Love or Love Seat??

        I want a new living room set!!!!!! I've been wanting, wishing, and praying for a new living room. I even wrote a letter to Santa!! Forget a new set, I just need a sofa. As of right now the only thing in the living is the dog's cage, an Xbox,  T.V., the stand everything sits on, and a whole lot of empty space. Yes, I really did move into a full fledged bachelors pad. Where there should have been a sofa use to be a large air mattress that my husband did NOT want to part with (but once our bull mastiff got a hold to it he had no choice!).  I have been begging for a sofa, at least, for the longest. I pulled some special tricks out the bag and finally got him to at least take me to Value City to look at sofas. Well look is all we did there because I didn't see my dream couch there. My husband isn't one for shopping and I knew if I didn't do something quick my search would be over. And I was not about to have that!! I'm almost ashamed to admit what I did to make sure our search continued, but I was desperate so I cried. Yeah I said it, I CRIED!! Right there in the store I started tearing up over my sofa. I sure did. And those alligator tears had him waking  up the next day and taking me other places to continue my search. Our search can to a happy end when I found the perfect sofa and love seat set. I originally wanted a sectional but the set was so nice (cheap!). I sat on it and could see myself curling up in the corner of it with a blanket and a bowl of popcorn watching a good movie on LMN. I knew I had to have it!! Well I don't know if this is a good thing or not, but the girl that sold all of the furniture was an "old friend" of my hubby's, so we got a good deal. Oh and don't worry I was watching her friendly ass. Hussy.... oops!! Any who. After setting a date for delivery we went home and I waited like a child waiting for Christmas. When delivery day got here I was up and dressed way to early. I was so anxious!! Finally I heard the sweetest sound ever: a knock at my door. I almost jumped on top of the delivery guy when I opened the door. They brought the sofa to the door and no matter what they did or how hard they tried the sofa wasn't going to fit. ugh!!!! My smile was slowly turning into a frown and I could feel myself getting ready to scream. When the delivery guys finally gave up the fight with the sofa he came to me and said "this sofa isn't getting through this door ma'am I'm sorry. You want everything else though?? I mean you still have a love seat out here. Maybe you can pair it up with some little recliners or something" I couldn't believe it! I felt like excepted defeat much to soon and now he wanted to break my set and leave me sofa-less. I wanted to cuss, to scream, to slap somebody... anybody!! The only thing I could say was "Love Seat? My husband is too tall for a love seat. I can't kick him out the room to sleep on a love seat! Just take it all back." Now I'm sitting here looking sick with no furniture in my living room. They say patience is a virtue but the way I feel right now, I wish I would have taken the love seat still. My husband can sleep on the floor as far as i'm concerned right now. Ugh!

Life Is so Different Now!!

     I remember when I was a little girl how different I was from other little girls. I didn't play with barbie dolls; I liked bugs and climbing trees. When all the little girls watched Disney movies and dreamed about happily ever after, I just wanted to be a high powered attorney living in the fast lane with no kids and no husband. Boy how things have changed!!! Somewhere down the line I must have changed my mind because I am now a wife and mother!!
    I don't know where Justin came from but we had an instant connection and I feel head over hills. I just knew there was nobody like him in the world. I remember telling my best friend, Tamara, that he was the one that I wanted to spend my life with and that we were going to be married. My mother always told me there was power in the tongue because the next thing you know I was running off to the court house to become Mrs. McGowen.
   But let me back up!! Before Justin came in my life I was your normal carefree girl. I did work hard but that was so I could pay what bills I had and have plenty of money left to blow. I didn't have any kids so I could come and go as I pleased. I was hardly ever home!! So when I met Justin, a single parent, I didn't really think we were going to be much more than friends. Hell, I met him on Facebook!! Oh I was so wrong!! I think the day I met his son was the scariest day ever for some reason. I had never dated anyone with children and now it was like I had to impress this 4yr old!! And let me tell you little Justin is one tough cookie!! I think seeing Justin with his son made me fall harder for him. He is a great dad! But like most women who are with a man with kids from a previous relationship I didn't want any drama with the mother. And there is almost always drama with the "baby mama". But no for me. Sadly the mother of his son is diseased and I didn't have to worry about stepping on any toes which is something I never wanted to do. Little Justin is an absolute sweet heart! My family loves him and my parents are excited about having a second grandchild. My nephew absolutely adores his new cousin. It is great and warms me to see everyone together. But do you see what I mean when I mean when I say things have changed? As of August 16th 2012 I officially became a mother and wife!! I have my own little family!!
    Married life is hard!!!!! They say the first 2 months are the hardest and they are most certainly right!! Justin and I have never fought so much!! He acts like a child and he still thinks he lives alone. He is sooo inconsiderate! I am in a totally new place I know no one and VA is huge!! So its hard for me being so far from home with no family. Plenty of times I have threatened to go home and I know if we can make it to month 3 then we are meant to be. LOL!! As I sit here and watch the Jerry Springer Show (I don't know why I'm watching this) I realize that my relationship isn't that bad and we are blessed but this marriage thing is hard!!
   This blog will be my salvation. A place were i can take my thoughts and kind of vent. I need this. I dint care if no one sees this. This is for ME!!
