My 1st Post

Today is my first post, who will read it, don't know, but I've kept a blog for my master's program and have enjoyed it, so I thought I would do one for just my thoughts.



It is bone chilling cold outside and I've been trying to keep my kids busy with coloring and such since I don't want to take them out in this weather. I can't wait for spring to arrive and feel the cool crisp breeze on my face. The other day I took the kids out after we got some snow, my little man grab some snow and put it in his mouth. I looked at him and laughed when he said..."COLD." I put the kids in their little sled and just ran around the front yard with them. I think they enjoyed it.

Hubby and I are doing great, I don't think there has been a better time in our marriage. I've come to the realization as simple as this may seem that I am indeed a wife first and a mother second. I love my children endlessly and I don't know if it is something that new mothers get sucked into or what, but there were times when I completely focused my attention on my children that sometimes I overlooked the needs of my hubby. This caused many fights and dissagreements, but I think at last we've reached a point where if we do argue, it is civil.
So now I make more of an effort to pour on the affection, a kiss at the door, dinner ready as he comes home. He goes to work everyday so I can stay home with our kids and I need to show him appreciation, not resentment. So I email him to tell him how much I love him and need him.
I was surprised at how those little acts changed the dynamic in our relationship into a more loving and fun relationship and all because I forgot that I was a wife first.
And I got the sweetest email from him yesterday.....it simply said, "I am very happy babe. I am perfectly content with you, the kids, and life. I really can’t remember the last time we got along so well. Thought you should know. LU"
