Not sure where to start, or end. WAW?

Today hasn't been too exciting really. W couldn't sleep last night (because she napped from 5:30pm - 800pm) and was up late in bed reading, so she slept till noon today. I got up around 9 and played with S4, then went out and mowed the lawn. Something occured to me when I went out to mow.

In the past, I never would have gotten up and taken the initiative to mow the lawn this early. I see that I'm changing into the man I want to be. And, it's not just the lawn, it's everything. Keeping the house clean, taking care of S4. Stuff like that.

Additionally, I thought about telling W last night that I was going to get up early and mow the lawn. In the past, I would have done that to get some "brownie points" or something to seek her approval and expect to hear something like, "That's a great idea." Sometimes I'd do it. Sometimes I wouldn't. I'm not speaking about just the lawn here, I'm talking about a lot of things I said I would do but never did.

So instead of saying, I took action. I just got up and mowed it and said nothing about it. Later, I asked her if she slept well, and she said yes. She noticed the lawn had been cut, and said, "Wow, you got up early and mowed the lawn? Thankyou - that was nice."

I replied, "Just doing my job."

We all went to the museum today and spent a few hours there. But before we went I had to return some of her clothes that didn't fit at the store and she was with me, so we decided to shop. I hate the store that these clothes came from, so I told her she should just by bras and underwear. We went to the section, I picked a few things out for her, and she was picking out underwear asking for my "opinion" as she picked up a few lacy provacative pieces. I just told her, "Yep, those are nice." It was a unique semi-sexual moment that we haven't had in a while.
