Happy Anniversary !

Well 17 years ago walked down a little church wedding with around 100 guess on a very hot day .. four brides maids and groom men . my Dad walked me down the isle and my parents gave me away .. Really what that mean . lol nice big party after . this story started 5 years to that day before as i knew my husband 5 yr to day before marriage .
So let be honest not sure how we made it this far and if we make it to the end . marriage is not easy every day .. well daily lively easy but long term seems harder . i do love my life and what we have together and share together but i wonder sometimes is it enough and what will happen in 10 or 20 years from now .. i know my husband would say dont worry about tomorrow and maybe i shouldn't . i know tho for us we get tied up in daily living and forget to be grateful for what right in front of us .. last year we tried to change a few small things but didnot really change anything and got back to living daily crazy life of raising four children .
i would not change a day up today as i am so grateful for our children and the life we have for them . (ok ok so what we do on 17th wedding Anniversary. ) i spent in Mankato with the girls playing ball and husband spent in mound with oldest daughter playing ball . thats what we done last five years at a ball field . we did go to dinner tonight with a gift card my mom gaves us .
so darling husband went out Saturday morning before we all had to leave and got me coffee , card and flowers . it was very sweet .
his card says "for our anniversary i got you this card that 'll remind you of me ........... (turn over doesnot open)it doesn't do what it is supposed to do either ....................

Am truely Greatful but i just wish sometimes ..............

What would yours be? mine be a little more money each week . i just once wish i could have more in savings , not worry about paying bills everyday bills , college bills and sport fees and private school . OK some of these are choices . so if i did not have any of these bills hum i have a lot more money each month to put into saving but these are things i have chosen to be important to our family . we don't drive new car we don't shop a lot we don't eat expensive foods . am actual pretty frugal that areas.
Am not sure it the choice we made over the years or the trades we are in or just plan simply had 4 kids why we don't have extra money . Is it something we learned ? i grow up in a house with money issue so why am i follow the same ? DH did not ? will our kids .
Don't get me wrong and it always works out and am grateful for the bills to complain about and the kids expenses to complain about

So maybe teens are not so bad

it all control i know am a mother of control and i hate feeling out of control am sure that seems from my child hood as i had no control in an additive family . i had to create my own control (another post ) back to control of teen my son will be 19 on Monday i know i know i am only 25 still Carnot be right but he is . so first this week end which we are out of town he wanted some friends to stay here hum (two girls ) hum not when we are not home ok so they decide 6 of them are going camping just hit me boys girls camping . i know i know am getting old and so are they . i think the first time i went camping boys and girls i was 16 .
now my 16 yr old having a fit she got to come with us this week end and wants to stay home . now we did at 16 leave our son partly home for the week end but different children different sex ? maybe any way maybe next year i might die of a panic attack but some day i need to let her free .
Really am the kind of parent that lets her children have a enough room to hang them self a little with out hopeful getting to hurt and can still be there to pick up pieces . i grow up and so did dh with no rules tons of freedom to do what we wanted when and where . i think i want to find and keep the middle ground for our children . i hope we are
