It has been raining all day long here. I shouldn't complain, because I know we need it, but it is just so dreary. Plus, I know the traffic will be horrible. It cost me $65.00 to fill my 4runner up with gas today, $3.13 a gallon here. That is SO ridiculous!
My mother and grandmother left today for Austin, Texas, where my grandmother is originally from. Her sister is coming down with alzheimer's, and they are going out there to try and figure out how they are going to handle it. I really wanted to go, but just didn't need to take the time off work. We used to go quite a bit when I was growing up, and I LOVE Texas. The little town my grandmother is from (and where we still have family) is literally like Mayberry. It is like stepping back in time. It is just so slow-paced and everyone is so friendly (and everyone knows everyone AND their business LOL). It has a main street where all of the high-school kids "cruise" on Friday night, and a little old-fashioned square that still has a drugstore with a soda fountain in it.
Well, I am going to go home and cook spaghetti and meatballs tonight, Brent's favorite. We are trying very hard to work on our marriage. Although I don't think it is generally good to "leave" when things are bad, it did help us both to see how unhappy we were without each other (which made us both see we need to work hard on this marriage). We love each other too much to be apart, although at times we can get quite nasty with each other- GOTTA stop that!
Nothing big planned for this weekend. The usual grocery shopping and laundry and housecleaning. The UGA- Tennessee game is on Saturday, and we may have some people over for that. Ahhh, our exciting lives being married -hahaha.

I'd really like to read your journal, but your font size is too small for my bad eyes. LOL
I am glad that the separation made you realize how important you are to each other. Sometimes that is all it takes. Both of you realizing that the nastiness needs to stop is a step in the right direction too. Maybe when one starts, the other says "STOP", then it stops. You have to agree, beforehand, to abide by the rule. If you don't agree to stop, it'll just continue and you'll end up saying things that can NEVER be taken back, and cause so much pain that it will NEVER heal...and that would be very sad, and totally unavoidable. Much luck to ya'

I am so glad that you are back at home with Brent. I love to go to little towns like that also. Ours used to be like that but it is so built up now that it looks like a regular city! Lelly
EEEK $65?!? Gosh.. I have no idea what it costs to fill our chevy tracker I just toss 20 in here and there. It is ridiculous! I wish you all the luck in the world on being able to work on your marriage. Its hard some time but with a little bit of will there is a way. Take Care
