It’s not a secret. Sometimes marriage sucks. Men and women just don’t think alike. Maybe that’s why John Gray has made millions. How can you love somebody and yet detest them with every fiber of your being. How does that happen when 15 years ago you couldn’t wait to spend an evening hanging out with them?

I love to get my fry on. Sure, I try to feed my family healthy foods. We have a garden that provides us with many of our vegetables; plus strawberries, grapes and apples grow in the yard. We don’t eat out all that often, but enough that my youngest knows to say “mmm” when he sees the Golden Arches or any given fast food joint. I watch Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution and rejoice that our children’s private school serves primarily “homemade” foods.

It has been a hard transition from SAHM to working only part time mom. Now that I spend my morning hours at work, I find it harder to do certain things. Grocery shopping? Ha!

We have had an ongoing mice problem in the garage. It wasn’t really an issue for me. I kept the bird seed in a metal trashcan. There, no big deal! I have always had cats in the house, and sometimes outdoors cats. Needless to say, the mice do not come inside.

I will always champion the single parents and military spouses. I really do not think I am made of the material they are to handle the enormous task of parenting on my own. While my own situation is not ideal, with my husband working second shift and every weekend, we have managed to strike up some bargains that make it seem a bit more equitable, playing on the other’s likes and dislikes.
