Blogging on the Brain

I know I've been quiet here recently. It's because I've been working on some new blogs. I'm totally bitten by the writing bug. Everything I do, I think, "Hmmm, that might make a good blog post." I need to start carrying around a notebook to jot down all my ideas.

I'd love it if you visit (and subscribe!) my other blogs. Each one is a bit more specialized, as opposed this one, which is kind of a mish-mash. I'd love to hear your feedback. What you'd like to see on each blog. Suggestions of topics, etc.

To make life easier, here are the links:

  • Cup of Creativi-Tea: I'm sharing all things creative, whethere it's cooking, sewing, or kid crafts. Maybe some bellydancing (that's creative!). I'm also adding lots of tutorials.
  • I'm Not the Nanny: Parenting stories, with some musings about raising biracial kids in a racially conscious world
  • Laugh in Bed: Intimacy and relationships. Maybe some sex.

I'll still post here occassionally until I get the other ones established! Thanks for reading!

Day 13: Gratitude


Normally we only think about gratitude during Thanksgiving. I probably don't tell him enough, but I'm grateful for all that my husband does. Growing up in an Asian family meant that the woman does all the household chores, cooking, and most of the child rearing. I knew that whoever I married would be helping out with the housework.

Granted, he doesn't 50% all of the housework because a. he doesn't really think about it all the time and b. he just doesn't have the time. What I love that he does is on his days off, he gives Sophia 100%. I get to relax. Normally I just work or clean. He takes her to the Parent Resource Center on Friday mornings (kinda like a school environment). He wakes up early (rather, she wakes him up) to feed and dress Sophia. He lets me sleep in.

He's a great listener too. He doesn't really cook, but he gives great back rubs. And supports me in all of my endeavors. If I'm taking on too much and get exhausted or overwhelmed, he never tells me, "I told you so." Our relationship is by no means perfect (whose is?). Today and everyday I am grateful for my wonderful husband.

Back rubs out weigh cooking anytime!But take it from old Granny Judi and learn to give each other foot rubs -sheer decadence!
Enjoy!

You can order take-out food, you can't order a back rub! (Unless you have ooodles of money.)

How awesome! The love in your post is priceless! Blessed be! :)
