Today, kids were being rough in the morning, wife was trying to jolly them along as much as possible, got behind schedule, and headed out without saying goodbye.

She texted me asking me to call her after I dropped the kids off at school.

We talked about what to do for dinner/etc, about our elderly ailing dog, and about practicing our 'speech' for the kids tonight. But... it was the first time she's asked me to call in awhile. Admittedly, it is all business, but that was nice.

She also talked about having a once a week 'break' instead of going a full week between seeing the kids.

Just a status. Nothing significant about any of this, really. The grind continues to grind.
