When a man loves a woman . . .

When a man loves a woman
Can't keep his mind on nothing else
He'll trade the world
For the good thing he's found
If she's bad he can't see it
She can do no wrong
Turn his back on his best friend
If he put her down . . .

I love this song recorded by Percy Sledge (redone by Michael Bolton in the early 90's).  The lyrics ooze a story of sweet, sweet love. 

Has any recording artist captured your love story in song?  Do you have a story that goes along with the song?

Dividing the Pot

With financial issues being cited as one of the #1 reasons that many couples get divorced, how do you think that the issue of money should be handled?  Do you think that couples should keep separate bank accounts, or combine finances?  How do you feel about each spouse having their "own" bills?  Does it matter if one spouse makes more than the other?  What about SAHMs?  What happens if one spouse loses their job?

Never Say Never...

"Not have enough time to take a shower? Me? Uh, Uh, never." That's what I always thought when I saw moms complaining of not having enough time to get things done.  Now?  One of my biggest frustrations is finding the time to workout, and then not being able to get in a shower immediately after. Hmph.  It's crazy really, the amount of things I claimed would "never" happen to me once I had a baby.  And guess what?  That list is probably just getting started, and only going to get bigger.  Amazingly, I still find myself thinking "I will never let Izzy do that." Yeah.  We'll see, lol.

What are some things you swore you would never do with your kids that you did, indeed, end up doing?
