Day 18:<\/p>\n
Since its our wedding anniversary, I thought I would reflect on partnerships, marriage, and how we manage our chaotic life. Managing a household with two working parents ( and one that likes to always ensure we have “special side projects” like moving just because, selling a rental property, or insert other non-necessary item here) is difficult and we are far from perfect. Some days are a struggle to even get out of the house, some days we are the worst version of ourselves, and some days it all clicks and goes perfectly. I can\u2019t even fathom what it will be like when I go back to work, but I do know that we will figure it out and do our best because we are in it together. Both Husband and I work together to make sure we get things taken care of, even if sometimes it may be less than ideal ( once \u00a0we <\/span>\u00a0The Husband signed up for the fruit tray for a class party but forgot to buy it and bring it in. Frantically rushing to a meeting, I called him and told him to deal with it,\u00a0 and his solution was to get a fruit tray delivered to the school). For the record, I would have never signed up for the fruit tray (rookie move – always<\/em><\/strong> sign up for non-perishables or paper products). Sometimes our spouses may not do things exactly the way we like, but they get the job done. I have to remind myself that I don\u2019t micromanage my team at work, so I shouldn\u2019t feel the need to micromanage the Husband as long as results are achieved. Instead of giving my take on our life- check out The Husband\u2019s tips on how we are attempting to maintain a\u00a0 50\/50 partnership here<\/a>, if you haven\u2019t seen it already.<\/p>\n Positive Thought of the Day: I am lucky to have a partner that will change diapers, entertain the kids to give me much needed alone time, keep the kitchen counters cleared to keep sane, loves to cook healthy and delicious meals for the family, and on top of all of that is supportive of me and my career. I would not be able to do what \u00a0I do without him and for that I am grateful.
