My Other Half

I want to switch gears in this post. For most of the post in this blog I write about how much I love my little girl and how much I want her to learn and know and what I want to teach her as she grows up. But this time I am going to talk about my husband, yes my husband. Before I married him I asked myself "Is this someone I can live the rest of my life with? Someone I will enjoy waking up next to every morning? Is he somebody that no matter what he says or does he will always be the one I want beside me? Is this someone that I can grow old with." I did not ask myself "Is this someone that I want to have children with?" What I think so many people don't understand is that children grow up and yes they leave home eventually it may be marriage, or it may be college, it may even be the military, but the fact remains they do grow up and leave home. Your spouse does not. They are there (or they are suppose to be there) for the rest of your life. Today so many people see marriage not as forever. The marriage vows are "Till death do up part" If you say you've been married several years is almost unheard of. I think it is wrong for a couple to get married just because of the children, or try to hold the marriage together by having a child. I'm not going to say that it never works, but I will say 99% of the time it does not work. I love my little girl with all my heart but I understand that one day she will leave, that is what I and my husband am preparing her for. I only hope we prepare her enough. When she does leave and start a life of her own I will have my husband with me and that is just the way I feel that it should be.

A sweet child

My little girl is such a swwet child. Today I was cooking dinner and she wanted to help so bad I could not help but let her. I hope the things that I teach her will stay with her for the rest of her life. I am trying to teach her all that I know which compared to many people is not a lot but I am trying. I just hope she becomes a well rounded adult when the time comes. I love my little girl and I want nothing but the best for her.

Mom's day off

Today My Mother-in-Law gave me the day off. I think part of it is that she wanted to spend the day with her one and only grandchild. I love that little girl of mine but sometimes I could use a day off ans this is the first day I've had away from her since she was born. To he brutally honest I haven't done much. I've been enjoying the quiet time I've had. I do miss her, but I know she is in good hands. Te one thing I wanted to do today is plant some bulbs. I bought them the other day on eBay and I got them in the mail yesterday. I am so looking forward to them sprouting and then blooming. I have several amaryllis plants that I started from seeds. It is suppose to take 5 years before they bloom, but I am prepared to wait. The one thing I have absolutely no idea what color that they will be. I am assuming that they will be red. Since they are seeds from what is normally a bulb plant the color could be anything. I am so looking forward to it. Who knows if they do well I might just start a business selling flowers I really do like watching them grow.
