Sunday kind of chat

Do you think things happen for a reason? sometimes i do. I cant give specifics, but I think think sometimes this is true. Sometimes, I see things or read things that put my current life into perspective. It makes me appreciate how my life is currently going. It doesn't always go so great. After 24 years, we get bored with each other, and sometimes I think we really hate each other. Lately though, things seem to be really happy.by lately I mean in the last six months or so. I don't know why this happens, but I am happy when it does. Everything gets better, I really mean everything too.  Recently we spent some time with Johns brothers and sister. Not that they are in such bad situations, cus they aren't. But they still have to deal with their grown children and their issues. We do too, but our grown children live out of state and it isn't in our face so much. I guess we have grown into childless parents, and now we are having fun again. I am liking it.

Another question. Are routines always so bad. Do you have any routines you follow that you love or you hate. there is the get up and go to work routine, the buy the same thing every time you go grocery shopping routine, and the always incredibly painful pay all the bills routine. We have a routine that I absolutely love and hope never ends. On the weekends, one of us gets up, makes coffee and comes back to bed until it finishes brewing. After its done, we fill the carafe and bring two cups into the room and watch good morning sacramento until we decide to get up, or until ten when it is over. On sunday, we watch in bed for a while, then get up and make breakfast. We always have a bottle of almond champagne with breakfast, and that kinda makes the morning celebration a little better. it is our special time, and we love it. I may be the only one thinking of it that way, but it works for me.

One more thought. Now keep in mind, I am on my third glass of almond champagne. If you read another blog, does it get your mind thinking in different directions that you don't normally think in. One person in particular has this effect on me. Believe it or not, I am not one to reveal a whole lot here as far as personal feelings go. If you happen to think you are reading something deep about me here, it is just the tip, I only go so far in print. the Divine one has the ability to get my brain going in many different directions. Sometimes she writes about stuff I cant even talk about. I wish I could do that. This is not something bad, not by any means. I bet she doesn't even know it, but I have grown in personal strength at times just by what she decided to write about. Thanks Em. Just thought I should finally say something.

Ok, I think I am done for a while. OH WAIT! One more thing. I have checked every setting I can think of on my comments blog. I messed up my page on edits then had to figure out how to get it back to where I liked it, but I have no idea what the heck happened to my current comments on my page. Amber said to check settings and see if I have it se for reverse order, but I don't have that option any where. If someone knows how to fix this, please tell me. I even wrote to the Multiply group for help. Lets see if that will help.

Now that is really the end of this post. See ya all later.

  1. LOL Now this was one of those blogs that got my mind in directions ... especially since we are stuck in a particular routine with him being home so long!! This was a little different than your normal blogs, and I liked it!!

  2. Doggone it, you have me all teary eyed. You know what, Lisa - I think that it really comes down to what we each consider is "too personal" to share. Everyone has their boundaries - even me ;).

    Now, I am definitely not a relationship expert, but I believe that hate is the flip side of love - and I can't begin to imagine spending 24 years with a single person. But I bet that the occasional hate thing is universal among those who are honest enough to admit it.

    Personally I think it is much better to have strong emotions about the person you are with than to just drift along being together just because it's the easy way to go.

    I love your weekend routine. It seems to me that ages ago I blogged about being in a rut because so much of life was routines - and someone suggested that perhaps I should think of them as "rituals".

    And a ritual is sure what your special time together sounds like to me :)

  3. I love routine. It's comfortable for me. Two of my kids thrive off of routine, and one can't stand it. Funny how that goes. Guess we are all programmed differently. Hope the rest of your Sunday is a good one. :)

  4. This was different than other blogs of yours I have read...and I liked this departure from the norm. :) I must say that we have the "normal" routines, the ones you mentioned, but we also have some other ones: we like to watch a certain show together at night, after kids in bed, and just cuddle on the couch. :) And having him home all day every day is getting a bit too routine lol, but I love him and I know he is not liking it so much either right now. lol
    Again..wonderful blog!

  5. I hope multiply can help you with your comment query!!

    I am off sick from work today and just spending a moment on multiply. However, since you put so much into your blog today, I thought I should at least leave a comment!

    First....marriage has good times and bad. The good times are great and the bad times are horrible. However, those good times are what helps you through the bad and the routine of it all! I always enjoy hearing that you and Big John are having fun!

    Routines? Hell yeah! I hate routines and I will do anything possible to keep out life shaken up! Right now I am milking the fact that Chris threw up in the car and our life is anything but routine at the moment..wink..wink..nod..nod...

    I totally agree with what you said about our Devine! I think she gets us all thinking and takes us to the darks side occassionally...I love it there!
