I would love to have Angie/Garry days. I should say weekends since that is the only time I am off. We definitely need date nights/weekends. We do not have that and we need our own time without the kids. I love you! @Homemom3 I totally get what you are saying. I am so on that page. Thanks for dropping a comment. I love new faces and glad to have you here! @Garry

New baby on board, money always being stretched out, a major change in careers (for both of us) etc... Aside from all that, I do think I could do better as a home dad. If this is the role that I am taking, then I think there are things I could do better with. But, also I am very new at this too... and summer vacation with the kids home from school has been real stressful. It's always loud, Savannah and Garry are constantly at each other's throats, Jaymie is extremely high maintenance now... and by the time you get home, I am just drained... I now know why you were always drained when I came home from work. All in all though... of my 30 years living here on Earth, I can't name a single thing that I have ever quit. I never quit, I am not a quitter... that is a word that doesn't register with me. 8 years is awesome... and I look forward to putting a 5 in front of that 8... I think it would be helpful is you and I could have an Angie and Garry day/afternoon.. no kids. A weekly afternoon to where we can go and have lunch, watch a movie, or go to Dunbar Cave and feed the ducks, etc... @ Eliza That's cool that you finally made it to my wife's blog... I was wondering when you two would meet. :) @ Angie,

That’s cool that you finally made it to my wife’s blog… I was wondering when you two would meet. :)

We just celebrated 11 years this past June. Congratulations on reaching #8! Yes, I think it takes a lot of work, even more understanding. For me, the happy thing in marriage is where we are in the relationship. We've come to that meeting point, where we already know what it is the other wants, we can talk about anything and everything under the moon and we don't have to be together 24/7. But I have moments where I too feel like a failure, just two years ago I hit that spot pretty hard. I'm not that mom/wife I want to .... or should I say, dream of being. Ya know the one that cooks the gourmet meals and has them done by the time the hubby gets home, the house isn't spotless (try it with four kids underfoot, not easy), and I don't look like one of the super rich moms with the pretty hair, makeup and everything done just right. I realize now that I'm not supermom/superwife and once I did that I felt better, but there are still moments where it creeps up on me and you can tell when I'm in that mood and blogging. Sorry I know this is more of a blog entry than a comment but ya hit a spot on this EARLY morning. Oh and I agree, romance goes dead, lol. I'm glad you said it here too. If you ever read my posts ya may have seen me write <a href="http://homemom3.blogspot.com/2007/07/mommy-woman-or-mommymommy-woman.html" rel="nofollow">Mommy-Women or Mommy=mommy-woman</a>.
