Round 2
Let’s keep it real for a second, shall we? Babies are
amazing. Little glowing, fresh-faced cherubs of wonder who bring joy to all who
cross their paths. Know what else they bring? Stress. Pre-babe, the Hubs and I
rarely had cause to argue. I mean, what to eat on a Friday night was seriously
a top 2 contender. And then came baby. Suddenly tongues are a little sharper,
tones are a little higher and patience is a little thinner. I’m just sayin’.
While most of the time I don’t remember what our bouts are about, I do know
that I usually (okay all the time) regret things I’ve said. Just like I hope my
little one doesn’t wake up at 4 am again tomorrow, I also hope that during our
next “match” I remember that Hubs and I are in the same boat. The same
sleepless, weighted down, single-ore vessel that tends to retain water and
definitely needs a fresh coat of paint. It may not be pretty, and it may take
us a while to get to our destination, but the bottom line is there’s nobody I’d
rather be traveling with. Life jacket or not.
In other news, this is a great post I’m thinking of laminating and hanging up in my bathroom – 15 tips for staying married for 15 years. Gems
include, “don’t criticize,” “get really good at sex” and “make a husband pact
with your friends.” Yup.
