Do you ever have one of those conversations that feel like you are talking about two different things and really aren't on the same wave length?
I have found that since having my son this happens a lot. I am not really sure why.
My husband goes off to work and seems to have this life that is completely foreign to me. It was always like that and before my son, I had my own life too. We had so much to talk about and share.
So while my husband is bemoaning the process of translating and re-recording a voice over from English to Bhasa. I interject with "did I tell you that our son nearly drowned today?" Well he didn't really, but while playing in the pool he did go under and struggled to get back up. I had it all under control. Really I did.
Later that evening my husband asked for some help with a bit of work he was doing. While we are throwing words around that is relevant to his job, I decide it is the right time to talk about the goodie bags I have to get ready for my son's play group in the morning.
Are you seeing where this is going?
It's a funny displacement. I love the fact that my husband comes home from work and has lots to talk about and new things that interest and excite him. I guess at times I feel like I am being left behind.
But I have the new exciting developments of our son to share and excite me. This is my new job/career and I just need to embrace it so that I don't become dull and boring.
It has only taken me two years to get to this point. Who says I am not a fast learner? Ok, a learner then.
