Well I've never been a gal who needs a lot going on for Valentines Day. In fact I'm quite content to spend today home with my awesome little family. But one can't really help but think about loved ones on a day like today. I was reading some posts on my babycenter.com birthclub post board about husbands who don't help at all with kids, who spend 5 out of 7 nights of the week away from home either playing basketball or some other activity or hanging out at the bar. Being the independent type of gal that I am, my first thought is why the heck are these women putting up with such things??? But my second and more important thought is how lucky I am to have not only a wonderful husband, but a true partner in this adventure. Sure, he doesn't know how to (properly) load a dishwasher, he for some reason piles his dirty clothes on the floor 4 feet from the hamper and accidently locked me out of my own car twice last week (and out of the house once while I was preggers) - but he not only helps me out with things I ask him to do, but he actually wants to be involved. He loves me and he loves our children. He fed Meyer a bottle I pumped and slept with him in the recliner last night to give me a break from nursing. He fetches me things all evening long while I have a three week old attached to me - and all without griping!
I love my guy and while I could continue on with a laundry list of great things about him - I wouldn't want his head to get too big! I just hope that he knows that even though I go through little bouts of the crazies right now and perhaps am a little more cranky than usual I love him and feel so grateful that we found each other.
Happy Valentines Day!
