I don’t give my hubby enough credit for all the things he does.  I should–as he does a lot of the family work these days.  Two-three days a week I leave for work usually before the kids get up.  Hubs gets them up, fed, dressed and out the door to school and daycare on time–all the while getting himself ready for work.  Two nights a week he has to be home early for me to leave and he then prepares dinner for himself and the kiddos.  On the weekend, I leave on Saturday before everyone is up–or as they are getting up and I am out to work out and home after he has fed them breakfast and entertained them with some activity.  Then I usually am gone for a 4 hour stretch on either Sat or Sun to do school work and he entertains and occupies them so I can study.

As I write all of this, no wonder it feels to  him like I’m never home and often when I am home, I am so exhausted from all of the jobs, etc., that I am not much help.  I always knew he would be an amazing husband and an amazing dad–but he has surpassed all of those expectations as he really excels at domesticity (he doesn’t read here) and I can take care of what I need to knowing that he has picked up the jobs I am just too busy to do.  These are all things I did, before I went back to work full-time-ish.  It is nice to have a partner in the truest sense of the word.  I couldn’t do what I am doing without him.  Thanks baby.  I do promise to finish school and get a “real” full-time paying job so that you can someday follow your dream.  Thank you for letting me follow mine.
