Let’s talk about sex

I have finally cooled down enough from last night to write my original post. I think Shawn is trying to get in touch with Kim Kardashian’s people to see if her engagement ring is for sale as an apology present. Speaking of husbands and marriage & that whole kit & caboodle. Let’s talk about sex. [...]

What do you do when you want to stab your husband in the leg with your overgrown toenail?

Inspiration struck me this afternoon for a post while in the grocery store with my husband trying to figure out dinner-which was super delicious in theory but turned into a mushy mess. Ugh. But I just had a huge fight with my husband & right now I am steaming mad. Like steaming & I can’t [...]

How Do You Apologize?

via What I want to talk about today boys & girls is the art of apologizing…especially the fine art of apologizing in a marriage. When it comes to apologizing to my husband I don’t come to it very easily. And it is incredibly fair to say that Shawn apologizes first almost always &/or apologizes only [...]

Rules For Husbands Episode 1

With marriage on my mind

Love born out of fire, tried against the grain. Waiting on the moon. Finding a groove & loosing it. Chasing cars, chasing pavements & chasing papers. When I was sad, you craddled. That time you were sad & I waited. Like that time we made magic. Like that time we made him. Like that time [...]

Missing

The master bedroom, silent with only the faint hum of the mini fan. Do you remember that fan? The fan that once sat high atop the laundry basket breathing fresh air into a dying computer vent? Do they remember that laundry basket that sat in that apartment? The apartment filled to the brim with broken [...]

When a marriage goes bad

I’m married. Obviously because I have a mommy blog & you can’t be a mommy without being married. Gosh. So I think about being married almost, well, constantly. It’s never far from my mind or my emotions. In my marriage we go through a lot. I’m not even going to lie & pretend that we [...]
