Heather:
Is she all better today? Those eyes…OMG.

I think there’s variations on dreams. Some of mine are now highly unlikely. Olympics? Probably out. (never had a sport, just wanted to be an olympian) President? One more year and I’m old enough to run, but I think there’s enough skeletons in my closet that THAT wouldn’t work out. (Also the whole no public policy experience thing.)

You kick so much ass (in my humble opinion) I refuse to believe you’re not following any of your dreams right now. Maybe not the way you thought, but I bet you’re doing it.
xoxo, L

LOL! I am still trying to figure out what a Spohr is, so I’m right there with your hubs.

I am always to happy to hear about people following their dreams. If we didn’t have a certain high-risk baby that needs super-expensive health insurance, I’d be following mine, too.

Thanks you guys. Good to hear there are others who are slogging along and kicking ass at the garbage can game.

But Bloggess: Beat this. One nasssssty bowl of crusty mac and cheese, swarming with ants, that had been left out all night. Perched precariously on top of the bulging bag of garbage, to unleash ant-y fury on the first unsuspecting husband to empty it.

Actually, it appears NO ONE is doing the domestic grunt work here.:)

yes to all that. We are work from home/stay at home parents, but it’s definitely not 50/50. He does more of one thing (pay bills) and I do more of another (pick up socks and drive kids to birthday parties), but somehow it all works out in the end. Both careers survive. No one has to change all the diapers.

I *totally* play the how-much-trash-can-I-fit-in-a-bag game. One time I got 3 large pizza box and a gallon of bad milk.

Beat that.

I am so happy to see other creative people doing what they want with their lives and making it work! What a role model you both for your children. If you don’t enjoy how you spend your time here what is the point?

Love your last line “It’s not 50/50, but we’re both giving it 100%” Great way to put it.

That is a very nice tribute to your family. It’s so nice to hear that you and your husband are together, but living the way you want to individually. When you are a happy individual, you make a happier couple.
