Gotta love the subconscious, don't ya? That was perfect.
Your story about the shirts reminds me of something H always teases me about. Whenever we used to go to the video store, I would habitually pick up a box, read it with interest and then say to H..."Hey how about this? It has actors X, Y and Z. Do you think we might like seeing it?" H would always nod with excitement and say, "Well, yeah, I am sure you would. You liked it the FIRST time we saw it!" Ugh.
Your description of entering into the domestic setting with DD's and Mr W hanging out with homework and Sponge Bob, sounded so relaxed and easy. I could actually feel the release that your decision has brought. Or, maybe I am just good at imagining it.
