From Matt
To be perfectly clear here I am Wendy’s husband Matt. I sent this email to Wendy and asked her to post it on her blog. A few days ago Wendy made a comment to me. To be honest it pissed me off at first. The more I thought about it the more I realized what [...]
What you wish for
One of my husband’s (to be former husband) big complaints about my writing– whether article, blog post, email conversation, forum post or text message (yes, he read my text messages, and yes, it was a problem) was that he didn’t feel that I mentioned him enough, or at all.

It’s the end of the world as we know it (and I feel fine)
My husband cleaned the living room and home school area. My. Husband. Cleaned. Just let that sink in. Sometimes it just takes a while to accept certain things as reality, don’t try to force yourself to take it all in at once– it’s better for the brain to just let it sit in the back [...]
