I knew I never should have put the New Year's promise in writing. So far I am failing miserably at being a good wife and loving deeper and speaking sweeter!
Last night I went to work, after spending a couple of hours scrambling to find someone to take care of R because DH wasn't going to be home until an hour after I had to leave. Thank God that my neighbors were kind enough to rearrange some plans in order to take him.
I got home at 9:25 and DH told me that he had only gotten home at 6:30 instead of 5:30 as I had told our neighbors - I promptly went from loving wife who would have been concerned about my husband's first day on a new job to badgering shrew. It was not pretty... and to add into that we had a baby who got up for an hour right after I got home.
In my defense, after the initial explosion, I got back in the right frame of mind and asked DH to please let us have a "do over" and start again from the beginning of my getting home. We talked about his first day, my night and he called C (our neighbor) to apologize about being so late and not calling (he actually thought R was at our other neighbors and had called them and gotten a busy signal! :). We fed R a little more and gave him a bath and put him back to bed.
I really do want to love deeper though, and speak sweeter. I know this is something that I struggle with quite a bit and need to keep foremost in my thoughts as something I need to do. While I stumbled yesterday, here's to today being another day to try!

You are a brave woman to put your resolutions on your blog! I debated this over and over for myself and still have not got the guts! I applaud you for working at repairing your reaction. I think that's gotta count for SOMETHING!
If you DO decide to stop working, my vote is to buy as much with your discount NOW as you can! :)
