Sudafed saved my marriage

I’ve been writing this blog about everything that marriage is for a while now. I’ve been wrong. The only thing that marriage always is would be changing. I have been so fortunate in my marriage to have a husband that has supported my every decision, rubbed my feet at night, made me dinner regularly and on occasion he says some really sweet things. But there are some things about marriage you never see coming and once it happens you think to yourself, “Dear God, is this what the rest of my life will be like?” Sounds pretty bad, right?

I have mentioned before that I have the oh-so-dreadful LA401 paper coming up. I worked so diligently over the weekend. I’m not really one to procrastinate – don’t get me wrong I’m not perfect in this department but I LA401 wasn’t one of those things I really wanted to freak out about. By Sunday evening I was about...
