the Questions Mothers Ask

My mom called the other day, "What are you doing for your anniversary?"
"I don't know yet," I replied. "It would be great for F and I do just have a vacation for ourselves."

We haven't had a for ourselves vacation in 14 years! Wow has it been that long?

Anyway, in September we will be married for 30 years. It doesn't seem like it has been that long. And I actually don't know where the time has gone. We have accomplished many things in these 30 years, but what is the most amazing is the fact that we get along really well.

I was talking with a classmate of mine. She is the same age as my oldest daughter. Marriage is tough when you're in your twenties...so much want, and not wanting to miss anything, and children, they dont make it easier. It takes five years to learn to live with someone, but you weather in time, or so I think. Less expectation, more realization. More and different love, respect is number one.

So my mom asked. And so now I , we are thinking. But I just want to get through the next 12 weeks, and then I'll really think about it.

I busted Mom's chops for pestering you about it so early in the year. She gets her mind set on one thing sometimes, and there is no persuading her to do something else... don't let her railroad you into doing something you don't want to do. I know that's happened before -- and she doesn't realize that's what she's doing -- but still. Take the time for yourselves!
