What's Most Important?

02 Sep 2008 04:02 PM

Samual's comments summed up my views perfectly. I don't understand why people have kids and then say things like, "Give up my job? Are you crazy? I couldn't stand staying at home all day with kids." Because that's what I run into even more than saying they can't afford to manage on a solo income.

I can't understand that thinking at all.

Is Artistic Genius an Excuse?

31 Aug 2008 06:30 PM

What an interesting article, Dale. I'm with you...I put Wayne first rather than my art. If I didn't and spent all my time writing, maybe I'd be super successful or something, but the guilt of putting him on hold gets to me. Plus, his jobs eats up so much of our "us" time that when he has time I make sure my time is free to spend with him.

Which actually makes me realize, I'm not a creative genius...I have a lot of time mostly and yet I have not produced anything brilliant.

Well, I guess it's better to know this now instead of making excuses about how my husband's holding me back. (not that I do that, but if I was ever thinking of doing that I sure can't claim it now!)

Let the Dancing Begin!

I was so psyched to see Misty May-Treanor got on. I'd seen her in an interview after a volleyball match say she'd like to be on the show. I'm glad that dream came true for her. Not sure she has rhythm, but maybe she'll surprise everyone and come out a champ on the dance floor too!

Oh yeah! I forgot all about you and what you'd like. I guess you probably would like to stick around too, eh?

Why I Was Embarrassed to Admit I'm a Stay-at-Home Wife

Thank YOU, Andrea, for your comment and insight on your experience with all this. I really enjoyed hearing what kind of expectations you had to contend with.

Thank goodness you heeded your inner instincts too. While I'm sure you'd make a great lawyer, you're a heck of a phenomenal blogger. (And mom, wife...and all the other hats you wear!)

Tabby's Special Powers

Beth, I loved how you phrased this comment. Especially how Tabby's a great friend, because my oh my is she! And you put it so simply and stated exactly how I feel but was never able to put in such concise words. THANKS!

Greatest American Dog: Dancing with the Dogs Episode

30 Aug 2008 06:07 PM

I am glad you're out there finding this stuff and passing it on to keep me straight, ohcomeonnow! Thanks so much for sharing. And, it IS interesting, now that you mention it, that the women are usually portrayed as psychos/emotional/unstable but not the men. Except for Elvis's dad. They sort of tried to portray him as not a very good dog owner. And they try to portray JD as super intense, BUT...like you pointed out, they are tending to portray the women worse than the men.

Thanks again for your comments. And for sharing the link.
