better

times have been tough. We've had lice and strep in the past 4 weeks. We've had stress and family intrusion.... Anyway, it hasn't been easy "living" with all these people I call my children and husband.


Svend and I had a fabulous talk a week or so ago. It truly was needed and helpful. It came because my oil hose burst in my car and suddenly we were faced with having to purchase a new car we can't afford... Thankfully, many prayers were answered and it was toyota's fault!
so, in that time , again, of financial stress, things came out. About selfishness, anger, frustration, family, etc. We went back 9 years in our talk. I sobbed. He spoke and told me how he really felt and why and I had a lot of chances to apologize. He did to. It was very needed and very good. And we cuddled and thought and shared all that really needed to be said. It was really hard. To get it all out-both of us. But I think we did and now we can move forward. Both on the same page. Knowing what we are both sorry about and why we were both so angry. Lots more understanding of eachother's views.


I am so grateful we talked. I am so grateful the spirit was there and could direct us. I love my husband. If I wanted to be single, I wouldn't be married. But I love being married and I log being married to him. And with that, we have to let each other in and buoy each other up and listen to each other more than outside sources.


after we talked, tally came I. She has been so hard lately and thinks we hate her. We don't. We love her so much. We had the chance to talk with her and cuddle with her and remind her how much we love her too and are so grateful she is a part of our family.
