I enjoyed my day today (Saturday), and things went pretty much as planned for the most part. I spent most of the day with my son, out in the yard, took him to a parade, and played in the house with him. I stayed out of my wife's hair, but was pleasant when I was around her.
While my son was napping she ran out to the store to pick a few things up. When she came home she brought the bags in, and she told me that there was more stuff in the car. And then she excitedly said, "oh yeah I forgot that when I was away last weekend I bought a king size comforter". This was kind of a big deal. You see currently we sleep in a queen size bed, but we have separate blankets because we are both blanket hogs, plus our dog sleeps in the bed. We have been talking for a long time about getting a king size comforter so that we can both sleep under it together, to be close. We had been shopping for one several times but had yet to find one that we liked that was in our price range. So why now I thought to myself? You tell me you want to separate but then you go and do this? Made me wonder exactly where was her head at? But I said nothing, I just said wow that's great, and headed out to do more yard work.
I came back in about an hour later. I was exhausted. I lay on the couch for a few and was watching tv, and she came over and gave me a hug. I hugged her back of course.
She had been pleasant for most of the day. Later on, around 6 o'clock I told her I was thinking of going out to one of my friends houses to watch the fight. She seemed upset. She said I wish you would have told me this earlier! Whatever! You know what, that's fine!! I'm going out tomorrow night anyways so yeah, you go ahead and do your thing!
Before I left I helped give my son a bath and get him to bed. Then I made dinner for us and we ate together, side by side. While we were eating I saw out of the corner of my eye that she was looking at me, for a few moments too, almost examining me. So I looked at her, right in the eyes, and I said I love you. The minute that I said it I wished that I hadn't. But she kept looking right at me and she said I love you too.
After dinner I cleaned up and left. On my way out the door she asked me when I would be home, and then she told me to be good.
