Sounds like you had a pleasant day with the kids. Good job and the bike doesn't sound that bad either. Fixing it up will give you something to do and focus on...both very good things.
You were looking for examples...though mine is very twisted, my wife has only used the "D" word 2-3 times during the entire situation. The posts are spread about, but you should be able to find them. In my situation I focused on self, kids, and my business. Tried to get focus off her and let her do her thing as much as possible.
