My youngest daughter drew a picture of me and my husband. We're standing hand in hand, and between our heads there's a floating balloon. I was pleasantly surprised. Obviously, we make quite a loving, and harmonious couple!
But then she said: 'That was before you had us, mummy!'
Now that the dust of Summer Vacation has fínally settled, I took some time to look around me and perhaps smell some roses. And the first thing I saw, was hubby. He looked kind of dusty and neglected, so I decided to do some work on our relationship. Considering both my mom and Dr. Laura,...
I found the perfect present for my hubby: Bonny Becker's children's book: The Sniffles for Bear (Bear and Mouse). It's like giving him a self-portrait! I'm so terribly ill Because whenever hubby gets sick, he acts like Bear. Whining and acting like he's on death's door. And just like Bear, he doesn't really wánt to...
I can hardly believe it. I've been married for 25 years already! The secret to a happy marriage You know what? I don't know the secret to a happy marriage. But along the way I've learned some things. Like Rod MdKuen sang: 'I've been going a long time now along the way I've learned some...
I like old fashioned courtsey in a man. I love it when they open a door for me, or lift their hat to greet me. A woman likes to feel appreciated and treasured. But if that's too much to ask, and something tells me it is, then I would like at least a man who...
Did you know that after Summer Vacation divorce rates rise? I'm not surprised. No matter how much you love your so called better half, it can be quite challenging to be around each 24/7. Yesterday my husband started his vacation. It's been one day. And already I feel like screaming. Annoying husband Let me give...
It was early morning. I was in the shower enjoying some quiet time. Feeling the warm water cascading down my body, cherishing the feeling of being alone. No one else around. Then suddenly I heard that telltale sound of a door opening, followed by an icy cold swish of air. Then: 'Hiiiiiii honey. Are you...
Awww, sounds like a lovely photo. Don't be saddened by her comment, martial relationships change as children come along. The love is strong, dutiful and romantic but not as young love. I believe children know can see love and know it, in all its forms :0)
I agree that relationships change but it still can be strong and romantic if we work at it.
At least the two of you are still the topics of her artwork. Not only that, but when she thinks of you, the fist image which comes to mind is a pleasant one. Whenever my wife and I go out for an evening (ummm...right in 2009), we are very straightforward about telling the kids we need some time not being parents. A popcorn and a movie seems to cure them of heartsickness pretty quickly:)
Thanks Kenny. That's a lovely way of looking at it.
Kids are so funny! Wonder what her picture would like if she drew you now? Hehehe
That sounds ominous Becky Jane. Now you've got me worried!
