Well within a team of when I posted last as expected lots of drama around our home here in the Midwest. My daughter hurt her knee in swimming, my son has a new girlfriend that he denies, and my wife missed her medication so she is well a little dramatic to say. So I guess you could say things are quite normal around our house will.

The truth is I think I probably signed up for this. I kind of knew it was going to be like this and there was a part of me that wanted it. You know what’s weird is that when it all started dating my wife there was a part way deep down inside that was quite excited by all the drama. You see I was brought up in a home that was very quiet and non dramatic. We never raised our voices for much of any reason and we thought most all of our actions through before we took the first step.

On the other hand my wife’s family over dramatize as everything and when I say everything I mean everything! It doesn’t matter what it is they get excited about it and their voices raise for no reason at all at least that’s my take on the whole point. So day in and day out we have this battle. I say calm down, she gets excited or more accurately it’s the other way around. She gets excited and I say calm down and around and around and round in a circle we go.

Finding a happy medium in this home has been a lifelong task. Don’t get me wrong I’m not complaining really, I love my wife dearly but I would like her to relax a little bit and not be quite so excited about everything that happens. I like peace and quiet she likes noise I hate the TV she loves the TV. She loves to go shopping I hate to go shopping. If it were up to me I would never set foot in another mall. I hate shopping. Oh and another thing I hate driving. I like to drive anywhere. Now walking that’s another thing I do enjoy a walk. Cannot take a walk just about anywhere even if it’s to the store or to pay a bill if I can I’ll walk.

So you see the drama and the dilemma that I find myself in one of my own choosing and one that I choose to stay in because somewhere deep down inside I think this drama kind of excites me and I live I carry sleep through it. Isn’t that funny about how life is? We choose the things that are unlike us because they’re different.
