Married Ladies Random Thoughts

Why did this man say, "Sorry....I ain't sorry!"

He's been secretly loving that Beyoncé song all month. He asked me if I had told ya'll yet about him singing "I ain't sorry" all the time. Lol.

One of the many reasons why I love this man of mine...

I think we need a VACA like immediately. Has been a rough 6 months. Well really over a yr, but having a baby (15mos now) would come with its own stresses.

Got into car accident in early Feb (car t-boned, car totaled), FIL passed a few weeks later. Son has been sick what seems like every month on the clock since starting daycare and my hip still hasn't healed since accident. So has been mentally and physically trying to say the least for all of us. Getting better though thankfully. There's an end in sight now.

So, my question is does it make sense to go on a big trip in like a month by dropping off son with my parents (we are in TX parents in NC) and then flying to wherever we want to vaca? im not so much worried about son staying with parents for a few days (he'll be alright), as I am with the tiredness we might feel coming from a refreshing vaca and then having to pick up son in NC and fly back home. Just feel like I'll be tired all over again. I just don't see any other way for us to get away? Help?!

Maybe you could schedule an extra night in NC when you land so you have time to rest before leaving NC with your son and go back home
So sorry about everything else, that's a lot to go through

Thanks. May have to take that extra day so we can recoup before heading home.
 
DH and I were in a car accident on Saturday, and guess what happened .............he stopped talking to me for TWO days! I wasn't sure what was happening - the accident was the other driver's fault but he seemed to have an attitude with me. At first, I was pissed at the fool that ran into the back of us on the highway, then I got pissed at DH for his one-word responses all weekend.

So, he finally confessed that he shut down when he realized how serious we could have been hurt......again none of this was in his control but I guess he felt responsible for our safety. Everything cool now but this just proves how different our communication styles are!

Sounds like my DH. Glad you guys were okay!
 
My wedding photographer is sooo awesome! We got married in the DR last October and are going back next weekend for my friend's wedding. I reached out to her and let her know i was coming back, so i set up a secret boudior shoot while I am down there to give to my hubby for our 1 yr anniversary.

Hubby also brought up the idea of taking more pics with her again while we were down together and she agreed. She is doing both shoots for the low low, like the real low low. I haven't even printed any of our wedding pics or trash/rock the dress pics. Our home is going to be full of professional pics and I love it. lol

I already told her when its time for maternity pics we will be flying back to DR to take them with her. lol
 
@Taleah2009 I thought about doing a boudoir shoot for my DH for our first anniversary and didn't get around to it. That's awesome that you're doing one, I bet it will be fun!

Our three year anniversary is next month and I have no idea what I'm getting him. Between Father's Day this weekend, his birthday the week after and our anniversary in July, I'm dreading having to figure out so many presents so close together for the rest of my life LOL.

It's good that you've already worked with the photographer, that will definitely help. I know one of the places I looked at here offered champagne before the shoot to help loosen you up, LOL!
 
I think I need to get my DH more clothes. He has a work training today and we were trying to find him something business casual and his options were not great. Besides Men's Wearhouse and Brooks Brothers, what are good clothing stores for men?

DH is tall (6"5) so can't go everywhere since they don't always have his size. Gets a lot of work shirts from Banana Republic. Banana always has 40% off sales (especially on Wednesdays online).

Oh, didn't even think of them! I remember my DH saying he liked their clothes a while back. He seriously needs to step his wardrobe up, lol. Thanks!

I asked my assistant principal where does he find his clothes cuz he's about DH's size and he told me banana republic. I always assumed their clothes ran small! Ima check them out!
 
@PrissiSippi I haven't come by much material about this but I would also welcome book suggestions! The way I've always thought about it (even though we're newlyweds, we've been together for 5 years) is that a helpmeet should fill in the cracks.

Of course, there's a reciprocity there, since in modern times, I might be involved in as much professionally and academically as my husband. But if I am weak in an area where my partner is strong, it is his responsibility to either take over that area of our life, help me become stronger in that area or push me to address the weakness, and vice versa.

IMO, because of me, my partner's life should improve and be easier. Our bond should be such that I am the friend and confidant with whom he shares inescurities and problems so that we can address them together, in our home. We should present a united, cohesive front.

And I think a lot of it for me is knowing my partner, sometimes better than he knows himself. Before he even realizes something he needs or wants, I've pointed it out or just gone ahead and created multiple plans to present to him. (Kinda like the modern, updated version of 'Have dinner, slippers and newspaper waiting on him when he gets home', because he treats me in the same or an analogous manner as I treat him, but since I'm more emotionally intelligent, I'm more adept at anticipating certain needs, while his practical nature makes him better at anticipating certain needs of mine.)

Lastly, we're Christian, and working to build a Christian relationship and now marriage has really given us a blueprint of the way communication and trust is supposed to function in our relationship. A quote from a very enlightening sermon by a guest minister one Sunday works well here, I think: "Play your position, for it benefits the team" with a main scripture of Luke 10.

In our relationship, the above is how I function as DH's helpmeet.
