For Better Or Worse
Jan 22nd, 2012 by Shalee
These are the days when a marriage is tested.
Mr. Right has had some new duties handed to him at work and he’s hoping to manage them well. He came home so completely spent on Wednesday that when I thought he had gone to change out of work clothes to comfy clothes, I found that he had conked out for the entire night.
The kids have had some activities that have ramped up just for this time of year. Then Girl had to be in a different city by 4 PM on Friday, requiring Mr. Right to work from home since we can’t get back home from downtown in time.
I’m still finding my standing at work, learning the ins and outs of a new job, people and company policies and proceedures. I’m still working to show that I am the right girl hired to make the company a better business in my small way.
On Friday, I forgot that we had invited good friends over for dinner. I’m so glad that they are good friends and don’t mind the last minute switch of heading out for Mexican food instead of feasting at playing games at our house.
Oh, and I’ve been battling sinus issues for the last two days and not sleeping well. I feel as if I have a running faucet about my mouth, my throat is soar, and the hacking coughs trying to clear them out are not a pretty sound I tell you.
Oh, and The Boy woke up in the middle of the night to throwup a few times.
It’s been good times around here.
I’m so glad that I’m married to Mr. Right. He’s helping me to take it all in stride; he’s helping in the area of feeding and getting things done. His handling meals and dishes has helped me to have enough energy to keep up with the laundry and clean a couple of the bathrooms.
He really understands the meaning of “for better or worse”. He follows through his promise of “in sickness and in health”. He takes seriously the uttering of our vows.
And I love him all the more for that precious gift in itself.
