The 15 minute wife

I have gotten myself sick with all the things a wife has to do to stay married. I am on the verge of asking myself if I'd rather leap tall buildings! This Superwoman thing has me worn out. This is a busy time of year for me at work with all these damn meetings. And then there's my 8th grader: middle school endings, preparation for high school beginning, extracurricular activities, hormones & homework. Patients to see, emails to read, shopping to do, family, friends, & Facebook. Did I say work and all these meetings? To top it off, I'm a newlywed with a husband to tend to. You get it. I'm busy & sometimes it's not enough hours in the day. I come to the bedroom exhausted. I certainly don't want to "communicate". Some days I don't want to kiss and say goodnight. But today I am making a new law in my house. Everyday I will give my husband 15 minutes of uninterrupted time. No TV, no phone, nothing but us.  Just 15 minutes. I hope most days that 15 minutes turn into hours as we do what we love to do with each other *wink.  But some days 15 minutes may be all a Superwoman can give.
