gratitude: day 8
Today I'm grateful for Ryan.
I'm usually grateful for Ryan. Even if I don't always tell him. But, today I'm especially grateful for Ryan.
He's done the dishes probably 8 times this weekend (translation: he's done all the dishes this weekend...and we don't have an automatic dishwasher). He has changed 9 out of the last 10 diapers; most of those weren't pleasant.
He cleans the laundry rooms/parking lots of both complexes that we manage. And he does it well.
He brought a flower home for me on Thursday.
He helped me paint our room on Friday.
He watched Leah while I took a much needed nap {migraine induced} on Saturday. Then he helped me fold 6 loads of laundry.
He started dinner for me today while I was at choir practice for longer than expected.
He works hard all day long at his paid job and then comes home and works hard here. And lately he's been working hard at night to try and keep Leah calm, quiet...and asleep. This usually means long drives for him at night.
Then he wakes up and does it all over again.
And ladies, don't get any ideas. He's taken.
He's a catch if I do say so myself.

I'm also grateful for Ryan. You are both experiencing a very difficult challenge and I'm so grateful for the way that you are working together to manage daily living. Ryan, thank you for being so good to my daughter. I love you.

Hi Maren. Your mom's comment made me tear up. Thank goodness for good people to be your life support. Thinking about you.
