Last night I wasn't too inspirational to myself, wife did not see it though. Unfortunately the kids kind of got the brunt of it. W is a lot more forthcoming with her activities, so I try very hard to trust her. I still feel like the chair in the corner sometimes, pulled out and used when needed, but not really taken care of or cherished.
It kind of makes me sad how things such as activities together and family life seem to take back row. Instead of it being the first thought it's more like the, "of yeah, I guess we better do something like that". When my kids look back, I hope they have a better view of this time than I do. I really don't know what else to do, just ride it out and enjoy the words of love from my kids.
