Brag or bust?

My hunny has been especially thoughtful, considerate, and downright willing to help lately.
I hope that first sentence didn't seem like a back-handed compliment.

I think for the majority of our married life things have engulfed us. We have felt like life had a strangle-hold on us. Unplanned expenses. Babies. Money - or the lack of it. Swamped by work schedule, pressure at work. General selfishness on both of our parts.

I have noticed a definite mellowing lately - A "Let's just help each other out" attitude.
I have been really trying to do little things to make his days easier and to let him know I care about his world outside our home.

He has been offering to bring me drinks.
He made me an omelet today for lunch.
He mowed the lawn on Tuesday.
He *without being asked to do so* took out the trash.
He sometimes gets up in the morning just to spend time with us and help out while we are getting ready for school.
He has been coming to our bedroom every night to tuck me in and kiss me goodnight. (I go to bed earlier than him because I wake up earlier than him on most days.)

These may not seem like giant, life-altering things - but adding them up over the course of a week or so really marks a positive change for us.

I feel like I am part of a winning team or something.
It's amazing how so little effort goes such a very long way when you feel you are in a place of unity.

I will take the little victories over the big ones for now.
Alas, our bathtub runneth over with his unhung laundry...
