Todd walks in the front door from work. As he takes off his coat he glances at me,
"How's it goin?" he asks.
I deadpan, "I feel like a caged animal, trapped in a life of hell."
Our eyes lock for a two second beat. In those two seconds he reads me and determines I'm allright.
He cracks up, and I start laughing too.
My relief is here.
I can breathe.
Okay, perhaps "trapped in a life of hell" was a smidge over the top.
At least today it was.

Hey, I feel like this everyday when Kory gets home. (PRAISE the Lord!)
:)
You're funny! Yep, there are good days. I'm so glad that you had one today! Still, wouldn't it be nice to have "garden shed" aka "Personal retreat" in the backyard...I've been dreaming of that today...
Glad today that was an exaggeration. Still lovin' HT.
Well done. Mark and I have an autism telepathy too. And our kids have made our marriage rock solid. Weird. It makes so many people split up. I tease Mark "You can't divorce me! Ain't no trophy wife on earth gonna take OUR kids!" And we laugh. Laughter beats crying. Though we do that too. FULL SOUL AHEAD! :)
Always, always love HT. And you.
BTW—exaggeration rocks. Lets you see the humor in some very unfunny situations sometimes.
Like your kids' expanding vocabulary, you have amazing, stupendous, miraculous range, Michelle. It takes some real depth and breadth of soul to step back and say "that's an exaggeration. Today."
love.
Great line! GREAT MARRIAGE!
Nothin' better than a husband who "gets" you. I've got one of those too and I'm so grateful!
I love that you guys are able to laugh together. That will serve your kids well.
Yea - I think I was feeling that way yesterday in my car - love sarcasm -love exagerations, even though they might not be the best ways to communicate. Sometimes it too hard to pass up.
So great that your man knows you so well.
I have a "room of my own" in the basement that serves that purpose beautifully.
No kids allowed.
