Beware--

I found this on More like Mary- More like Me blog. Join in, blog it and leave me a comment.

Lately I haven't been feeling well at all. Frankly, I am so annoyed at myself. So I can imagine the added stress that it places on my husband. My hubby has graciously taken the reigns in our home. He has stepped it up and helped so much with the kids. I feel horrible like such a loser for all of the slack he has had to pick up. I am grateful to have him.

Last night I made him salmon patties which he loves( why I don't know) But I burnt them and had to throw my family's dinner away. In our smoke filled home, my hubby ate a sandwich instead.

I am such a scaredy cat at night. All of the littlest noises make me think that we have bad guys in our home. I am so grateful that he has no problem getting up in the wee hours of the night to check things out.

My hubby use to work 3rd shift...totally stank. With all of the kids, it was much easier to have them sleep with me at night. Especially since I was always dealing with the kids' chronic illness. By the grace of God, my hubby now works days. Most mornings we wake up with all of the kids in the bed. No grumbles on his part.

God definitely has brought my hubby and I though a lot of challenges and suffering. Sometimes, I just didn't know how we were going to fair. But,we are stronger than ever and continue to work through those tough times.  He is a no quit kind of guy. Both of my parents are serial divorcees...so quitting is how they roll.

I get down a lot with my job. Not break dancing down ( Paula Abdul !! are you reading my blog ...Again????) ((I guess you do have to be drunk to want to read through this mush)) Hubby is always there and says " Don't you remember this time last year was just like this" Even though he is not right, it does make me feel a bit better.

My husband converted to Catholicism a few short months after we married. What a tremendous gift that is to our marriage and our kids. This is the ultimate blessing.

My husband it the GREATEST father in the world. Sorry ladies... Ive got you beat. He loves our kids so much. Never questions any activity we do for them. He scoops up my babies and hugs them tight and kisses follow. He is all theirs as soon as he comes home from work. I love how he shows his love to them.

We get mice. We aren't dirtballs. But we get mice. Disgusting. Guess who has that duty. My loving husband. Totally stinks. Anything dirty, gross, or buggy....has his name all over it.

My husband is ok with all of my compltely irrational( sometimes) worries. He listens, doesnt try to talk me out of them ( he wouldnt win) and tries to make me feel better.

So many other reasons I love him. Really. I couldnt possibly be married to me. It would be awful! So maybe thats his greatest strength... he can handle me as his wife.

Thank you God for my man. Thanks for allowing us to continue to grow in our marriage.
