On being on an island.

Ok, so when my girlfriends talk about the grumblings of married life and such I always feel a little lucky. No really, I kind of have it good. I make the rules in my house and I don't have to answer to anyone (except the kids of course). There is no one to fight over the bills, the house, the yard, the cars, future financial stuff. All that stuff. So, the decisions are mine......and so are the outcomes. I own them. It's empowering and frightening.
