21.Marthe 7 year itch
I came home late yesterday as has been the case since the start of 2008. Kelvin was still wide awake and was bouncing up and down when I came in the door. He looked at his dad with a knowing smile and asked him “How about upstairs, Dad?”
Hubby nodded his approval and Kelvin led me upstairs all the while shouting “Close your eyes, mum!!”
He switched on the lights in the room and shouted “Surprise! Happy birthday, mummy!”
Of course, it wasn’t my birthday. It is our 7th Wedding Anniversary this coming Sunday and hubby thoughtfully prepared the surprise in advance. He’s working on the 23rd.
I was so surprised I thought I forgot our anniversary again! Hubby’s trying to make up for his behaviour on Mothering Sunday. And it did hit the right spot. I got a bag to boot! The tag on the card says “… shopping ka na mummy, lipat ko na savings natin sa card mo?…” Loko talaga.
He also wrote his most open and heartfelt letter to me. I guess I was so happy he finally admitted his weaknesses and pride that I ended up crying buckets of tears.
I do love my family so much. They’re my treasure and strength and they’re the reason I keep getting up in the morning to work & persevere.
Marriage can be a bitter pill to swallow. After 7 years I can’t say I’ve enjoyed the entirety of the ride. A lot of times I’ve been tempted to jump ship. But Love can overcome anything, I know.

Belated Happy Anniversary, Auee. May your marriage be blessed with more love and one more baby two-three years from now.
Don’t go spending too much coz I have read somewhere that the British are debt-laden. I even have a post in my drafts about it in my other blog which is what I used in the webste of this comment.
To you and hubby:
