I had a strange revelation last night. Maybe that's it. My W has been sick/stressed from work all week. I was getting a little needy about wanting to spend time, but I did the good thing and told her to go to bed early. I took care of the kids and let her sleep in a little this morning. (She thanked me with a hug and a kiss)
So I have a lot of free time in the evenings. I was running on the treadmill and a thought came to me. What would I be doing if none of the last had never happened? It occurred to me, I'd be doing the EXACT same thing. Letting my W rest, taking care of the kids, then taking care of me. I'm sure a smile crept on my face and I felt a sense of peace.
