Love......

What is love? What do we really want from our spouse? Is it to understand them or to be understood? I've been married now for 12 years and still don't think I have this figured out yet. My hubby and I were talking this evening and I was telling him that I want him to be more romantic. I'm afraid that this is an unrealistic goal because it just isn't who he is. Am I supposed to be ok with this? I guess so. I know that I don't want him to do it because I ask him to. I don't want him to resent me. I want him to do it because that what he wants to do. But, now that I've brought it up, again,if something changes, is he doing it because he wants to or because I guilted him into it? Oh the complexities of marriage.

In the news today I saw that our nation is 1.47 (I think that was the number) trillion dollars in debt! A trillion! That's 1000 billion! I mean, I sit and dream about winning the lottery when it's a couple of million. We the people have not seen any of this trillion dollar debt. I sure know I haven't. I'm still fighting with my bank (it's been 15 months now) to get a home loan modification. The banks got a bail out. When will the people get a bail out? Something has to give in this economy. It's terrible for a lot of people. And yes, I am a little bitter about the runaround I keep getting with the bank. I mean, come on and just give me the permanent modification instead of keeping me hanging on with my "trial modification". I am beginning to think there will be no good outcome and I am going to lose my home anyway. Hey, Mr. President, help the little people stay in their homes like you said you would.

Ok, enough ranting for now. Everyone have a good night!
