Last night was a good night. Picked up the kids - both had GREAT days at school and were excited to tell me all about it on the car ride home. S6 won a "character award"
Wife wasn't holding my comments against me and we interacted like normal, although I did see her face change to sadness as she glanced through some birthday cards I had gotten. Not sure what that was about.... I made dinner while she talked to her Mom on the phone (they talk every day), although this time she went into our bedroom while they talked. Lately she has made a point of staying in the room with me so I can listen in to what she is saying (she's more open with her mom than with me).
I went upstairs to change out of my work clothes and tell her that dinner was ready I accidentally walked in as she was getting dressed. Good thing is that now I'm more awkward when that happens than she is (no more diving behind the bed for her, but I still avert my eyes and apologize). Without prompting she let me know she left the room so she could tell her mom what the kids wanted for xmas. Catalogs were on the bed so I suppose it was true, but it's interesting that she felt the need to tell me. Maybe she's sensing my concern? Meh, not that it matters....
Oh, and when I was holding my youngest son he grabbed my W and forced us all to hug (try and tell me he doesn't know what's up...). And my wife kissed me on the lips again. At some point I reminded my wife that she hadn't finished the homework assignment I'd given her - to tell me how I could help her get a new job. Her reply (somewhat exasperatedly) was that all she needed was time. I told her that could happen.
Weird, but generally a good evening. Now that the emotional roller coaster has made it up the hill I'm now waiting for the bottom to drop out. We'll see what tomorrow brings, lol
