I have missed you....

Well long time no write. 
I can tell you that a lot of things have gone on in my life. I have learned a lot about me, my family and most of all I have learned, I truly can not do anything. 
When I started out blogging my purpose was to at least help one person. Just one. However that is. With a smile, with a tear or just helping one woman know that she has never been alone. 
I have been married for 6 years. The most time I have spend with my husband was between June 07 to the last part of 08. About a year and a half. Of almost 6 years. This makes for hard times on a marriage. 
Before I got pregnant with Munchkin I was in a rut to try to figure the little man out. I was not sure what was wrong but I knew I had a sweetheart of a boy. I knew he had little quirks.  I was in a rut for myself. I was in pain and sad because I was diagnosed with PCOS and felt like I was doomed. 
I am not always the nicest wife. I have 3 kids a lone daily. While this is no excuse to be an out right bitch, it is my reason to be stressed.  
I am hoping the things I have learned about myself and my marriage I can share with you so maybe you do not do them as well. I know it is hard for a stay at home mom to get on her own road of whatever is easiest and not merge off the path. 
Honestly, I believe that is what happened in my marriage. My husband and I got used to doing whatever was easiest and that was not dealing with each other. We both had selfish bits. We both did instant gratification for what worked for us, and only us. Not what would be GOOD for US. Us as in him and I. 
Hopefully things have been taken off the wrong road and put back on the right track. 
I have no paid attention to my Reader, I have not been on Twitter and I have not blogged. I have paid attention to my husband. It is a wonderful thing. I missed him. I missed us. 
Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. The wonderful emails I received were amazing.

In the words of the Prince...

I'm okay! 

We have been pretty busy in our house. Along with trying to get things better with my husband I have kept my busy schedule and dealt with another underway. (Civilian words, hubby left again. For a week.) All while trying to reconnect with my husband, good times! Honestly, It is not. I am emotionally drained and I have put a stop to my life pretty much. 

When all is said and done I will be more then happy to blog about whatever may happen in our house. As for now, I would like to respect my husbands wishes and not air our dirty laundry ;) 


Thank you to my readers and Twitter friends for understanding. It means a lot. 

XoXo, Jennifer

Quotable Thursday

I have chosen to post about marriage. Not because mine has issues or because it is perfect. Just because!

Enjoy




All married couples should learn the art of battle as they should learn the art of making love. Good battle is objective and honest - never vicious or cruel. Good battle is healthy and constructive, and brings to a marriage the principle of equal partnership.
Ann Landers



I used to believe that marriage would diminish me, reduce my options. That you had to be someone less to live with someone else when, of course, you have to be someone more.
Candice Bergen


A great marriage is not when the 'perfect couple' comes together. It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.
Dave Meurer


Marriage. It's like a cultural hand-rail. It links folks to the past and guides them to the future.
Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider

What is right for one couple is wrong for another. I would say that there are many more important factors to a happy marriage.
Elizabeth Aston


A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.
Mignon McLaughlin


A good marriage is one which allows for change and growth in the individuals and in the way they express their love.
Pearl Buck


I love being married. It's so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life.
