Conversations
While on a bike ride together…
me: I am so loving this!
Bill: Loving what?
me: This being together stuff.
Bill: Oh
me: So, is this like, more important to me than you?
Bill: What do you mean? How would I gauge that?
me: Well, okay, then I will re-phrase…How important to you is it that we get to spend so much time together now?
Bill: Awesome important.

I get a call from work today asking if I could come in and work the ER tonight. After telling them yes out of pure guilt, I spend the rest of the day anticipating a Friday night in the ER….
me: What are you looking at with that grin on your face?
Bill: You.
me: Why am I so funny.
Bill: Just because. It is funny watching you in this mode.
me: What mode is that?
Bill: Watching you agonize over going into work for one night. You work yourself up into a worry frenzy, like a wounded, dying snake coiling around and around itself ( said with hand motions imitating a dying snake rolling and writhing).
Sounds like conversations that take place in our house!!
Doesn’t it feel amazing to have him know and understand you as well as you know yourself?
You two are absolutely on the right track. Having “just the two of you” time makes for a strong family foundation for your beautiful children (and for you as well!)
hugs!!
