A Little Under the Weather

Well, I got to spend my weekend in bed for two straight days. I am just now getting my sense of smell back which is good and bad. Good, cuz I love smelling my fall candles and yummy dinners and actually being able to taste my food. Bad cuz now I can smell when Jax needs to be changed. I must admit, poopy diapers aren't near as bad with no sense of smell! However, the good by far outweighs the bad ;)!

As I was laying in bed listening to my hubby struggle with the kids, I began to think about all the little things I do around the house to keep things running smoothly. Sure, Mike is a terrific husband and father; but he wasn't born to be a mother. He did a great job of taking care of the kids and cleaning things up, he just doesn't really know exactly how things are run around here. He is a-m-a-z-i-n-g and I would never want to make him sound like anything other than that.

I just think he got a great dose of just how much he appreciates all I do. He was good at putting dishes away and feeding the kids... getting them dressed and to church on time and all of that. It's those little things like crumbs on the table and the floor. You know those crumbs? The ones that if they aren't wiped and swept up immediately, they end up all over your house. It's the fingerprints on the windows and the kitchen appliances. It's the food that explodes all over in the microwave. And last of all, it's that darn laundry that never goes away.

Yes, because I spent two days in bed, I am paying dearly for it today. On the bright side, the crumbs are gone and the laundry is ALMOST caught up (until tomorrow). The fingerprints were gone for about one hour.

I am just so happy for a husband who does so much for me. He cared for me so tenderly. He never complained once, and I know he was stressed out. His plate was so full this weekend... not only did he take on Chemistry and changing the brakes and fixing the door of his truck, he handled my responsibilities as well. I love him so much!
