I was thinking about something to post this morning and my mind drew a blank. It finally just hit me as I was brushing my teeth tonight. How thankful I am for a supportive husband who allows me to enjoy something I really love. I went for a two-hour run this morning. The weather was cold and snowy (I know, it's April. When will the snow go away?) but my run went great. As I was driving home, I was thinking that a nice hot shower would be heaven but I would have to give my 8-month-old a bottle and then feed him baby food, clean up my other two boys' breakfast, wash bottles, get all three boys dressed, eat breakfast myself and then I could think about jumping in a hot shower.
When I walked in the door, my two-year-olds greeted me fully dressed and ready for the day. My husband had fed and clothed all three boys, cleaned up breakfast dishes, washed baby's bottles and my breakfast was waiting for me on the table. Ahhhhhhhh. All I had to do was eat and then a hot, hot shower was next. The shower was heaven. I love running and love that my husband supports me by jumping into Mr. Mom mode when I'm out for a run. With three young kids, I couldn't fully enjoy and love running without him.

ReplyDeleteDaLynn, is my daughter and she really didn't comment, I was trying to comment and didn't realize it was her account that was logged in. So here again I go with my comment.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great husband! I am jealous of the snow! This past week our AZ mornings have been just right, just the perfect amount of cool, but all too soon they are going to be sweltering! So enjoy the cool, you can at least bundle up!
Yep! I love having great support at home. Sometimes even the simplest things Tim will do for me make me so happy. We have a hot water heater timer at home that will turn off the hot water heater from 9am-9pm during the day. That timing doesn't work so well for us on the weekend, so it is great coming home from a long run on Saturday or Sunday morning to find out that he has already flipped the switch for me while I was out so I'd have a nice hot shower without waiting for it or having to worry if I'll run out of that hot water. :)
ReplyDeleteA good man- Wayne! We really do need the support to be able to participate in our sport. And then it comes back to them, right? In one way or another. A happier Wife/Mommy!
ReplyDeleteI love hearing that my good friend married such a wonderful man. Without Geoff, I'd never get to run without the stroller. He never complains, either. Good man.
