About Me:: I'm Deb Abramson. I also have a married name, thanks to my husband, whom I love somethin' fierce. I'm sticking to my maiden name here--or, as he likes to say, the name that I had when I was a maiden--because once upon a time, in a different but related context, I didn't do that and got him into serious trouble. I'll tell you about it sometime. I have written and even published some things. I live in Asheville, NC, but I'm from the Northeast and while I love this city, the South is and will probably always be strange country. I have three children--Ezra, five, Levi, four, and Lilah, two. They are wonderful, challenging, infuriating, and awe-inspiring. I'm tired a lot of the time.

Is that your's too? I love it. May I post it on A Wild Ride with an appropriate link of course?

Also, I have not forgotten about the nagging questions!

A while back I made the conscious decision that I wouldn't become my husband's "mommy." So I refuse to nag him. When I have something to say, I make sure I have his attention, I wait until he's actually looking at me (boy can't multi-task to save his life...), I tell him how important what I'm saying is to me, and then I let it go and let the chips fall where they may.
If he forgets or doesn't do what I was hoping he'd do, then he gets to deal with the consequence. Appointment missed? He reschedules. Bill not paid? He gets to deal with the collectors.
Because he knows I won't remind him, he's much more attentive and I'm glad I haven't become an enabler. I feel more like his partner and less like his mom.

Hope that helps!
