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,...
My husband and I wage a silent battle about who works the hardest, and who's the most tired. But apart from that, we fight about who can cook the best soup. Bland versus spicy Hubby says his soup tastes the best, but I think it's more bland than Tinkiewinkie without his red purse. So I...
Life can get busy. And sometimes you kinda get lost in the shuffle. Dance lessons to reconnect And lose sight of your husband. Which is why my hubby and I decided to take up ballroom dancing. Ever Sunday evening, for the last year and a half we go dancing. We hold each other as we...
I often tell my hubby: 'I'm very low maintenance! I don't need expensive vacations, I drool over a Big Mac and I buy my clothes second hand on eBay!' And just to make sure he gets my point I add: 'You are one lucky guy!' I'm very low maintenance! Then hubby goes all skittish on...
I like weekends. But I also don't like them. And that's weekends come with lots of chaos. During the week when everybody is at work or school, I rule my little kingdom. But during the weekend all the peasants come home to roost, and mess things up. Especially my husband, whom I love, is everywhere!
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!
