having a bad day

Hi All,

My day has not been the greatest – last night I watched the movie aliens ans went to bed at midnight cause I had been up since 330 am (went on a fishing tournement with my father in law) I was hopeing to sleep in this morning but my cats woke me up cause they were chasing each other up and down the hall and they kept rattling the safty gate my wife and I have to keep the kids from going into the kithcen and living room – I got up and let the cats go out and tried to go back to bed but I couldn’t sleep so I got up and took a shower while the kids watched tv quietly in their room and I went out and made the kids some breakfast .

alittle later I cuddled with the kids and watched a movie and we played for awhile and then they went and did their own thing so I got online and went to pogo to see if my friend was on , he was and I called him to see if he wanted to play a game , he said he did and started talking about this game he was playing  – I told him that I could not play the game cause I am not a reg member of pogo and asked if he wanted to play somthing we both could play .

he said yes but kept talking about the game he was playing and acted like he didn’t want to stop playing so I took the hint and told him I would talk to him later .

it bugged me because he has been asking me to get on pogo so we could play a game and when I did I felt like it was a waste of time .

I got offline cause I was feeling down and I started thinking about how my wife and I used to get out and do stuff like fishing , going for walks on the boredwalk(nature area in town) ,taking the kids to get ice cream ang going to a fountain in town to let the kids run around , or going to Battlecreek and going shopping just to get out of the house .

we still go out once in awhile but not as much as we used to – mostly we just sit around the house watch tv and play computer – we try to talk but it is hard for me to find things to say .

recently my wife made the comment to me that she feels like we are not as close as we used to be and how she missed us being close and how she would like us to be close as we once were – I feel like we have drifted apart and I also miss the closness we once had and want to get as close as we once were.

we both have been thinking about things we can do to get our closness back and we recently have been playing games online which is fun and my wife has talked about us going camping as a family to get closer together .

it is a good start and I am hopeing that we can keep doing stuff to bring back the closness between us cause I really love her and I do not want us to drift apart!!
