Parenting: Buy Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons ~ most of my advice on my WFMW tip request pointed me in that direction, so we’re going to give it a whirl.

Marriage: This week I need to work on thinking before speaking. I say this because lately I’ve been working a lot and the little things that normally wouldn’t bother me are completely bothering me… so, instead of saying some rude little snotty comment I’m going to just stop and take some deep breaths and then hopefully I won’t be so snotty (can you believe I’m actually admitting that I can be snotty?? Who knew?!?!) when addressing the situation.

Household: Work in the current Flylady zone and do ALL missions from Kelly and find a housekeeper to come and deep clean once a week

Work: Get through entire box of stuff that was sent to me

Faith: Read through the lesson that I missed at Relief Society on Sunday since I was a loser and didn’t attend church (horrible of me!)

Self: Drink at least 5 glasses of water/day, finish reading Wednesday Letters, and do at least 20 minutes of exercise

Got Purpose?

A friend of mine and I were talking today and she was saying that she saw a bumper sticker that said “Got Purpose?” If you really think about those 2 words they really are amazing. You can’t really be happy unless you have purpose. I know my purpose. My purpose is to be the best mom I can be to my kids. To be the best wife I can be to my husband. And to live my life according to the gospel. That’s my purpose, and since I know that and strive to do my best at these things I’m happy.

My Grandparents

My Grandparents met and 1 week later they got married. They’ve been married for 49 years. I went up and spent some time with them today and they are some real kick in the ass people. It was my Grandma’s birthday and I was sitting in her rocking chair rocking Ella and there was this little card (the size and texture of a playing card) and it had a poem on it. I don’t know the entire poem, but here are a few lines in it that really stick out:

You are my lover, you are my friend, I can talk to you for hours, you make me laugh every day. Carry this card with you always and you carry my heart.

UM, Can we say Holy Romantic??? My Grandpa put that in my Grandma’s b/day card. They inspire me. 49 years of pure love. They tell me it’s hard, but you just gotta stick with it!

If I was to give anybody marriage advice I think it would: You’re going to fall in and out of love. But when you are at a point that you don’t feel like you’re in love anymore, hang in there, because when you fall in love all over again it’s going to be the best feeling ever! My Grandparents stuck through it all and I hope that I have a marriage like they do in 45 more years.

Please comment and tell me your best marriage advice if you have some. I love to hear what works for other couples.

It’s Love

There’s something about laying on my husband’s chest and breathing in his breath taking scent. It is of course a Sean John smell ~ Unforgivable I believe it’s called…. but that on him grabs my soul and twists it all up. I really love my husband. Even though we have our days, where everything that comes out of his mouth is like nails scraping dreadfully down the chalk board….yes, I can hate him as much as I love him and that’s marriage. But at the end of a horrible day where we’re not on the same page in any way – he’ll look at me and smile and then before he walks out the door to go to work he leans down and kisses me. I breathe in his delicious scent and it all melts away. Nobody can make me as mad or happy in the way he can, and that’s how I know I love him. We were made for each other – and we make beautiful babies, so that proves even more we were made for each other.
