I hate catching a cold. But sometimes the germs and viruses sneak into our home like a Trojan horse. In the form of my husband for example! Keep your distance! When my husband came home from work last Friday, coughing and sniffling pathetically, I told him to keep his distance! I even did that gesture....
Whenever my kids stumble, I like to catch them, and declare in solemn tones: 'I've got you. Mommy's got you!' And I can only hope, that when they've become adults, and they trip and fall on the troublesome path that is life, I'll still be there saying: 'I've got you.' But who's got me? But...
I love romantic gardens, with lots of flowers tumbling about. And what's more romantic than a rose arch? Which is why I've been longing for a real rose arch for a long time. My husband built me an... ehm rose arch without the arch Unfortunately my husband decided he would build me one. It was...
After fifteen years of marriage, I'm still the woman of my husband's dreams. In his dreams, not a night goes by when I don't sell the house from under him, or buy new furniture without talking to him about it. Apparently I went out and bought an Aga Last night I apparently went out and...
During breakfast hubby told me in an indignant tone of voice, he'd dreamt he wanted to divorce me. Apparently, in his dream, I had abused his absence to decorate our house, with wall to wall Laura Ashley wallpaper. A grain of truth As with most dreams, there may have been a small grain of truth...

Because when I staggered into the cubby hole that is my office, my head spinning and my eyes watering, because I...
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...
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...
I'm not the mom I feel I should be.... 'Honey? I'm really suffering from a severe bout of cognitive dissonance,' I told the hubster over breakfast. He was quite busy making a sandwich that would make Garfield salivate. But he managed a: 'Huhuh.' That's his way of telling me: 'I'm listening.' I'm not the mom...
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!
