Funny How Life Works Sometimes

Today Hush

- drove Mimi to ballet. 

- showed up dragging in a brand new matching crib and changing table in the dark wood I like, because he noticed a good deal when he was picking up baseballs for the boys.

- started digging up the garden so we can replant

- moved and set up the hot tub and got an electrician arranged

- got us Mexican food

- played soccer with the kids

- nap guarded me while I took a two hour nap

- practiced the guitar so he can accompany a friend of mine who is a lovely singer while I read my book

and is currently tossing baseballs to Jude and Silas in the post-rain cold while the sky turns to twilight.

 

Sometimes when you’re going through hard times you think, ok, this is my life.  It’s hard.  I have to do everything.  Thems the breaks.  I can deal and still be mostly happy.

And then you are blessed beyond even your hopes and imaginings.

Funny how that happens sometimes.

 

Note: This is happening to me.  It could happen to you, other women going through horrible times.

Caveat: Hush is great but he also has his own massive character flaws.  I can’t think of any right now, but I’m pretty sure they’re in there dormant. 

PS:   Hush, I do not care if the whole world knows you’re great.  You can deal with it.  You married me, you knew I blog about things.

Sidenote: I’m aware this post is braggy, but you suffered through the epic disasters in my life so you can suffer through my grateful rejoicing.  Life must be recorded.
