Being married is hard work...

For all those married or unmarried bloggers out there. Marriage is hard work. It is hard work if you want to have something special and good. Lately I have been put to the test with my husband's new part time gig. It takes some of the time we used to spend bonding away. This leaves me feeling like I have to pounce on him when I do get time, or leaves me feeling lonely.

The first month he started his new gig I found blogging. I blogged and sacrificed the general household duties, which he wasn't able to do. The second month as the household duties and fresh meals began to take their effect and slide, I stopped blogging as much and began to maintain the household while getting attention hungry and angry at my sacrifice.

This month is back in balance. This month I am realizing balance is work. I am trying to spend time that is quality and do a better job listening and doing the things to make both of us happy.

It took a lot of thinking and some fighting to get the balance back.

Thankfully I feel the scale is equal now. Marriage is hard work.

A Little Spice and Romance

So I have decided to spice it up a little for the hubby. He doesn't know this of course, but everyone needs a little extra attention now and then, and I think he does. I am not pushing back on any of his purchases because we have some wiggle room. I am wearing some sexy clothes and some of the things he has given me. I also just got him tickets to see his favorite hockey team for Friday night, and I am calling it date night. I am also paying for dinner on hockey night. Next week I am going to bake him an apple pie. I am not going to tell him before I do it either. Everyone needs a little spice, and the next couple weeks I am going to make all about him.

About self-hatred...

I am convinced that I like long drawn out torture, because I cannot stop reading and looking at all the pretty pictures on this Cupcake Blog. The cupcakes are works of art. They look so totally amazing. I cannot stop salivating as I am writing this, so I am going to be short. If you are like me you will add this blog to your roll. Please don't send me any hate mail for sharing.
