Update:

Last night was pretty good. I got home after going to the gym and she had made dinner. We finished eating and then I cleaned up the kitchen.

W wanted to take the kids out to get some gifts for birthday parties they are going to this weekend.

She complained she was tired and didn't really want to take D2 with her because it will slow them down (I agree it does). I agreed that she could stay home with me but of course D2 wanted to go with her sisters.

I felt kind of good making my W have to deal with that. I know she has no issues normally taking the kids out on her own, but I really want her to think about the fact that once she leaves I won't always be there to help her out. I don't think this should be a huge factor for her, just something that might help to convince her to try and work on us.

She hasn't asked about going to MC, so I am going to hold off and book after she gets back from her trip at the beginning of March.

She works tonight, so I'll be home with the girls. I'll continue to be strong and only talk if she engages.

I'm starting to feel ok with the sitch no matter what happens. Not sure if this is just an emotional high, and the next low is just another "barb" from her away? Anyways, I'll enjoy it while it lasts.
