Not-So-Desperate HouseWife

I've been pondering about my Life's purpose for awhile now and wanted to share my thoughts with anyone who cares to know....

I've been a stay-at-home mom for all of my kids life which makes this my 16th year...

Though we don't have everything we want, we have all our needs but deep down inside I want to find something to fulfill me...to give me purpose.

For years, I've said my marriage & my kids are my ministry. They were my first & second priority, now that I see the fruits of my labor, I want to nurture my talents & gifts in other areas.

I'm both excited & leery of job hunting, finding a job then having to quit b/c my heart's not in it. I want to do it b/c I really want to, not b/c I have to which I don't. I have numerous ideas that could be profitable such as being an independent consultant & host of Private Parties, Scentsy Fragrances, &/or but not limited to Mary Kay, Avon, etc. to make some $$$!!

Also, I want to focus on ME for a change...it's time for some 'Me' time!

Oh well....I know that all things are possible & the possibilities are Limitless!

In due time.....

In the mean time, in between time.....I'm going to enjoy being a Not-so-Desperate HouseWife!

A Weekend to Remember

A Weekend to Remember

This past weekend was truly a weekend to remember, not because my Husband gave me a gift, bought me something new, or that I went on a luxurious vacation.

It's worth memorable for the rawness of what I experienced after almost 20 years of marriage. We communicated 10 things we Like about each other & what stuck with me the most, was not so much 'what' my husband listed but the time and effort he put into the activity. And did I mention ....it was his idea!!!

I know....I know....there must be something in the water but I tell you what ....I want some of it!

It was very refreshing to know what makes me so Lovable, Huggable(I know it's not a word lol) and Appealing to my man. I wasn't surprised by what he listed but I was surprised by the thought & vulnerability he expressed with each one...

See.....to know Wayne, you have to know he's not the kind of man(what man is...lol) that expresses his emotions.  He wanted this weekend to be 'our time' to be together & hang without distractions. So we limited the TV watching and computer access and just TALKED!!

Seriously...we Talked and it was Refreshing!

Sure we did other things to past time, draw closer & rest.

It's truly amazing to know where we, as a couple, have been to appreciate where we are now.
And for that reason....I'll cherish this weekend, as a time to remember.
