Well my weekend was fun and relaxing..

On Saturday I met up with Sun Ray and Trelawny and we did a little shopping and bonding. I had such a great time with them. Sun and Tre we have to do it again.

On Sunday I cooked and did laundry then sat around doing nothing. I also drove my baby crazy with questions, he says im gonna go mad soon if I dont relax.

Aren't they awesome? Hopefully, I am hanging with both of them soon as well. You live in DC area?

Evening Yardies!

Congrats Portland on the new home!

Hope you feel better soon Cat.

Hubby had his first dentist appt today. They had to extract an upper molar that was in really bad shape & he'll be needing the bridge which will run about $3000! Can you believe something like that can cost so much??? I'm trying not to freak out about money since my dental plan only covers dependents for a maximum of $1000 per calendar year AND bridges are only covered at 50%. That means more than $2000 needs to come out of my pocket for one tooth! Lord help me! I don't know how people manage sometimes & I really don't know how I'll work this out but I suppose the payment plan through the dental office making $200 payments a month until it's paid off. Makes me really want to get a better job but that's a whole other monster. Oh well, I'll manage....maybe it's time to find illicit activities that pay big and fast!

On a better note, we got a letter (unexpectedly) in the mail today for our AOS interview. We have our interview on December 8th. I've been checking status & haven't seen anything new indicated on line but here it is! Now time to prepare...get all the docs & pictures together & try to prep ourselves for the types of questions we may get at the interview.

How do some women work a full time job, fix dinner, manage the house, take care of children, have time for their husbands, and STILL have time for themselves???

I think 2 of these 6 is PLENTY.

-----

According to a lot of these Christian-based books/audio on marriages, women are not primarily DESIGNED to work full time jobs & don't get the same satisfaction men do from working. Husbands should understand that if their wives are putting energy into work, they won't have as much energy to do all the things they were actually designed to do.

Do you agree or disagree?

(Not that Friday afternoon is the best time to start a discussion.)

I don't know if I'm in total agreement with the Christian theories on gender roles but maybe to a small degree would I agree. I'm very contradicted on that because I'd have to disagree about the statement that women don't get the same satisfaction from a job. I think it just depends on the kind of job. I know there are dream jobs for me that would give me a lot of satisfaction...those jobs just aren't very plentiful.

But as far as how women manage their time and lives....that one has me stumped. I'm sure it's all about time management, prioritizing & flexibility. Sometimes you get to have time for yourself and other times you don't amongst other things you have to balance and alternate. Add to that women (like a few of our yardies) who also add school to the mix! I'm in awe and admiration (just so you know ladies)! I really don't know how you do it. But Nat, I'm surprised to read this concern from you of all people. You seem like quite the wonderwoman to me. You are our spreadsheet queen after all! From what I can tell, you are very meticulous and seem to manage your time very well. I thought I was the only one who felt a whole new level of overwhelmed (not really...I know many of us feel this way but you know...) after becoming a married woman trying to spend enough time with her husband and still handle everything else....even without kids in the mix.

The bridge is for the tooth they pulled? If so, IMO, it's up to him if he gets it or not. I had 2 teeth pulled and did not get the replacement stuff they suggested. Just didn't have the money. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

As far as the women's roles.....I don't think women need to take on all the responsibility they take on. It has to be a balance of the marriage. I know I've lost and found myself many times. There comes a point when you have to say I am doing too much and you have to pull some weight. I do agree you need time to yourself.

No one needs to do any of that. It just depends on what goals you have and how comfortable you want to be in your life. Some people think its really important to have kids. I love my children but honestly, if I had to do it again, I'd have dogs and cats. Its hard raising children, not just because of all of their needs, but other children can be cruel to them, amongst all the other things they go through. Honestly, I wish I had of done college straight out to high school. It would have been easier and still fresh in my mind. Its just a matter of choice.
