Sleep. Good. Solid. Sleep.

In all seriousness, I agree with the posts about living a happy life, but in thinking about what that involves I would have to say that it definitely includes making the hubby happy. When we were out shopping this weekend a salesman spouted to the hubby "Happy wife=happy life" but it's also the reciprocal. My hubby is the most important to me because he is my life. If he isn't happy, then I feel terrible. If he's sick, I work to make him feel better. If he's looking for a job (which he is), I keep my eyes and ears open to opportunities for him. I proofread his papers, I clean up after him (and try to get him to help sometimes), I console him when he is having a hard time, I help him find an excuse to drive down to Tysons to go to the Apple store so he can spend a couple of hours ogling all the gadgets, I plan with him, I constantly chat with him, I walk home with him from the train station after he's done with work, and, if it came down to it, I would give any body part or whatever to him if he needed it. Why? Because he is my better half. I want him to be all that he can be (in a non-military sense). If he is then he will be happy. If he's happy then I will be, too.

I loved reading your post. You are quite the wife in the best sense of what a life partner should be. If I was a good deal younger, the only question worthy of being asked would be, "Do you have single sisters?" :)

Don't get me wrong.... I'm not perfect at doing all of that all the time by any means (I've been known to nag him and we have our disagreements), but in my heart of hearts that's what I feel, and that's what I want. It scares me to think that that desire could change if I let it (people's priorities have been known to change). I hope and pray that I don't. If I do then I think I will have lost possibly the best thing in my life.

BTW... there's still one of us sister's left (the youngest), but she may be a bit too young--still in undergrad. ;)

Repairing permissions every 10 minutes. Because I don't know what it does.


Whoa. If you don't know what it is then you should be doing it at least every five minutes. You don't want your permissions to suddenly break on you. I know a guy who has a sister who's friends with a newt that lost both of its arms because of a permissions error. :eek:
