Marriage Actually - An honest look at marriage

The Long And Winding Road…

by Marc Audet on September 25th, 2008

To  those of  you  are regulars, today was wet  t-shirt day.  So after work this morning  it was time  for  the  wet t-shirt festivities around  here.   It has been a wild  &  crazy day here with the continuing adjustments of  my  not being able to drive  for  a while.  So it hasn’t been a great day.  The rest of the week continues to get more trying.

A few days ago Marye was starting  to talk about getting one of  those sexy  chauffeur costumes.   It has let us spend more time together as she takes me to work or to the church for  Royal Rangers.  That takes away a three hour  plus window of peace & quiet for her on Monday nights for prime undisturbed blogging & writing.  As does driving  our son  Matt to the junior college for his  dual credit classes,  feed  store  runs,  and errands  to  the  grocers  and  health food  store.  Each day seems to hold its own extra trip out.  Tomorrow, we get to go to the VA hospital for my chest x-ray and special blood work the neurologist wants done,  then I need to get copies of some of my medical records for next Tuesday’s Board of Veteran Appeals on my service connected disability.

That will probably take care of Tuesday completely.

A 90 minute drive each way and try to arrive an hour to 90 minutes early to meet with my service officer at DAV to prepare for the hearing scheduled for 11:00, but more than likely later than that knowing the VA.   This is quickly becoming  a  pain for her.  It has been  dragging her everywhere and away from the work at the computer and the house.

After this four day training camp and the VA hearing there should be some letting up on all the special trips.  It is putting extra stresses to an all ready  stressful situation.   It is affecting every aspect of our marriage at once.  That’s not a good thing.

I know that God doesn’t test us beyond what we can handle.   but, …..

HELP!

I’ll keep reminding myself, God is still in control…God is still in control…

God is still in….

Blessings,
