It’s been a long day. I started off a tad irritated this morning because Pat said we could sneak away to breakfast while the babies took their morning nap and he slept through it. It was a slower day today. Only nine kids as opposed to twelve, but I think those early mornings are catching up to me because by the time everyone left I collapsed on the couch and could not get up. The kids were crawling all over me so Pat took them for a little drive and let me lay there and feel tired. Too tired to get something to eat and I missed lunch today. My stomach is eating itself which is not entirely a bad thing…just uncomfortable. I asked Pat what he wanted for dinner and shared the fact that I was starving with him. When he asked me what I wanted I smiled sweetly and “sushi…” Blink. Blink.
Reasons I Love My Husband
1.)He brings me warm bottles to give to the baby in the middle of the night when I am cussing him out in my head.
2.)He ignores my juvenile behavior and patiently waits for me to get over myself and discuss our finances like an adult.
3.)He sits back until I give him the “look” and then he swoops in and rescues me from a sure death of toddler suffocation.
4.)He sat at the door of the operating room, after I was rushed in following an emergency c-section, waiting for word of my condition…for six hours.
5.)He drives 45 minutes out of his way to go get me sushi on Friday night because I’m hungry and moody and tired and he wants me to be happy.
