A few months ago I heard a song on the radio, that stopped me on my tracks.
(Has that ever happened to you?)
....
It had been a crazy day with the kids and I was feeling more like a chauffeur than my kids mom; between swim lessons, scouts, sports practices, and trying to balance out the romance in my marriage. I burned dinner, while helping my kids to work out a squabble, and I was tired. (Boy was I ever tired and I still had laundry to do). I wondered how I was ever going to get into "the mood" later that evening like I promised my hubby earlier in the day. Honestly, I was not feeling very romantic at all. (Anyone else ever feel that way?) After getting the kids into bed, I did a quick run to the store to grab a gallon of milk for the next morning. As I drove home, in sounded this tune from the radio that stopped me in my tracks:

Due West: "I Get That All The Time"
As I listened, I was reminded of what a fabulous marriage I am in. I am in that busy crazy time in life with kids, where romance means taking out the trash with a wink, taking care of those childhood squabbles so that peace abides in our home, a hug with a side of forgiveness for a burnt dinner, a hubby that understands how some days are just tiring and getting in "the mood" may not happen as promised. By the time I arrived home, I was feeling much better...and more romantic. :p
....
Tonight I read that this song that helped me on that day in my journey in life and in marriage, hit the top #20 on GACtv at #12, I was thrilled! It is refreshing to see that marriage and family values are recognized by so many people.

My hat is off to DUE WEST! Thanks for reminding many of us, and especially thanks for reminding me that when it comes to rollin' with the punches and romance...
