My Sweet Husband

So, I was having one of those days...

Actually, I haven't been feeling too spectacular this whole week...pretty down on myself, I guess. Overwhelmed may be? Just feeling like I can't get ahead, and struggling balancing everything. Being a stay-at-home mom is the hardest job EVER. Dishes and laundry are never-ending (which seems quite obvious, but I feel like I am not even finished doing them and they are all piled up again...), toilets, floors, tables, counters...pretty much any given space of the house, even if clean at that moment, will NOT stay that way for any period of time. Not to mention the MOM part of the job description...nursing Teegan, changing Teegan, picking up messes, making breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, breaking up fights and disciplining, teaching,etc, etc....and then the fun stuff I feel guilty for not doing enough of...like projects with the kids, coloring with them, singing with them, going to the park, taking walks, etc, etc......

and how can I neglect to mention losing my temper...aaahhhh, so much to learn...

Danny was home from work for about an hour before he had to go to a meeting, just enough time to eat dinner and get the kids all riled up! Seriously, would NOT change the latter; the kids need and love that...what an awesome Daddy he is!! However, I still felt completely overwhelmed and exhausted from a challenging day...after he left, I just went through the motions of hanging clothes up and the kids' bedtime routine. Then, I felt like a zombie, robotically doing the dishes (again!)...

At last, Danny came home and, to my surprise, with a gorgeous vase of flowers! Flowers had never felt better, just what I needed! But paling in comparison to the flowers themselves was Danny's gesture of love, concern, and appreciation. Tears and a long, sweet hug later, I felt the rejuvination I needed so badly!

I am so grateful for my amazing husband. In the day-to-day adventures of motherhood, I sometimes forget that I am a wife first...Danny, you mean so much to me and if I could spend every moment of every day attempting to show you my love, it still would not be ample time...thank goodness we have eternity! I've fallen in love with you yet again and am so grateful to have you holding my hand throughout this incredible journey!!
