Juggling Act

I don't talk about my husband in this blog because I feel in a way it's a breach of his privacy since he doesn't even know this blog exists. 

My husband and I have really had a strain on our marriage lately. We celebrate our 3rd anniversary on 10-1-08 but have been together for 9 years ( I was 18 when we met!) This year have been trying for many reasons, it has really tested us. We are different. Better for it in some ways, and also less innocent and naive. 

 While parenthood has been a blessing for us both, I am beginning to wonder if a father feels the emotions that a mother does. Throughout the ups and downs of this year our coping mechanisms were insanely different. We have not been on the same page. Communication was a major issue. So I emailed him, figuring that would be a great way to get all my points across without all the added yelling and tears that a face to face encounter would bring. It worked! I was actually heard! So I think e-mail is the way to go from now on, as 21st century and non personal as that may sound. 

How do we balance our husband and our child? How do you not get lost in the process? Such a juggling  act. Is there really enough time in the day for it all?  I am hoping to jacuzzi tub in our new house help...  ;)
