For my birthday one year, my husband decided to act out of character by putting thought and action into a gift more than one day prior to the event. He was brimming with excitement and was literally counting down to the big reveal. I was excited, too. My husband’s anxious smiles and glimmering looks while [...]

Recession Hair Part II
Posted by lovemedaily on May 4th, 2010
I wrote before about saving money on my hair, but it’s been three months since that grand adventure. My dead ends have started to take over and I began hearing hissing whispers of turning onlookers into stone. I can’t afford to go to my regular guy, so I subjected myself to a new place and [...]
The Perfect Wedding
Posted by lovemedaily on April 27th, 2010
Despite my oft complaint, I actually love my husband. In fact, I’ve come to learn that it is in my ability to lovingly complain about him that my feelings for him have deepened. It’s in much the same way my son can wipe his snot on my cheek and I am able smile back at [...]
Family Photography
Posted by lovemedaily on April 16th, 2010
There is a family photographer that exists within the combined gene pools of my husband and I. It’s me. I love cataloging our lives through digital still frames, and I accept the consequences of floating around like a fly in everyone’s ear, buzzing with the sound of each frozen moment. However, it has come to [...]
Yeah! Mama’s taking the night off!
Posted by lovemedaily on April 1st, 2010
You see how I’m still “mama” even on my time off? Can someone shove my husband’s face in that?
The baby no longer nurses throughout the night so Jack and Coke with a side of icing it is. I’m much more of a wine drinker, but my husband’s grubby hands repeatedly found my stash throughout my [...]
I cause all the bad.
Posted by lovemedaily on March 26th, 2010
My daughter drew a picture of a scary story. A baby, who was pushed by a witch, was falling from a tree as his sister was waiting on the ground to catch him. Thank you, nursery rhymes. After telling me the story, she named the characters with a delighted little smile on her face. [...]
Morning Fix
Posted by lovemedaily on March 2nd, 2010
This morning started as normal mornings do. The kids woke up unnecessarily early and played around me until I woke up. I got the girl ready for school and sent her out of the door with her father, homework and lunch in tote. I was harmlessly putting something away when I caught a glimpse of [...]
Tags: Recession? You can tell by looking at me.
Posted by lovemedaily on February 23rd, 2010
Two years ago at this time, we were getting ready to spend the summer in Paris. Now, my husband is suggesting that we sell everything we have and move back to Florida. Although his personality is dire, our lives are not. Still, we are making strides to cut corners.
Today, it was my hair. Holy Moly, it was [...]
The effects of stress
Posted by lovemedaily on February 22nd, 2010
I’m eating. I’m eating peanut butter and chocolate chips despite that I told myself I wasn’t going to. I’m stressed. I’m stressed and I’m eating because my husband is talking yet again. Its money and moving and Bar exam expenses tonight, much the same as it’s been all day. Every time he pauses, I sigh in relief [...]
Movies that make you want to be more
Posted by lovemedaily on February 21st, 2010
Since first watching the Notebook I’ve avoided it, but alas, I gave in tonight and to no surprise the fear of flooding my apartment with tears is making me regret that my children cannot swim. And where is my husband in all this mess? Where is the hero who would save us all from watery deaths?! He’s [...]
