My wife and I took our son to the next major town today to do some school shopping. I felt awkward for much of the day as she seemed agitated this morning and there wasn't a lot of conversation between us. Truth be told, I think she could have done what she had to today without me there but I appreciate the family time anyway. On the way home it was quiet again until the final stretch home when we notice smoke from a major fire about 50km from our home. That turned into a discussion about the 'Wonders of the World' which lead to bucket lists and then theories about the planets. It started out quite disjointed but became quite entertaining towards the end. I'm really out of practice at socialising with my wife. Really out of practice.
On the bright side, I learned some new things about my wife, we achieved what we set out to do today and my son seemed to enjoy some time with us without his sisters around. My wife has four more days off work which I'm a bit apprehensive about as we'll be spending a LOT of time together at home. It's too hot to do anything outside except go to the town pool so we'll be indoors a fair bit... cabin fever really. I'll have to try and come up with some activities on the fly so we'll see how we go.
