New, thanks for the post! those are great ideas. it's so hard just putting them to practice, you know? I had mentioned about 4 months ago, for us to have mom and dad time, just with one kid, and my H said okay, but it still hasn't happened yet. I need to be more proactive! if that's the right word.

My H actually coaches our s4 soccer team, our first practice was tonight, and then he's asst coaching and ref'ing our s10's flag football. it's really amazing, as I just emailed baby that there is NO way he would have done this pre-sitch, and that why I know that everyone has the ability to change!

So, I know we just need to buckle down and do something!

On my learning to love other things...this was something that I kinda felt our contribution to our R was off. I became involved with HIS friends, his love for sports, his music, his food wants, a lot of HIS stuff, but I really can't think of anything he has become involved with MY stuff. he doesn't go to church, even when I get to sing, last time said he would the next time, but this time it just happened to fall on his day to draft for fantasy football (I didn't get upset, and I understood- it sucked though) he would never step foot at a musical. hmmmm. what else do I do. guess maybe I don't do much, but that's how I've felt in the past. I used to let it really bother me and I was bitter, but I've really let that go, and I will always try not to fall into that trap of allowing myself to think that it is up to him to make me happy.

Sooooo, didn't mean to go off on THAT tangent. ;\)
