Grateful wife

You may have thought from my last post that maybe I don't get enough support from my husband.   The truth of the matter is I probably have more support then most wives.  How many of us can say they come home most nights to a cooked dinner even when they're late? That they haven't grocery shopped in years? That they don't organize the kids schedules or know where they are supposed to be or when?  That they aren't responsible for keeping track of school events, driving to dance and sports events? That they don't do the yard work?  And the list goes on. The truth of the matter is that the kids have been so fortunate to have their dad stay at home with them while I worked outside of the home.  I have many friends who wish they were in my situation.     Sometimes I forget how hard juggling all of those responsibilities are. My husband and I made a conscious choice to split responsibilities in this way. I remember when the kids were little, another kindergartener asked if my daughter had a mother....that hurt.  I guess the truth of the matter is that sometimes I wish it was me at home. My life is just so much easier with my husband by my side.  And for that I am eternally grateful.
