Ways To Say I love You.

With Valentine's Day over for another year, I thought it would be a good time to bring out some ideas for the men in our lives to say I love you. For some reason, it seems like guys just don't like saying it. So here are some ways to show us how you feel.

1.     "Look Honey! I brought home take out! I even remembered to bring paper plates so there won't be     dishes to do afterward!"

2.     "I cleaned the litter box and took out the garbage."

3.     "Why don't you go get a pedicure and relax, I'll take care of the kids."

4.     " Here's a glass of wine for you."

5.     "You look stressed out, let me rub your shoulders."

6.     "Let's just curl up on the sofa and listen to music."

7.     "Did you get your hair done? It looks amazing."


So there you go. Try these guys. You might be surprised.     

Why is it...

Why is it:



That when you need a hug, no one is around?

That when you're exhausted, there's no way you can take a nap?

That when you absolutely do not have time to be sick, you end up in a room full of sick people?

That when you are at the end of your rope, the stress keeps piling up?

That when you sleep wrong and put a kink in your neck, there is no one to work out the knot?

That my jerk ex has someone, while I am alone?

That my zoloft seems to be less effective, right when I really need it to work harder?

Sorry, Just needed to vent. We now return to your regularly scheduled blog..........*static*............

It's been a while since I've written anything. So I thought today would be a good time to give everyone an update on what's been going on with us. It's been an interesting couple of weeks to say the least.

In the career department, I am officially a customer care representative for a furniture store. This should work out well. When I worked for the pet store, I found myself bringing home every gimpy animal in the store. I don't see myself adopting a herd of sofas. Though I do spend time looking longingly at a gorgeous chair that would look amazing in my living room. First things first though, I need to paint the living room, and get new carpet. So any furniture buying is on hold for now. As for the job itself, I enjoy it. Really, you can't ask for more than that.

As far as dating, I'm good. I'm not going to lie, I'm lonely as hell. However I know what I want and I am not willing to settle. Though finding out that my ex-husband is planning on moving in with his new girlfriend set me back a notch. I had this moment of "How the hell does that jerk get to have someone and be happy, while I go to bed alone every night with my dogs?" But it is what it is. I know the right person is out there. Patience may be a virtue, but it is not my strongest asset. I keep telling myself that I am a strong capable woman, and I don't need anyone. But when you really want a hug from someone who isn't one of your children, it makes it hard. I really would like a partner, someone to spend time with. However, I can't shake the feeling that when it comes right down to it, men are all basically the same.

As far as the family goes, we made the decision to put my mother in a nursing home. A girl that I work with was talking about how strong I was, and that it was amazing that I can talk about it without breaking down. I pointed out that it's not like this was a snap decision. Mom has been going downhill fast for a very long time. I have grieved. I have cried. I still have moments where it hits me so hard that it feels like I took a lead pipe to the chest. But I have to be the adult now, and while it sucks, I don't really have much of a choice. We can't go on the way we have been and this is really the best decision for everyone.
 
So with that, dear readers I wrap up my update. Hope you are all doing well and holding out hope for an early spring.
