So is marriage something that eventually gets easier when you reach old age... when you are no longer so busy juggling 5 million things and pulling small children away from swishing thier hands in the toilet water? I love the relationship Joel and I have - we are great friends most of the time we really understand each other. I love the way that he really knows what I need...he pushes me to do things that he knows are important to me...even when I wouldn't dare and even when it puts him out to do so. I love it that we understand each others work, vision and interests... that we're in to so many of the same things but both have our own avenues to get on with things. But seriously does life get less busy? Our time together seems to be a whirlwind of chaos...the space in the daytime is filled with activity of entertaining the children, but the main time we see each other is when one of us runs i the house , hands over the car keys and a child and the other rushes out. This maybe happens 20 odd times until the children's bedtime. Then it is focus time - all the things we have needed to get done in the day but couldn't, all the me time, work time, creative time...the evenings are a hive of creative activity in our house. Even now at 1.30 - gosh I did NOT realise it had got THAT LATE! I am writing away and Joel is crafting songs in the lounge next to me. Together but both in our very own different head space. I do love that but how fo you switch off? How can we spend time together that isn't busy? Seriously do you have to wait until your children have grown up before you get any sort of normality back?
