Finding Time for Each Other
I’m having a recent marital struggle that I think we can all relate to especially this time of year - finding time for one another. I’ve been busy with schoolwork, work work, Christmas shopping, and general holiday planning. He’s been busy trying to get our pipe insulated so we don’t have a giant gas bill, work, and doing the outside decorating. And now to top it all off we have one very ill kitty who is taking additional time to care for and just dealing with the general stress of the situation. When does that leave time for each other?
Between holiday parties, birthday parties, Christmas planning and everything else that’s going on, we are sort of passing strangers who have dinner together (sometimes). Last night enough of enough for the Diva household. We bundled up and went to the grand opening of a new restaurant down the street. We didn’t talk about all the things we had to get done for the future, we simply talked about our day and things that were happening in the NOW. I know there’s only 2 weeks until Christmas, but spending a couple hours together is going to change that but it certain made me feel better.
I know last night was a respite from the holiday norm. But I need to find other time to steal away together so we can actual enjoy this time of year instead of just planning to enjoy it.
