Dec. 7th, 2017 09:48 am So my husband and I had some rather difficult talks and I think we're on our way moving forward to working some things out. Out of this we've come to realize that we haven't had any time to ourselves since the kids were born. Most of our interactions are rushed and heavily interrupted conversations while trying to get the kids together. We're going away for a long weekend just the two of us in January and have taken to doing yoga together in the evenings.
That isn't to say there aren't things to work on still, but we are moving in the right direction. I think, quite frankly, that he's got to do a better job at recognizing his tendency to get caught up on when things (i.e. jobs, people, whatever he's working on, etc) aren't perfect. Small little imperfections bother him much much more than they should and he needs to learn how to stop obsessing over that, if for no other reason that his own mental well-being.
And for mine. Because I've run myself ragged trying to make everything right and perfect and not only has he seemingly not noticed (though he really knows now) but it has seriously burnt me out.
In other news, Finn has his first loose tooth and he's pretty excited about it. He's wrestling and that's fun for him. Amelia is the resident expert on everything and only wants to eat bleu cheese.
