I pray Mark gets better with each passing day and that the days just fly by for the both of you! Well I can say I lived through it, it wasn't always pretty and it really threw my groove off for awhile. It was amazing just how many observations he had about everything, who knew he was full of innovative ways to help me improve just about everything I do. (she grins) I found it really helped to mumble repeatedly "bless his pointy, little head"! Good Vibes coming your way! Daphne, so glad you and Mark are on the other side of the surgery.

Like Trevor Howard in some post WW2 spy movie. Or who was that shirt maker.. the Hathaway man? it's kind of hot. but over dinner he showed me his sore eye ball and I found it hard to eat... for 30 seconds. yes, some pirate jokes have fallen from my mouth, but I actually think he looks dashing.

I work from home and he's been out of school since May 1st. I'm surprised we're both still alive. I guess the proof will be in the pudding if we survive this final weekend. I think we can, I think we can. On a side note, how many times have you looked at him and said "Aaarrrgggg!"? Be honest. I hope Mark has a speedy recovery, for your sake and his! lol

My husband has been home since he was laid off in November...talk about a shcck to our living style. Previously, he was gone during the week, and home weekends. So...it was BAAAAAAAAAAAAD for quite awhile. Makes you think of all the marriages that break up b/c people lose sight of the shortsidedness of it all. I always go back to my mantra, been saving me since the babies were born and going without sleep, etc., "This, too, shall pass." So, snuggle up and celebrate that you were able to get to the Dr. on time, so many others aren't that blessed. Oh..and thanks for the sneak peek at Rex: he is delicious!!!!!!!!!!! I could live on just a picture of him a day.. Oh, sister, you feel my pain!! My husband has been home since he was laid off in November…talk about a shcck to our living style.
