spend more time with my wife

Kim looked at me this morning in the kitchen and delivered an ultimatum. “OK,” she began, “tonight I have a CRHP meeting. Tommorrow we’re not sitting around all evening and reading. We’re going to work on the adoption. We got to do something together!” She’s right too – it’s so easy for us to sit down (together) and just read or watch TV or whatever. Problem there is not that it’s not “together”, but that it’s mindless and there’s no interaction. None. That’s really what sucks about it. I think of a friend of mine who lost his wife last summer to cancer. The reminder in that is, I think I’d rather spend more time doing some of the fun, mundane things (cooking together, etc) that we take for granted.
