Still struggling to detach and even had a comment yesterday I was "smothering" her, although I think she meant it literally as it was when I went to hug her on her way to bed.
Had a pretty nice day yesterday. Kid's soccer tournament in weather that was way too cold for this time of year. Only downside was she was on her kindle whole way back reading her new "bad-boy" book.
Yesterday afternoon we sat at the island in the kitchen and she surprised me by suggesting we each have a beer. She has become a fitness fanatic and this felt like the old times. Talked a lot about what has been going on lately. This is tough for me because I am doing my best to validate, but she talks constantly about us moving back to Milwaukee. It is a big positive it is about us, but she keeps talking about all these details, but leaves out the impact on the kids and the fact that my job is here and not portable. So, how do you validate without pointing out the huge things like this? I am not always good at that.
