Resolutions

I think a lot about New Year Resolutions every new year but I don't really make a New Year resolution. I am more of a "by the seat of my pants" kind of girl. I really do not like to plan too far ahead. This year I thought it through and decided that I would make a resolution, it never works for other people so it should do wonders for me, right?

I decided to take the easiest resolution I could think of and I decided that my resolution for 2009 would be to be more patient and more affectionate to my husband. (You can all laugh now) I did not tell him about my resolution for the first few days of 09. He was acting so strangely it was getting on my nerves and I thought "Oh Crap, I'm not going to make it through the first week without ripping him a new one. I am a horrible person." Finally, I asked him what his problem was and this is what he said,"You are freaking me out. Are you dying? Am I dying? Why are your being so nice? I don't know whats wrong but you are really freaking me out?"

Nice, huh? That pretty much sums up our life. He is perfectly content with the daily lashings that come along with being married to me (over 14 years ), but the first day I start to be nice and calm, patient and loving I am freaking him out. I don't care if I am "freaking him out" I am sticking to my resolution... he is already a lot less jumpy than he was last week!
