Married but Miserable

A Mother knows when her child is getting sick even before her child has its first sniffle. And how is it that even before the child wakes up in the middle of the night a mother is up just seconds before? Is this and extra sense that women are programmed with?  For whatever reason god has hardwired women this way. The question that comes to mind is a women’s motherly instinct also hardwired the same way for business & politics?  I have been chasing the American dream ever since I moved to the US.  My wife arrived to the US four years after me with our son.  It’s now 20 somewhat years later and that dream that was in my hands has begun to diminish.  I started my own business and worked extremely hard. The risk taking began to payoff.  Now that we had some money to invest, I began to venture into real estate. My wife and myself looked at hundreds of deals.  The deals she liked required less risk with minimal return. The deals I liked were riskier but the payoff would be colossal.  Were her instincts correct like with the children? It seems so.  Her investment choices are the ones that are carrying us right now in these ruff economic times. My wife’s instincts were to create a warm and safe environment to protect our home. She applied the same strategies when making investment choices.

Now can my wife’s instincts go one further and be correct with politics? My wife thinks… how is it possible for Barack Obama to become president. She mentions that he has no track record and associates with shady people that she wouldn’t even shake hands with. She told me last week he doesn’t bring that warm and safe feeling to the kitchen table. Is my wife right about politics as she has been about our children and our business? We will just have to wait and see until November 4^th Election Day. And if he is elected let’s hope his term isn’t like the four years we had with Carter. By the way her instincts tell her that Sarah Palin is hot.
