In the 5 point area - #3 what if you call everyone Ted instead of Bob?

That is the owner of my companies name and there is a standing joke when my associate and I do something wrong - we say - no matter to who it is - "Just messing with you Ted"

It is a humorous joke between the two of us, and it is funny to see other peoples expessions.

That is why I live away from my parents and in laws.

I miss them now, but when the kids were little - it was nice - we got to experience the things we should have with out the - you know or if I were you statements.

Now I wish we were closer for the kids sake, but I am sure if we were, I would LONG for the distance.

Do what you think is right - they are your kids and we should be able to reserve the right to make little mistakes, no one else.

I got 2 - 5 points for the Ted (Bob) thing today.

The people are funny, they actually will look to see if Ted is around - and get a bigger clue- he is in my Corp. office in GA . . .

Throwing a party is sad, going out with a few friends is ok, that is what friends are for.  However - celebrating it to the full extent is horrible. 

 Plus, more than not you spent enough money on the wedding - enough money while married, why after it is over???

Marriage is hard work, just like raising kids - you have to devote time to it, to make it right.

Before kids and marriage - LOVED IT - always bought myself a nice piece for xmas / birthday combo.

However since marriage and all my jewlery was stolen when we were moving to AZ and were car jacked, since we had kids I did not have the desire to replace.  Used the money elsewhere.

I however still have my wedding ring and wear that all the time.

Needless to say, we will be home - with my husband a lump in the recliner only speaking if someone walks in front of the 62" TV.

However, a funny story - the other morning while we were both getting ready for work.  He told me to hire a babysitter so he could take me out for my birthday - went on and on and on about where we could go, what we could do.  Well he keeps talking and then I say "Um, it is Super Bowl" knowing that it would all change.

With a sweet tone, and a smile he says "Oh Honey, I'm sorry"
