THE FORGOTTEN HUSBAND

You’re in your own little digital insta/facebook world. You’re happy to report everything you love about everything and also what you hate. You remain calm, or sometimes not. You mention the littles. And pretty much everything else in your world. 

And there he is off in his world.

THE HUSBAND'S LIST

 We all know what they want for Valentines. Let’s just be honest and get that out of the way. 

Ok, so now that that is easy, here’s a couple ideas for what you should purchase him for you. Men don’t care about Valentines. They really don’t. They know the direct order. Buy flowers, book dinner, get her something nice. Now you can get him something nice that’s for you, but really for him. Ya know? Men aren’t like women. They see, they like, they go. Am I right fellas? If you're reading, hi, see below, find your favorite and click and purchase. All you need is a clean shave and some flowers.

GAUGING THE MOM GUILT

You’ve been there. I've been there. It's an emotional inconvenient response and you're drowning in it.

My friend is considering early retirement. Yes, in her early forties, most people would shun the idea, laugh explicably hollering, are you kidding? But you see, she’s been working in her field since her early twenties, supporting her family, (while her husband finished his schooling), while giving birth to 3 children. You see, she’s a badass, totally capable of working another 20 years, but she’s considering stepping out, in an effort to balance out the needs of her family and also be home with her children, something she’s never done because she’s worked full time her entire career. She’s excited about the idea, but also frightened. And she feels the guilt already creeping in like a sneaky little bitch.
