Wife surprised me with a "Dad's Day Off" last Saturday and I'm still recovering

She took the kids to her parents' house for the afternoon and I just... existed. Watched two full movies without pausing. Made a sandwich that I actually got to eat while it was still hot. Took a nap. Didn't have to answer "dad where's my..." a single time.

I know this sounds small but man, I didn't realize how much I needed that. Going to try to do this once a month with her now. Anyone else find that these little breaks actually make you a better parent?
