Role Reversal Of Sorts

I don’t give my hubby enough credit for all the things he does.  I should–as he does a lot of the family work these days.  Two-three days a week I leave for work usually before the kids get up.  Hubs gets them up, fed, dressed and out the door to school and daycare on time–all [...]

Hmmm…Their English Teachers Must Be Appalled

Texas has, in their haste to prevent homosexuals from bringing down civilized society, decided (in 2005) that all marriage shall be prohibited.  I know hilarious. Proposition Prop. 2 – The constitutional amendment providing that marriage in this state consists only of the union of one man and one woman and prohibiting this state or a [...]

Looking Over Our Shoulder

Things are really going well for us–aside from the mounting student loan debt (please it will soon surpass our modest mortgage in size) and the cost of private school.  If you don’t factor in those things, then by all accounts our lives are pretty perfect–oh wait, I am also an awful house keeper and I [...]

Spousal Irritation

I just want to start out by saying that I do indeed love my husband.  But he has been irritating the piss out of me lately.  Our relationship has always been pretty easy.  We don’t argue or fight much–aside from this past 3 weeks and generally enjoy each other’s company.  But lately, our marriage has [...]

Back To The Drawing Board

In terms of choosing a school for the kids.  Hubby doesn’t feel like we fit in at my choice of school and I don’t know if it has something to do with the people, his lack of desire for being social, or the financial sacrifices it would entail.  I am a bit devestated and am [...]

Wine, Wine, and More Wine

Had a great time on our little getaway.  It was everything we wanted and needed it to be.  Spent the day in Sonoma at one of my favorite wineries… We got to taste directly out of the barrel–of a wine that won’t be available for consumption until 2010 (we are buying futures of this wine–that [...]

A Conversation Outside The No Name In Sausalito

Bill:  I need one of Bluetooth headsets. Me: Why? Bill: So, I can walk around talking to myself and no one will think that I am crazy. Me:  Okay.

Double Standard

When I am sick–”It’s all in your head.” When he is sick–”I’m just trying to stay alive.  A little sympathy please.” What the fuck is that about?  I have been sick since I got home from Portland (with a severe cold) and it’s all in my head.  I slept til 8 this morning and all [...]

Aren’t I Lucky

I am currently working on rebuilding a website for my mom’s business.  I am a lame webmaster and don’t really have a lot of experience, but my hubby is a computer guy and well…I like to try new things.  I have done her website with Dreamweaver MX, FrontPage 2003 and am now using Dreamweaver CS3.  [...]

Marriage and Kids

Nothing puts strain on a marriage like adding a child to the mix(I am sure that there are other things that do, but this is my experience).  Not because one wanted kids and the other didn’t, but because each child you add takes away from time and energy one could have devoted to their spouse.  [...]
