I don’t make much, just little bits of extra income here and there. Honestly, though, it’s the little things that matter. Sure, I’d love to be able to earn enough to buy a new camera, or a new TV, or even a new car, but I don’t. The little things are great, though. My husband and I get to go out tonight and I get to pay for it. We’ve got the sitters all lined up for the boys and Andy I get to go to dinner and college hockey game. We get to have several hours to reflect on life, to be together, and to finish a thought train. You take all of those things for granted when you’re just getting started, but once you have kids, they get more and more important. So far, my marriage has stayed strong. I think it has a lot to do with our friendship above all else. Still, every conversation or parent strategy session is plagued with kids pulling on us or interrupting. The more Andy and I can take care of ourselves and our relationship, the better mom and dad we can be. I’m looking so forward to tonight. Much thanks to all the grandparents that are making it possible.
