“Love is as much of an object as an obsession, everybody wants it everybody seeks it, but few ever achieve it, those who do, will cherish it, be lost in it, and among all, will never…never forget it.” Anonymous

Considering the fact that my husband and I just had another fight and I finally threw the “D” work out it seems ironic that this quote was on my I-Google page. I am a big believer in fate, forgiveness and forever but I must say those are some hard words to live by all the time!

I often find myself viewing my marriage through a thick dense fog. When will the air clear, I ask? When will I breathe easier and when will the sun shine again? I am so familiar with this roller coaster ride. I love the ups and hate the downs and as time goes on the creaking of the tracks gets louder and louder.

I started to write this article about a week ago and never finished it. I can tackle the house, the kids and the finances with ease but trying to figure out my marriage is another thing all together.  I seem to easily place the issue’s of my marriage into a nice neat box and only bring the box out when I absolutely have to.  I guess it’s easier for me to push it aside and focus on all the other issues in my life. But year after year of doing just that, pushing my marriage aside, it has finally caught up to both my husband and I.

When I first started mommymachelle, I had a link called “for better or worse”. My daughter, as a faithful reader of my blog asked me why I never put anything in that section. I told her I just didn’t have anything to write about at the time but the truth is I had so much to write about, it’s just an area of my life I didn’t want to focus on.  But what I want and what I need to do has now come to light and I have to start tackling these issue not just for the sake of my sanity but to the benefit of my children and my husband as well.

So with much resistant, I being a new chapter in my book of life.

As a mother I will always love, cherish and protect my children. This I can guarantee!


As a woman, I will always be opinionated, temperamental and indecisive. This I can also guarantee!


But more importantly than anything else right now – As a wife, I will learn to put my marriage and husband first, I will not forget how important love is and I will always remember that I have to cherish every moment with my husband because marriage isn’t a guarantee, its a privilege that cannot be taken for granted!

Yep as of today it is official, winter is on it’s way. It snowed here throughout the day. Snow represents two things in my life cold and Christmas and I’m not ready for either of them.  Now the cold I can somewhat deal with even though my old creaky bones ache more than ever but Christmas only creates stress for me. See I’m one of the “put off til’ the last minute” kind of gal’s and every year I regret not preparing better.  I do buy throughout the year but then I always end up giving the toys to the kids or I sell the clothes on e-Bay because it’s the right season for swimsuits somewhere on this earth.

mommy I'm ready

And of course each year after Christmas I make the resolution that I am going to purchase so much each month but I’m still working on follow through with that one! So does anybody out that have the tried and true success story for welcoming Christmas but leaving the stress behind? Let me know even though I love the last minute shopper plan of attack, I really could use a new strategy.

I don’t laugh nearly as much as I would like to. With the kids, hubby, house and bills my life seems so serious and complicated all the time. So I searched the net and found some funny little jokes because we all need a little laugh sometimes.

To the king of dumb blonde jokes, my husband, I dedicated this one to you:

Blonde GUY joke

There were two blonde guys working for the city. One would dig a hole; the other would follow behind him and fill the hole in. They worked furiously all day without rest, one guy digging a hole, the other guy filling it in again. An onlooker was amazed at their hard work, but couldn’t understand what they were doing. So he asked the hole digger, “I appreciate the effort you are putting into your work, but what’s the story? You dig a hole and your partner follows behind and fills it up again.” The hole digger wiped his brow and sighed, “Well, normally we are a three-man team, but the guy who plants the trees is sick today.”

Amie, you know you can relate to these:

Wife V/S Husband

A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word. An earlier discussion had led to an argument and neither of them wanted to concede their position. As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs, the husband asked sarcastically, “Relatives of yours?” “Yep,” the wife replied, “in-laws.”

Words

A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a day… 30,000 to a man’s 15,000. The wife replied, “The reason has to be because we have to repeat everything to men. The husband then turned to his wife and asked, “What?”
