A day in the life of an Ohioan turned New Yorker
Published on April 4, 2005 By alison watkins In Misc
Ever since I've been married and moved my life has been like a roller coaster ride. I get up around 7 every morning, work out, go to work, come home to an empty house and before you know it, when I see Hardin for the first time of the day which is usually in the evening, I'm dead tired and falling asleep. Sure, I have my two days off, but he's either off playing gigs or doing school work. Last weekend we did make it out to the Eastern tip of Long Island and do some hiking, but that was only one weekend out of an entire month. We want to get out and enjoy eachother, but it seems like our schedules rarely line up. How is it possible to make time for fun during the hustle and bustle of every day life? How do you marriage vets do it??

You know,I thought I had an answer to your question, being a married vet (more than 10yrs)and given that my spouse and I work on opposite times, me day, he nights. But right now, we dont' really have a social life! We're actually just making time for social activities. A concert last month and a visit to another couple recently for recreation and gossip! This was just us as a couple, no kids. And I'm planning a two hour road trip w/ the kids for this month. My spouse and I can just sit around in bed cuddling - just lying in bed, legs tangled watching the telly. That's what I call quality time. Not being bothered about anything or anyone just each other. So the only thing I can tell you is you have to find the time. You have to carve the time out, write it down, make plans or else nothing happens. It's hard, really hard and you have to make time for it or you will have no social life and then life becomes humdrum!

That sounds like a good idea...MAKING time for us...I agree...it doesn't have to be big outings, life is about the little things.

When it comes down to it, pretty much anyone anywhere can go where ever they want to with whoever they want to go there with. You say there just isn't any time for you to spend time with your husband. Well, I would say you just aren't making any time for you to spend time with your husband. Of course it goes both ways, I'm not singling you out. How is it possible that he has time for some gigs but no time for you? How is it you have time for a workout, but no time for your man. Ha. I guess time with your man can be the same as a workout. Here's a simple solution. Make time for each other sometimes. It's easy to do.
