"Dad"
Brian and I have decided to have another little one. A new person. A child. A baby. Who will it be? I sense this new person hovering around my edges, all ready to be born. This is my youngest’s second full year of school all day. Last year he was in all-day kindergarten, which was [...]
The man I live with taught me to drive. It started when we became friends. I was 22 with a kindegartner and a new baby, going to school and working off and on. My sister watched my baby for me and my daughter was in half-day kindergarten. After I dropped her off I would take [...]
The man I live with is very intense. He is present in all that he does and takes my attention when we are together. When we are together I feel our edges blend. At times this frightens me so I withdraw to nurture my identity. For this reason he is the pursuer in this relationship. [...]
The man I live with has pale skin that does not tan well. At the first sign of spring he walks around topless, his skin pale as the belly of some deep underwater fish. His absence of color makes him look anemic sometimes. When I trace his green veins traveling acoss his body, he says, [...]
The man I live with says ‘hey baby’ when he sees me. He likes a tongue kiss as soon as he gets home from work and he likes to squeeze my bottom. Once he lightly tapped my bum when hugging me goodbye when my parents were visiting, my dad pretended not to notice. I was [...]
The man I live with has hot, hot skin. He feels like a heating pad. In the winter this is very nice. I love to slip under the covers and melt into his skin, it’s like we have our own private hothouse under the heavy winter blankets. I am never cold when I am with [...]
Happy Father’s Day to my Father, who was and is the best dad I could have wished for. I love you, daddy! Happy Father’s Day to my Husband, who is a devoted, loyal, loving, and encouraging father. I love you, sweetie!
One of the things that Brian does that grates on my nerves is he likes to wake me up in the morning when he’s feeling amorous. This really, really bothers me. I have chronic insomnia. I do not sleep well. Once asleep, it’s touch and go if I stay asleep for more than 4 hours [...]
I was reading over at Hip Mama about a poster having trouble with her husband’s mother. Just after I finished writing my two cents on the subject, my friend Amy called to bitch about her mother-in-law. Then I called my friend Diane E. to see if she can come to my graduation party, and she [...]
Man, Valentine’s Day was great!!! We had so much fun, it was crazy. I’ll not discuss what we did, it’s personal, dont’cha know, but suffice it to say that this was the best Valentine’s Day we have had in YEARS. I think the only V-day that was better than this was our very first one, [...]
Brian has been so tender lately, so sweet to me. Before I got married, almost everyone who was married gave me the same advice…they told me that marriage is a series of highs and lows. The lows nearly wipe me out. But the highs…it’s scary and exhilerating all at the same time. It’s like riding [...]
I’ll be 32 next month. I met Brian when I was 22. Going on 10 years of knowing this man, 8 years of being together, next May marks our 5th year wedding anniversary, and I’m just now realizing how little (and how much!) I know about him. We got into a nasty fight a few [...]
So Brian and I have been communicating better, which is saying a lot. We have vastly different communication styles. I come from a family where people are very direct and will say any and everything to your face. My family members are also very open with their feelings. Brian comes from a family where direct [...]
One of the biggest causes of problems in our marriage is that we quit ‘dating’ each other. When we first started dating and even when we were just friends we spent a lot of time going out, hanging out with friends, going to parties, etc. Well, not a lot of time because of the kids, [...]
Guess I spoke too soon. We have decided to stay together, work things out. He loves me, and I love him. We have a family to think about as well. Neither of us wants to break up without really trying for our relationship. Maybe it will all work out? Maybe we’ll be ok?
So I’ve survived our first split holidays. The first holiday split I should say. No longer our anything. Thanksgiving was harder on me than Christmas, for some reason I thought it would be the other way around. On Thanksgiving I took the kids to my people’s dinner first, then the plan was I’d drive them [...]
My dad came to town today. I knew he was coming in and needed to be picked up at the Greyhound station this morning, around 8am. He called at 7:20, luckily Iyende was up. For once I was asleep but managed to wake up enough to talk to him. He said he knew I was [...]
Watching fathers at the park up the street from my house is funny as hell. They are always so self-conscious and awkward with their children. I find this really surprising because on average, they are or were married to the mothers and have been involved with these children all of their lives. When I lived [...]
I am trying very hard not to let Brian get on my nerves but I swear he does stuff just to get to me. Today he was telling Iyende something about taking a message if So-and-So called. Well, she is on punishment and cannot use the phone for a week, why would she answer it?? [...]
