Yesterday I wrote a post that in which I moaned about my husband a bit. Today, by some strange happenstance, I came across this — exactly what I needed to read to put my mind back on track. Whether you are a believer or not, these are sage words from which any married person can take a little wisdom.

Cast of Characters
Me: Late-30s, American just returned to the US after living for 15 years in rural England
M: Husband, mid-40s, English
E1: Elder daughter, born mid-2005, allergic to eggs
E2: Younger daughter, born early-2007, allergic to eggs, peanuts, treenuts, dairy, soy, lentils, chickpeas, beans, peas, chicken, avocado, bananas, cats, and possibly coffee and lanolin.
With guest appearances from the cat: as HerselfThe Plot
An American Stay-at-Home Mum tries to find her direction in life, as she returns to the US with her English husband, after 15 years in the UK, and discovers how foreign her home country now feels. She also learns to negotiate the new and frightening world of food allergies, after her younger daughter is diagnosed with multiple, severe allergies.
The theme of Potential and Expectations explores the potential she once had and has now lost, and the potential she has yet to fulfill; the expectations that have been placed upon her in her life and those she still tries to live up to; and the nature of the unmarred potential her two daughters now possess, and the expectations she will choose to place upon them as they go through life, and those she will not.What You Say…
