Marriage

Marriage is simple.  Husband gets paid and the wife goes shopping.  To bad she never buys anything for herself.  Got Quinn winter cloths and some food for a family dinner this week.  Already got Quinn his birthday gift.  He is turning one on Wendsday, I can't believe it,  time goes by so quick.

Myself

I realized that when people comment my parenting it makes me feel inadequate. It is not uncommon for mothers to feel this way.  I believe this is a good thing.  It is because I want the best for my kids and I want to be the best mom for them.  So thank you for reminding me to be the best I can when you make me feel guiltly about not all ways acheiving my 100% for my kids.  Because, your reminding me I can do better than I am doing now.

I got Quinn a necklace.  Before your thinking why is she letting a boy wear a necklace I will tell you.  He got a baltic amber teething necklace.  They are not for chewing on but for wearing.  They are suppose to have natural oils that go into the skin to help pain..  After 3 weeks on little sleep cause he wakes up two hours last night was like heaven.  He sleep from 9-5 and then nursed and went back to sleep.  Thank you necklace.

Marriage

Patience, patience, patience!  A marriage is not about changing the one you have wed.  It's about learning to identify the things that you become irritable about and overcoming them through changing how you react to the situation. So if your spouse doesn't clean up after themself dont expect them to change unless your willing to learning how to use positive reinforcement to alter their behavior or learn to do it yourself.   Remember, you cant change someone else but you do have the control to change how you react.

Marriage

I know I have said it before so listen up.  In a marriage you each need your own free time.  Today my husband took some of his own.  He went for a motocycle ride through Yellowstone National Park with his friend Shane.  I went and got a hair cut and style.  He promised me a date when he returned.  He hasn't returned yet and it is time to put the baby down for bed.  Oh wait I hear him pulling in now.  Good bye I might get a small date still.

Children

Kids are entertaining.  My six year old was getting annoyed with his little brother who is alll most 1 years old the other day.  I told him he needed to share and that he would be sharing with people the rest of his life.  He got angry and stabbed the toys together.  I asked his why he was mad and he said,  "IT IS GOING TO BE HARD TO SHARE FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE."  I said no it wont you'll learn how and it becomes easier.  He didn't argue with me but got on the floor and started playing with his brother again.

Marriage

Marriage should never be about "If I give you something, then you give me that".  My husband and I joke about this all the time.  Last night he asked for some help and I said yes but if I do that then I need a back rub.  And we laugh "You give,  I give".  A happy marriage comes by allways giving to your spouse without wanting something in return.  If you both are thinking about each others needs you will all ways be giving and receiving without expecting a favor in return.
