Did You Know We Live with a Super Hero?

Did you know? Seriously, we have a super hero living with us, the boys call him Daddy, I just call him Mike but truly he is our super hero. It has been a long week, a very wonderful, but long and tiring week. The week before last was a bit draining on me too, something about crazy pregnancy hormones, exhuastion, and Josh's skin flaring up, oh yeah and not having the boys nap - it just well drained me. It drained me emotionally and physically. This past week we had VBS at church during the day and I had the privelage of helping 5 other wonderful ladies teach the 3 year old - preK kids - 20 of them! It was a blast, but it was tiring. Throw in a doctor's appointment for another bad flair up, mom worry about not doing it all, staying on top of the baking and cleaning and I was pooped. Last night, we had the end celebration for VBS - it was fun, then there was clean up. Lots of hard work, important but tiring again. Mike stayed home with the boys - no naps remember, that would have made sitting for an hour very hard! I came home, having plans for this morning to go to a Creative Memories party and visit a friend in the hospital with another friend - Mike has the boys bathed and in bed and is working on the new closet he's building. He tells me I should make a day of it, come home for dinner but make a day of it. So this morning I left a bit after 9 and got home around 5 - I had fun at the Creative Memories party (of course) and got a few goodies, then we had lunch just 2 grown adults with no children (priceless!), went to visit our friend, then stopped to get huge drinks at Sonic for their "happy hour" and then after dropping her off I went to shop for little girl clothes and a new cookbook. Holy smokes! Talk about refreshing! Mike had dinner almost done when I walked in the door, the boys both had good naps, he had picked up, he had made me tea, and even started the hamburger roll recipe (that is ridiculous in lenght/time but oh so good). So you see, he's really my super hero. I don't think he'll like my bragging on him - but he deserves it. He works so hard every day for us, he works hard at work and at home and playing with the boys and making sure that we are all well taken care of. And now, he's off with the boys and Kasey for a walk - so I can rest some since I am coming down with a cold. Truly a blessing to me, one that I am ever grateful for. Oh and as for dinner - he's an amazing cook - it was delicious!
