I'm definitely a fighter just a quiet one...unless provoked. I tell him all the time how lucky he is to have me and most of the time he agrees...but I'm lucky to have him too. He says I'm good for him and he's good for me too. I tend to be a procrastinator and lazy at times. I don't mind clutter and absolutely would rather give birth 10 times without any medication than clean my house. I am so burnt out on school that I stopped trying and failed a class..that I know have to take over costing me time and money. I was furious with myself but not as furious as he was with me and rightly so. He pushes me..not always the way I want but pushes me just the same. In his own way he makes me a better person...a better version of me. And he says I do the same for him.

We had a pretty rough day yesterday...he tried to beat up the pork chops??? Ya not sure on that one but apparently one must have offended him somehow? Not sure..anyway..it was just a bad night. This morning I woke up and he left me a card I keep on our dresser on his pillow and a note that said I'm sorry..again. (He has a witty sense of humor). The card says:

"People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that’s what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that’s holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life. A true soul mate is probably the most important person you’ll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake."

It's my favorite line from Eat, Love, Pray. It certainly fits us to perfection.

Spiritual support is slow in coming but that's my fault. I need to pay better attention to it. I have prayed more in recent months than I have in a long time. I appreciate the prayers. I'm going to need them.
