There is No "Me" in "We"


My husband seems to listen to everything. He catches every word I say, even when I am being a smarty pants and really do not want him to hear. Yesterday, we were in the kitchen discussing (he was really discussing I was kinda of just in the room) about moving my brand new KitchenAide off of the counter and putting it on the bakers rack. I really am not feeling it. I want to see my KitchenAide on a daily basis. I waited to long to get it. I responded after he gave me all of his points as to why it should move, " We'll I do not want to move my KitchenAide. I will move the other stuff that I have soon, to make more room." He stood there and just looked at me. He made this funny look on his face and then said," Move your stuff? I thought it was our stuff?" He said it like he was offended or something. I immediately became confused. Since when did he care about the stuff in the kitchen, that is my domain. He mainly goes in there to get something to drink and walks back out the room. I recovered quickly and stated," I mean our stuff." He seemed to accept my response and did what he always does and got something to drink and walked off to go watch TV in another room.


Ever since we got married, it has become we this, we that. Now do not get me wrong, I do enjoy the we, but since when did it matter. We lived together for years before we got married, so I always thought it was our stuff. So if I did not change my thought process, it had to be him. Now that we are married I think he feels more responsibility for me and our things. It is kinda cute. So I need now going to enroll myself in "We-Camp" so that I can no longer offend my husband. I have created a new motto for myself. My new motto is that "There is no me, in we." Not to say I will not still be Dana, just to say that I will be more conscious of the team aspect of my marriage. Glad I learned this lesson early.

Fill in the Blank Friday--Sleep

1.   The last thing I do before going to sleep is         turn on the TV and set the sleep timer . 2.   When I can't sleep I      watch TV until I fall back to sleep   . 3.   The first thing I do when I wake up is     go to the bathroom . 4.   When I'm tired I      can fall asleep anywhere. I have fallen asleep in a folding chair, on a couch , outside, sitting up.....let's say when I am tired, I am tired . 5.   My dream bedroom would be       have lots of white linens and would feel very breezy. It would be filled with antiques and have a large sitting area. It would be shabby chic . 6.   If I could wake up anywhere tomorrow morning it would be        on a porch on a beach house listening to the waves roll in and the feeling the sun rise on my face . 7.   The longest sleep I've ever had was    I a...

Wedded Wednesday: Thanksgiving Traditions

With the holidays coming,  I am thinking about how I want to spend them with the hubby. We do the same thing every year for Thanksgiving and make a road trip to spend it with his family. I usually go shopping on the day after Thanksgiving starting at 3:00am and usually come home and sleep the rest of the day. I was looking at starting some sort of new traditions on the Saturday after Thanksgiving that we can do for years to come. Maybe like putting up the Christmas tree (this is my vote), taking an annual holiday photo, doing some shopping together or maybe doing something relaxing like getting a couples massage. Of course, we will have to throw in some football and lots of left overs whatever we decide to do.Building new traditions, will be the traditions that will continue in our family  and define the holidays for years to come.  Do you have any Thanksgiving traditions?
