More patience??? Really???

Thanks JKS, it gets easier but for me, it still has to be a conscious effort to make it happen. Just not natural yet.

Journal stuff:

First, let me start by saying after over a week of consistent behavior, it may very well be that W has officially moved back into our bedroom. The guest room has been closed off this entire time and I've woke up each morning over the past 7 or 8 days to find my w in bed with me. Of course, so is our d10's chihuahua, but I'll take the package deal if that's what's needed.

W's friend has still not sent her paycheck to her. This is about 3 weeks late at this point. Its making my W very frustrated and anxious. But it also has opened up opportunity for us to review our finances which is greatly needed.

W and I are working together on some decoration stuff for the house. We've decided to convert our dining room into an office. We only use it for W to do her work and the kids to do homework so it just make sense. We've tested some new colors on the wall and decided on that. So tonight we'll clean out teh room and tape off the walls for painting.

Also talked with W so that we will sell our current dining room table and use the money to buy office furniture. W has been looking for what she wants at the best price and has found sound good options.

I also have several trips coming up for work, one potential trip is to NYC. I let W know about it last night and mentioned that by that time, I should have enough flyer miles that she could join me if she liked. She's never been to NYC and really wants to go. So I am working to make it a weekend getaway for us. One challenge of our new home is childcare. We don't have family nearby to watch the kids while we get away. There is a chance my parents could come watch them. They'd love the time with them but travel isn't always easy. Regardless, I'll find a way to make it happen.
