I'm not taking it the wrong way. I agree 100%. I said this to her after I found out that we could not go out because of her picking up our D. We were talking about our S homework that needs done, his science fair project, his merit badges and the stuffing of baskets that needed done on Saturday. Thats when I told her I need time to do stuff for myself. And she said you did last Sunday, this was said in jest. Thats when I said I am tired of everything being for the kids and about the kids what about us. I said I wanted to go out tonight.

She may have taken it the wrong way at first and that is why she got out of bed and went into the bathroom to get changed. I did not mean it to sound like I don't want to do stuff for or with my kids or that they are a burden to me but holy cow if we don't spend time together and learn how to enjoy each other again how are we ever going to get the intimacy back that is needed to revitalize this M. I sometimes feel like a dog chasing its tail.

After she came downstairs we were able to continue our converstation and then when she got back from shopping for stuff for the birthday party on Sunday and we were cutting up veggies and cheese that she suggested going out shopping together. I also think it is why she came to bed early. Either to appease me or she is seeing the relavence of my argument. Who knows which it is my mind reading tool is on the fritz, got one to spare?

I just want to find a happy balance between the kids, the house, my time and our time together. Right now the frist two take it all and there is almost none for the last. I have been pondering for about two weeks now on how I should broach this subject and have us work on a solution because one needs to be found.

Anyway, How was your weekend Mike. Must have beed great with having your D and all.

Tim
