Today I am in heaven. My husband arrived yesterday from his 11 day “guy’s trip” and this morning was absolute heaven. He must have gotten up with the kids because no one came into my room this morning screaming at me “MOMMY, I AM HUNGRY!” I woke up on my own this morning, no alarm clock, no dogs breathing heavily, and no kids screaming at me. When I came out of my bedroom, my kids were dressed and fed. They had their teeth and hair brushed. They even said “Good Morning, Mommy”, in a sweet voice.
I think I am still in shock. These past 11 days haven’t been horrible, but they sure have been hectic. My husband and I normally work together getting the kids ready for school and then one of us drives them. While he was gone, I realized how much I appreciate him and what he does around the house to help me out. This morning was just icing on the cake. Here I am sitting in silence and having a cup of coffee enjoying the morning instead of rushing to get two mouths fed, two bodies dressed, 40 teeth brushed, two pigtails, smoothing down some hair, two lunch boxes, and whatever arguments we may have resolved. Thank you, husband, for my morning. I think I deserve at least 10 more days like this!!!!
