Family Ties (wasn't that a t.v. show?)

Well I'm here again while the babies are sleeping *touch wood* and decided now was a good time to talk to myself online. LOL. My Hunny and I have really started to try and work out the details of this homeschooling thing. But of course before we got to an agreement there was this HUGE disconnect in the middle about exactly how it should be done. Me, thinking I'll dig up some of my old teaching stuff, lesson plans, get new material, and go from there. Him, thinking that we'll enlist a few other folks to step in and teach while I give them an outline/guideline from which to work. Hoooneeey, I'll tell you it was a hot azz mess trying to get that straight. Because I immediatley began to feel that he didn't have confidence in my ability to teach our children and would rather them be taught by strangers. And he was thinking that he didn't want me to become overwhelmed with being responsible for shaping the minds of our babies, AND having to be responsible for the day to day management of running a household, and then be stressed out. In the end we both had a very clear understanding of where the other person was coming from and both felt that our concerns and considerations had been addressed. I felt so relieved at the end of that discussion and he was so apologetic for making me feel he had no confidence in me.

After all was said and done I reflected on how people will have ideas and thoughts and express them to family and friends and then feel hurt later by the responses those folks may have had to there ideas. And it made me see how things can get out of hand very quickly if folks don't take the time to really hash out and express their feelings in a calm and respectful way without temperatures rising. I really appreciate that my Hunny and I when we do have strong disagreements, that in the end we can work it out without it getting ugly and resorting to name calling and yelling. Because I am always suprised when other folks tell me at how very quickly that happens. Relationships, aren't they just grand? LOL.

Okay my tummy is starting to talk to me, plus I need to wipe the dayum sleep from my eyes cuz I'm writing this blog with double vision. (funny the things I don't care about as far as my looks and appearance goes now that I have babies - who would have known).
