Hey guys. My weigh in today was 142, but I think it was more at 143 and she was just trying to be nice. It's one of those scales that you have to move the weight at the top and the thing balances in the middle when it's at the right spot. Well, whenever this one girl weighs me, she always goes a little lower and the thing hits the top. I didn't think that was right. Not that I want to weigh more, but I want it to at least be accurate. Either way, I go by my scale at home. It's the only one that I know for sure is consistent.
So far today I've had...
B - Fiber One Bar
L - WW meal
Snack - about 6 Snackwell cookies. Yikes!
Red - How was your sons game?
40 - Give us more info on the Bryers.
LZ - At least you at half of everything. That's better than the entire thing.
IM - Sorry you're sick again. I was thinking of you last night when I was watching the BL. I thought for sure I could hear you screaming all the way from TN when the tears started falling.
Disney - Here's my two cents for what it's worth... Better to find out now that things may not work, than later down the road. I'm approaching my 9th anniversary and the things that bother me about my husband before are still present today. He makes an effort (sometimes) to fix things, but it's hard to break old habits. I think it's wonderful that you guys are going to go talk with someone. It's nice to have an unbiased opinion on things. Here is something that has worked for us. Over this 15 month deployment we started giving each other "marriage topics" to talk about. One week he would initiate one and then next it was me, and so on. Granted, all this was over e-mail so it was a lot easier to get things off your chest without getting into an argument. Which we still did on occasions. I would keep all of the e-mails and created a folder on my computer to save them to. We've actually gone back and read through a couple of them to refresh our memories as to what we agreed to do. For instance... My biggest grip with him is that he is SO dirty. And by that I mean he's not a cleaner. I had to stress the importance of a clean house to him over and over again. We made a list of what we considered a Level 1 cleaning (basic straightening up) and a Level 2 cleaning (drawers, closets, baseboards, etc.) and how often each had to be done. Then he listed what he liked doing, hated doing, and didn't mind doing. I did the same. Then we came up with a schedule that we both could agree on. I know it sounds silly, but if that's what it takes, so be it. Some other topics were; personal appearance, s e x , hobbies, eating healthy, leaving work at work, raising the kids, dealing with each others families... Can't remember the rest without looking at my folder. Anyway, the point was, it got us talking about all the things that we liked, didn't like, and could live with about each other. You will always have your ups and downs in any relationship. It's all about compromise on both ends. Just make sure he's willing to compromise as much as you are. Relationships are work. Some days it's a good day on the job, and others it's not. Good luck!
Are we ready for BL talk yet? Has everyone watched it yet? Let me just say, I want to be like Ali. I love her!!!
