'I had a dream,' my husband told me at breakfast. 'I was walking past a slot machine, and I happened to pull the handle. And I won a million bucks!' The dreamy look in his eyes reminded me of the time he heard there would be another season of Star Trek. Then his eyes fell...
It's a wellknown fact: after Summer Vacation divorce rates go up. Apparently it can be quite stressful to have the love of your life around you all the time. It's all very well to promise: 'for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health,' but no one said anything about...
I'm happy to report I had a happy Mother's Day, thanks to me, myself and I. I devoted precious time to lobbying for good presents, and it paid off. Then came Father's Day, and hubby had not put any effort into the promotion of himself. So the only child who offered him a present was...
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!'

Every day he studies...

And we got into this deep, and meaningful discussion about which one was the better series. Hubby felt compelled to share I had a lot more in common with Allison in Medium, than with Melinda from Ghost...
I was starving for some positive reinforcement, so against my better judgement I asked hubby: 'Please say something nice to me?' In my defense: it had been a very long day, and the kids had been awful! Hubby immediately got that familiar deer-in-the-headlight look, while I waited patiently. Minutes went by, and the silence got...
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 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...
