Spring Break-Day 1.
Well, it is 8:30a and I'm awake and listening to the cars speed down the road, the WET road. The only nice day this week will be Tuesday, and possibly Friday...haven't heard about the weekend yet.
I suppose that being my blog and all I should give an update, or at least fill everyone (including myself in a few years) in on my life....Besides, I really don't have much else to do right now...
My husband and I went through a growth spurt of sorts and are now, happier and closer than when we first became married. Our best friends got to 'share' in this, only because I called B all the time and told her everything,...yeah, she's the best friend a chick could have. Anyway......from what I've heard every married couple goes through this stage. And let me just tell everyone out there that reads my blog, has only been married 5yrs or less....It gets MUCH better. But gawd damn is it ever work. I have honestly figured out why most marriages fail after about 3-8 years....I can't go into it here, you'd be reading all day! But, I will say this..both parties have GOT to work, HARD. But it is worth it, every last painful thing that you have to work through, is SO worth it.
Now, with that being said........My DH lost his wedding band, about 3 years ago. We've just never replaced it. I lost mine about 4 years ago and it has never been replaced. So, we both look like the GenX couple with kids but who will NEVER marry. Well, nothing against those GenX couples, but I want it to be KNOWN that I'm married! So, DH is on a mission to get me a ring, present it to me in a memorable fashion (I'm talking Oscar winning idea here, folks..the poor man has a BIG job ahead of him) and make the ring, AWESOME!!! He's been stressing for WEEKS!
So, what did I do? Why I snuck out and went to the jewelers and picked out a GEORGEOUS wedding band for him and was going to surprise him, long story short I had to tell him to make a decision and so he knows he's getting a ring. What he doesn't know is that I didn't get the ring he wanted, I got something better, and I had it engraved, so the ring will have more meaning. And, he doesn't know how I'm going to give it to him (it's simple, nothing like what he's suppose to do for me), or when he's getting it...I'm picking it up today, I hope. So, since he MIGHT read this blog, I can't tell you my plans, but I will tell you after they are executed
Well, I have more laundry than a prision and a house to clean, and I don't get inmates to help me, gawddamnit..so I have to wake up, make coffee and get the kids situated and then start on my day. Have a great week everyone! Tell me how your Monday is going or how your weekend went!!
*I am sitting in bed in the dark, no coffee, and I'm on a laptop, I apologize for typos, or grammatical errors...hell I apologize for this whole post...I am not fully awake yet, hell this might be the best post I've had in ages!!

I agree that it takes a lot of work. It's been a looooong 4 1/2 years! I wanna see a pic of the ring once you give it him!
yes marriage is work.
My husband lost his wedding band three years ago playing volleyball in the pool. We searched for a long time but could not find it. I bought him another and he never wears it. Recently I stopped wearing my band and engagement ring. It is rare that I put it on. Maybe I should.
Hope you guys have a wonderful evening.
yup, work work work *and I fucking hate work, that's what makes it so hard* we've only been at this a little over 2 years, and we're not even married yet! its all good, we keep on working and keep on pluggin away. wishing you a wonderful evening
