I Learn Something New Every Day
If there is one thing that I have learned in the almost 7 years that I've been married it's that I know very little about being married.Every day I learn something new about marriage and my husband and how to make things work.Our first year of marriage was hard work. Every year since then has been hard work but it has been worth it.There are days that we argue.There are days when we can't stop laughing with one another.There are days when we don't even see each other.There are days when my husband supports me.There are days when I support my husband.Today was one of those days.My hus

My initial urge, after phone calls were made and prescriptions dropped off and kids settled was to sit down and write about everything that went on yesterday afternoon.I'm 24 hours into this now and I feel like I've gained a bit more perspective but not much. And now, maybe, I can write about it in a better way.Yesterday I took my almost five year old son to see a specialist. He had to have his eczema re-evaluated and we needed to find a new course of treatment to try and help his skin and allergies.
