He...

I always seem to write on a Sunday. It's been a telling, and revealing weekend.

I think; He and I have rediscovered one another.

I love him dearly. He has made new changes, started new endeavors, and so far so good.

how can you measure love after almost 10 years? I don't know.

 If I had to venture a  guess: it would be He.

He loves me like no other, and has shown it to me like no other.

He changes, and improves, and surprises.

And it is wonderful.

He has made things better, not only for himself, but for us.

He strives not only for himself, but for us.

A tribute to He, whom I love more deeply than I could ever express.

Love your wife.

New Year, New Hours, Old Priorities

A year ago I started to work full time. I did it for a variety of reasons; money, mostly.

Here's something I discovered. I lost my balance. 

I had my ideal balance when I worked part-time.

I was gone in the morning, and I was home by 1 or 2 with time to nap, work in the garden and make dinner.

 In 2012 I had no balance. I was gone all day at work. I barely saw my daughter, barely had time to spend with her let alone my husband, and  I didn't have time for myself, if I did get some free time I had to take it from some where. So I missed work, missed time with my daughter or my husband. Not an easy choice.

 Being the 9-5 mom didn't work for me, or my family. It just didn't. 

More to the point the extra money was nice, but I really missed spending time in the garden, spending time teaching my daughter new things, and spending time with my husband. 

 My New Years Resolution is:  work part-time, plant a garden again, spend more time with my family, and to find my balance. Good-bye 9-5 mom and hello 9-2 mom.
