I know...forever and a day

Ok, so I haven't been on here in forever....but I have been sorta kinda really stressed about everything that has been going on in my life....and I thought it good that I just needed some time you know?  There is no sense in having eight million blog posts about how upset and sad I am, so, I waited it out.  And guess what??  It isn't bad anymore.  But a good portion of the reason being that I have the most amazing man in the whole wide world and he just sits and listens and waits for me to finish my toddler like tantrum and all of my emotional BS and then he asks "are you done"  and I say "yes" and he says "well good.  how do you feel now"  and I say "much better" and he says "that is brilliant.  I love you baby"   see????  how could you NOT love this man???  
Any how, I was reading a glamour magazine and I came across this "why you should date older men" article, and I am sharing it because I could NOT agree with this woman more!!!!  here it is:

"When I first started dating Alex, I assumed he was my age. He had a baby face, wore jeans with Converse shoes and knew every lyric by The Shins. But during our fifth date, over burgers and beers, he asked sheepishly, “Do you know how old I am?” It turns out he was 41, a whopping 13 years older than me.
My eyes popped that night, but four years later, I’ve realized that this potential deal breaker is actually the biggest blessing of our relationship.
At a basic level, an older man never gets boring. After four decades of life, Alex is a walking encyclopedia. With past boyfriends my age, I knew all of their stories by month three. But Alex always has anecdotes (and bedtime tales) I haven’t heard; plus, he has answers to all my questions, from job advice to how to cook an egg. Older guys already know how to change a tire and give a good back rub. And I can’t think of anything sexier than that James Bond-like knowledge.
But it’s what he doesn’t say that I count as the real blessing. You know those days when you’re cranky and wanting to pick a fight? (For me, that was my entire eighth month of pregnancy.) Alex never takes the bait. He made that mistake with past girlfriends, he tells me, when he was younger and hotheaded. Now he’s mature enough to sit back, keep mum and ride it out.
But perhaps the biggest reason I like dating an older man is the way it makes me feel. No matter how wrinkled I get, I’ll always be 13 years his junior. When he’s 83, I’ll be a wizened 70. But in Alex’s eyes, I’ll still be his hot young wife."

Now the article did have the opposite too, "why you should date younger men"  but that didn't relate to me, at all.  But I thought this was just plain brilliant and RIGHT on the nose.  I mean, aside from his name being Alex and not Daniel, is sounds sooooooooo much like My Daniel  :}

fhdhgjdhafghdjahgjkdhagklhdjhga, so, I still miss my daddy...but I got to talk to him today, so it made my sun shine a little brighter and I needed that today.  AND I feel really sad too, my cousins granddaddy died last night and he just had his first day of basic training yesterday and can't come home  :(   just makes me appreciate my family and all they do for us.  :-*

So, I am gonna go now...perhaps there will be another sunshine and cuddly hugs post later too  ;)
