spend more time with my husband

he’s in San Francisco airport. Probably sitting in the departure lounge, waiting to board the plane for the second leg of his journey. (Hopefully not climbing the walls.)

Which means that he’s just under eleven hours away from landing… and in a little over that, I’ll be seeing him! Best I go to bed now, so that I’m alert enough for the drive to Heathrow.

:-D

_{Although, it may take me a little while to get off to sleep… thanks to the spidey I had to deal with a few moments ago. Ick.}

super-duper-jumpy-up-and-down happy about this coming Wednesday!

I went through a couple of days mid-last week when I felt a little miserable. Part of it was PMS. I finally figured out that the other part was because Matty’s finally almost here, so I was ‘allowing’ myself to feel all the misery of us having been so far apart. Worked through that, thankfully.

Bring on Wednesday! :-D

Less than two weeks, and I’ll be picking Matty up from the airport.

Can’t wait, can’t wait, can’t wait!

Woo hoo! :-D

I think we both spend so much time trying to get other things done that we forget to make time for each other.
Even when we are chilling out, he goes on his 360 and I go on the internet.
Are relationship is far from in trouble but i feel if we don’t start making time for each other it will only lead to a downward spiral.
So we’ve already had a talk about it and at least one night a week, we are going to make it our night. If we’ve got the money, get someone to babysit and go out together but we can always stay in watch a dvd and have take away.

It’s hard when you have children, but I need to do this.

My hubby and I have had the pleasure of each others company for the past 8 years and have loved every minute of it. I did a bad thing and sent him a dirty txt message yesterday which i know he thouroughly enjoyed. Doing out of the ordinary things like that is what I think keeps the marriage fresh and exciting. We went to a hockey game the other night and held hands like love sick teenagers. Alot I think was due to friends of ours that were there and are just dating (so their mushy like that) and I think that my husband realizes that it is ok to be like that in public. We are not the kind to kiss or be all mushy in public. We never even kissed in front of our families until our wedding day. Keeping it fresh and exciting is my new goal.

He’s been doing really well with family outings – playing mini golf, going to the zoo, going out to eat – he used to balk at those kinds of things but I think he realizes now how important it is to the kids. Unfortunately we never go out as a couple, just the two of us. The thing is he works really, really hard to take care of all of us. He has a business and moonlights to make some extra. Well, he’s decided he wants to make more money so he has scheduled every evening at the second job. EVERY EVENING, except for Wednesday, when he keeps later hours at his office. Half the time I’m asleep before he gets home and this month I missed my class reunion because he was working that night and I didn’t want to go alone. So I’m putting my foot down and insisting on ONE NIGHT a month where we can go out together and have fun doing ADULT things that we enjoy.

He surprised us with a day trip to a little tourist town this past weekend, which was fun for the whole family.

We have been spending gobs of cuddly time in front of the TV watching the Soprano’s on DVD. We’re both really enjoying the show and the cuddling on the couch. Who could complain about hours of snuggles? :)

This weekend we’re heading to the beach with my family (minus Casey sniffles) and I’m hoping for lots of fun time with the hubby and with my family. Oh, and with Roy and Fiona too. I love having something to look forward to.

Since I got back from Chicago, we’ve been able to spend a lot of time together. He’s a teacher and he’s out of school for the summer. We’ve actually sat down at the table and eaten dinner together! Last night we started watching Season 1 of the Sopranos on DVD. This weekend we’re going to spend a day hiking and take a picnic. Yay! I love it when we do that.

These are all such small things, but they make a big difference (to me). I appreciate any time that we get to spend together.
