Looking up!

Things are finally looking up.

There have been so much sickness going around our house that Will and I hadn't even had time to do that thing that married people like to do when the kids go to bed. (No, not talking about watching tv without interruptions. Or sleep.) It seems like whenever I start feeling really disconnected from him, that is usually the culprit. We NEED to remain, um... active in order for our relationship to thrive. If we don't its like not feeding a pet. It makes us both irritable and frustrated and you know what? Sometimes that frustration gets taken out on the kids. Not in a physical way, in an "I am irritable and don't want to deal with kids being kids," way.

I never thought that it would matter whether or not we were intimate on a regular basis. I assumed that you would fall in love and that would be that. But I think that both Will and I lead different lives. They are both pointed at the same goal, but our paths are running in squiggly lines all over the place. Its only in that moment that our lines truly connect then the lines can stay closer together for a time, before we start heading off in our different directions. I think that is why its so important. Maybe if we had similar lives, similar paths that we walked every day, together, it would be different.

I feel 100 percent better than I have in weeks, and you know what!? It is great!
