This blog goes out to my dear husband. Here's what his day looked like today. He got up at 6am, made some new garage sale signs, then drove them around our town to strategically post them. He came back to the house, helped me drag things out of the garage and line them up on the driveway, then headed out to buy donuts for breakfast for everyone. He got back, scooped up the baby and fed her breakfast, then took her with him to his parent's house in Adair to borrow his dad's truck, trailer and riding lawnmower.
He went to the church to peek in on the work in progress (we're in a HUGE remodel project), and brought over some things for us to sell in our garage sale. (We made a little bit of $ for the church because of his actions today!)
He unloaded the lawnmower and started mowing our grass, then got the boys' things together, got them ready and took them to their friend's house to play, returned home and finished our lawn. He then loaded up the lawnmower on the trailer, headed to the church, and did the same thing there.
Back home to help me tear down the remains of the garage sale, then off to Adair again to return the truck, trailer and lawnmower and get everything put back in its place.
He got back home, folded up all the tables which we had borrowed from the church for our garage sale, loaded them in the van, and swept out and organized the garage.
He hung out with Sophie and Nana for a few minutes while he waited for me to finish scraping wallpaper paste at the church, then headed over to the church to unload and set up all the tables again. We left the church, picked up the boys from their friend's house, and got takeout for dinner.
After a VERY quick dinner, he bathed the boys and got them ready for and off into bed, then headed back to the church to finish cleaning up, vacuuming, putting away ladders and tools, and generally making sure that everything is in order for Sunday School tomorrow. He got home at 10:49 pm.
This has been a very long and exhausting day, but I have to say that at the end of it I'm so thankful that I've managed to have the brains to marry a man who works for God and his family cheerfully and with a happy heart.
On days like today, his great attitude and happy demeanor make life pretty great. I love you, honey. You're a great, great man.
All the thoughts and feelings that come with being a stay-at-home Mommy to 3 little darlings...I'm not pulling any punches on my blah-blah-blog, so be forewarned!
