Every now and then after I have put the kids to bed, I put on a little smooth jazz and chill and ponder the stuff that’s going on in my life and in the world. Here are some random thoughts…

On Marriage
Marriage is a really tough thing. I guess that comes from bringing two individuals with their own ideas and histories together. You have kids, their needs, your needs, and the stuff you want. You have to keep that in balance and stuff. Not to mention that some days, you just want to run off somewhere and breathe and have quiet. It is a real juggling act sometimes. I can’t believe I have been at this for almost ten years. It’s definitely been eventful…

Fall is here
Man, the mornings have been COLD where I live. I am about to have to go shopping for thermal underwear and electric blankets or something… My hubby and I are looking out for fuel efficient ways to heat the house this winter. This is one of those times when a second floor that holds heat is not necessarily a bad thing. At least our utility people set their prices before the ‘cane so we won’t see a dramatic rise in gas prices this winter. I’m looking at a heat pump or a wood fireplace (or two) for next winter though.

Workout Time

I am in the process of getting my fitness thing together. Ms. Diva lost 31 pounds (and counting) My mom lost around 46 pounds. I can’t be going places in the coming seasons with EVERYBODY makin a sister look bad, so I’m really stepping up my walking and exercise…

    Diva,

    Melette,

    Glory,
    Marriage is a beautiful thing. I have enjoyed this journey that I have been on. I have grown in ways I never expected. It isn’t peaches and cream all the time, that’s all. Most things that are worthwhile aren’t easy, though.

    I still would NEVER give up my house.
