We need a mid-week temperature check because things are getting serious out there in the shopping aisles! There are two types of people in this world: 1. Those who have been blasting Mariah Carey since November 1st. 2. Those who think Christmas music is illegal until 2 weeks before the day. Poll Time: What is the ONE Christmas song you could listen to on repeat, and what is the ONE song that makes you want to cover your ears? (I’m looking at you, "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer"…)

My high school sweetheart and I have been together going on 15 years! We have 2 kids ages 3 and 10 months! Currently I’m thankful for his drive! He goes to work daily and is excellent at what he does allowing me to stay home with our babies!

A trigger isn't just something that makes you angry. It's an emotional response that is disproportionate to the current situation. Often, it's tied to something from our past. Maybe feeling ignored reminds you of feeling left out as a kid. Maybe a certain tone of voice feels like criticism you heard long ago. Action for today (just for you): Think about your last argument. What was the exact moment you felt that rush of anger or hurt? From a historical perspective, what is the earliest memory of feeling that way? Getting to know your own triggers is a superpower. You can't control what your spouse does, but you can learn to manage your own reactions.
