JM! Where R U? Have babies? Doing okay? Hook me up with the 411, please. H is going to post soon, he says, but it's been difficult for him. You can see why in some of my blog posts (http://instepford.blogspot.com)
We had a crappy argument last night, and I got defensive, yelled, and was generally my pissy old self. Go me (ugh). But we hammered it out (as I called him back from my cell phone from work going up the stairs to the hospital to clock in last night). I just couldn't leave it crappy for the whole night. and apologized b/c I'm so FREAKING FRUSTRATED. (the Action Plan as Roadkill being one - 1 out of 5 done - and him being dissatisfied with me, but not giving me MEASURABLE THINGS to do to make him feel better, etc.). I told him he's have to give me something more than needing to be 'accepted as a person on a basic level' - WTF, man, obviously I need more direction, and it feels like he keeps changing the hoops he wants me to jump through. Told him all that, and he promised to think about WTH that would look like to him, so I'm not living on VagueWorld. I made my goals for him measurable in order for me to feel better, and I need him to do the same.
That's the news from Chez Stepford for today - we did get our Christmas photos made today. For the last several years it's always just the kids because H has been traveling the last 3 months of the year. This year he was here and we took our first family photo in 3-4 years. I hope it looks good. It felt a little funny, but I hope it is a beautiful pic to give us hope.
Headed to McDonald's (ugh) to reward the kids for good behavior for the pictures and for cleaning their rooms today. I swear when my kids are grown I will never darken the doorstep of McD's again, that nasty minion of satan.
Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Is 43:18-19
If it seems slow in coming, wait. It's on its way. It will come right on time. Hab 2:3
