Perfect?

My husband told me last night that (I can't recall what we were talking about) that he believes we have the perfect relationship. In my way, I half laughed and said I didn't think it was perfect but then it dawned on me that he was totally 100% serious. And it touched me. I thought about it all night last night. Finally when I went to bed I told him that I thought him telling me he believed we had the perfect relationship was the best thing anyone had ever said to me. Truly. It was an unsolicited response and I know that he means it. He believes we have the perfect relationship. While I believe that all relationships are a work in progress which inately means they aren't perfect I think it is amazing that he thinks we're perfect. Not much in life is perfect. That means flawless. We lay in bed talking about why he thinks it's perfect and I couldn't disagree with anything he said. We have never had a fight. We talk rationally about things and we agree to disagree. We are kind, considerate and respectful and we understand how to comprimise. Okay, maybe it is perfect. :)

Sometimes it's a little overwhelming

I've been a bit lax at posting. This should give you an idea of why: today I worked 10 hours and never had lunch. It's just been one of those weeks. I knew it would be when I left the office on Friday. It hasn't let me down. I came home in a mood on Tuesay feeling both overwhelmed and frustrated. I try to keep these things to myself but I rarely can. I finally explained that things were nuts at work as as much as I tried, I couldn't do it all. If only Paul would get a job that paid what I was paid then I could regroup and all would be well with the world. He patted me on the back and said ok. As if he meant it. What he did understand is that I can't work 9-10 hours a day, come home to dinner, laundry, cleaning and the lot of house work that usually stands in front me of too. So, he and Emma have nicely been preparing dinner most of the week. I usually have defrosted something but it's a step in the right direction and I appreciate it.

I just keep hoping one stress will lessen. And I'm still waiting.....
