Husbands
I have been married here 18 years, and I am discovering more and more about my husband. When we moved to the mid-west about 18 months ago, my DH wanted to semi-retire, spend more time with the kids, and spend more time with me. What came as a shock to the both of us, was that we had to get to know one another. It was as if we did not know one another at all.... as we thought we did. It was a real struggle at first. Well, one of my husbands biggest complaints is..... he does not get enough ME time. We spend time running errands here and there, but he complains about getting more one on one datting time. So when we do go off and have our alone time, we get 8 million calls from the children. I am sure that that number is almost true.  So his alone time is now taking up with annoying phone calls from the children asking where the penut butter is, or do I know where the checker game is that was packed from a move 6 months ago, to how many glasses of tea can I have, to, is Hannah alergic to red legos? The bottome line is, I have mismanaged my time, to where I don't have the quality organized time with our children and with quality time with my hubby. I guess, I had not really understood how important it is for husbands to have the same undisturbed quality time with their honey just as much as the children need quality time with their mommy. And they (husbands) need more wife and husband time more often then a once a week date. So I am putting forth the effort to balance my time better and to be there for all who needs me. It is a real blessing to be needed and loved so much. I am blessed.

.......leave your cell phone turned off and have them call a neighbor instead! Or, tell them to call only if there's a fire......or if they want to be dipped in hot oil later......

Blessings,

Long time no see!! I'm blogging again, and I just love your post.

I just wanted to tell you that you are indeed blessed to have a husband who wants to spend time with you. That has been a painful issue in my life for 15 years. ~Karen
