my wife when we got back. She LOVES funnel cake. The next day we were all back at the house and I had forgotten that the funnel cake was in the refrigerator. She opened the fridge to get some dinner and let out a loud gasp! It is hard to type the sound of the gasp so use your imagination. This is something that my wife does when she is really suprised. I have not heard this sound from her in atleast 6 months! I said,"I am glad that the funnel cake got the proper response!" in a friendly tone. I didnt want to scare her off by being too happy about her happiness She offered me some of it too. It seems like she offers me sweets more often than offering me dinner. She knows I have a big sweet tooth.


Things seem to be going well. Wife has not brought up divorce talk. She could have mentioned the court date but has not. When I am around her now it feels more comfortable for both of us. We even had a couple brief instances of touch while handing our 2 year old back and forth. While my wife was holding our daughter I put my hand on D2's back to say goodnight and my hand was on my wifes hand. She did not squirm or seem uncomfortable. Probably reading too much into that.


Last night when my wife got home from work she looked tired. She said she had a migraine headache. I said,"let me help you" but she continued to make dinner on her own. I played with the kids. While they were eating I started to wash the dishes. She said not to but I playfully said,"watch me." When I was half way done she said,"you really dont have to do that." I said,"I know, I WANT to do it." I told her to go to bed and I would make sure the kids got to bed. She was falling asleep on the couch already. I put D7 in bed at 9 o'clock. I had not eaten since 12pm but I did not care. It felt great to take care of my wife and show unconditional love to her. I peeked in on her before I left and she was lying in bed listening to her ipod and reading a book. Today she was talkative on the phone. When I got home with the kids I decided to pull back some and left earlier than usual. I wish we could have some time together without the kids. Any tips on getting alone time without it looking like a date?
