With two graduations and two weddings this summer and hosting multiple showers for said weddings along with adjusting to me working full time other things have been challenging.

And as I said, the 'sexual connection' is a nice place-holder, but not a long-term substitute for an actual interpersonal relationship.<br /><br />The title of this post isn't just a cute 'Doors' reference; it also expresses the thing that happens when you're too busy for too long, and you wake up next to your wife, whom you vaguely remember as someone important to your life, but you forget exactly how. . .<br /><br />;)<br /><br /><b>Lime</b> - OUCH! Hope you got yer brains mostly all tucked back in. . .<br /><br /><b>Xavier</b> - I'm not sure if we had only two, that our lives would ever be 'calm'.

He's gone so much, then often working when he's here, then spending time with the boys, and now, Friday, I'll be returning to evening hours at the bookstore until the boys are back in school. Oh, we have a great deal of work to do in this area, but it's always nice to know that it's not an impossible hurdle.for a different kind of girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04431273646365489225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3654204667900390232.post-9216109446161783612009-06-03T19:16:45.286-04:002009-06-03T19:16:45.286-04:00It's always nuts at this time, and I only have...It's always nuts at this time, and I only have four to deal with- I don't know how you manage it!<br /><br />Getting away, as well as your early-morning connections, sound so great.
