What did I do to deserve this?
This weekend, TheKidlet had a soccer tournament.
The agreement, cast in stone and heavily negotiated, was that I would take her to the 2 games on Saturday and we would both go on Sunday. This would allow DaHubby some much-needed alone time. Much-needed because work has kept me so busy lately that he has been picking up ALL of the household slack, and he deserved some time to just wind down.
Friday, I went to a play with my friend C, a play in which my other friend K produced and acted in. Interesting play, more on that in a later posting. I went, even though I was in the throes of a cold. The cold was mild, so not gonna keep me down.
See where this is going?
Saturday morning, I woke up – after getting about 2 hours of sleep because I was awake fighting this cold. Meds were useless against the constant dripping, draining, coughing, and sneezing. DaHubby, after all the negotiations, was on soccer duty.
He was a good sport about it; he took her to lunch after and then texted me to ask how I was feeling.
“I have a fever now.”
Soccer duty times 2, with no complaint. At least not to me.
Today, even during his newly re-scheduled down time, he showed up with D-dog in tow to the game because she was sad he wouldn’t be there.
He showed up, carrying my cell phone and coffee that I left sitting on the kitchen counter when I left in a hurry. He knew I’d be lost without the cell, and cranky without the coffee.
Because that’s the kind of guy he is. He’s thoughtful, considerate, and he works hard to make sure that TheKidlet and I are happy and well taken care of.
And some days I look over at him and wonder just what did I do to deserve this?
Today is the day that I make sure he knows he’s appreciated and loved, just because. For no special reason, no holiday, just a day where I think he should be shown how much he means to us.
Today is officially declared “DaHubby Day”.
