I am feeling a little guilty...

I live fairly far from my closest friends and family (3 states away).  Lately I have been extremely homesick and complaining a lot about where we live and missing everyone.  I was told when we moved down here that it would only be for 2-4 years.  We are coming up on the 5 year mark with no end in sight (who knew the economy would collapse).  I have a tendency to take all of this out on my husband who I know is under a lot of stress at work.  I need a better outlet but I also need him to realize how much I don't want our children raised where we currently are.  Just venting a little so I will not vent to him.  Point being, its not always the men that are a pain in the ass.

Happy Mother's Day to me

So my husband has a hard time buying me gifts.  I have to nudge a lot to make sure that I get what I want (and /or need).  So for Mother's Day I got a pair of shoes that I bought two weeks ago.  Now if I had known that these shoes were going to be my gift, I would have gone for the more expensive pair.  Now that I have hit the day of me, so to speak, it is a little sad that I have had nothing to open.  I know, I know I sound like my 7 year old but something else would have been nice.  Not a gift but flowers or something.   Anyway, Happy Mother's Day to everyone and to me as well.  I will wear my shoes with pride and know that I have excellent taste...
