A few weeks ago my husband was out of town for work. Â Not a huge deal…well it does mean I do it all alone. Â When he is out of town, I am in responsible for morning wake up, breakfast, getting my girls ready for school, getting myself to work just on time, working a full day, picking my girls up, taking them to their activities, dinner, showers, bedtime…woooo oye! just that alone makes for one very exhausting week. Â If that was not enough fun my oldest decided it would be a great time to get a fever and a horrific chest cold. Â Add on missing three and a half days of work to care for her. Â I just about lost it!
Then this happened. In between the lack of sleep, all my mommy responsibilities,  ugggg household responsibilities, a sick daughter and juggling work week this happen….a text comes from a friend checking in on me to see how I am handling it all, a friend sends me home with a dinner for that night, my sister shares with me a super awesome dream she went after, a friend helps with morning school drop offs, a friend listens through all my tears about a family problem and  gently and honestly tells me the words I needed to hear.  Through all the crazy, through all the stress, through all of what could have been a very lonely time, I was reminded of how very, very lucky I am to have these amazing women in my life.  I was reminded of the gifts they give and share with me everyday!
I feel the exact same way. Every once in a while I’m just blown away by the amazing women in my life! So very lucky!
(Incidentally, Jason was just out of town, too! I so would’ve brought you dinner! :))
We are so lucky! It is just an incredible feeling and warms my heart so to know I have these woman in my life and you do too! Husbands out of town is so hard!! I would have loved for you to bring me dinner. XOXOXOXO
