Because, on a particularly chaotic and overwhelming Friday morning, I fired a frantic text his way:
Having a freakout moment. The house is TRASHED and there are 7 loads of laundry to fold and errands to run and kids to teach and all I really want to do is work on my Lightroom class. If you come home and I'm in Tahiti, that's why.
Without missing a beat, he sent this back:
Whoa.
-work on Lightroom.
-forget the house.
-if everybody has clothes on, we'll tag-team the laundry Saturday morning.
-can't I do the errands?
-catch.up.on.weekend.
Which is quite possibly the most romantic love note an overwhelmed pregnant mama can get from her husband, yes?
I think I'll save Tahiti for another time.
Happy weekend!
Oh Sarah! Our husbands sound very similar! I have had days like that way too often - and I'm not pregnant! Ha!! I am sooooo blessed that my husband helps so much around the house. God knew just what I needed and I am so thankful everyday!
ReplyDeleteMy husband too--dontcha just love these manly superdads?
ReplyDeleteSo sweet!
ReplyDeleteAhhhh what a star :)
ReplyDeleteVery romantic! : )
ReplyDeleteWhat a great guy! Mine stayed home from work today to help care for a sick child in the middle of ballet performance weekend. It's so great to have a team effort!
ReplyDeleteOh, he's a keeper!
ReplyDeleteAww what a guy. My dh would not know what to do with laundry but he would figure something out
ReplyDeleteAw, that's a gem of a man. :-)
ReplyDeleteYour husband sounds great. Mine would respond similarly and I feel blessed to have him.
ReplyDeleteWhat a good man you have there, Sarah. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love that you praise him publicly. He is equally blessed.
ReplyDeleteHe is fantastic. You picked out a good one, Sarah! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet reply! Hope you have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteswoon ;)
ReplyDeleteI know I have plenty of those moments (days) too. Hang in there! So glad when my husband responds calmly to my chaos and gets me back down to earth. As my husband says, short, sweet and to the point. Andy's text reminds me of my husband. =)
ReplyDeleteAndy raises the bar for all of us guys. When I hear things like this it makes a P-I-L (papa in law) very proud.
ReplyDeletePB
How funny! I have so been there. And my husband is the same way, the voice of reason. :)
ReplyDeletefirst - is that a double stroller in that photo??
ReplyDeletesecond - that's a preemo response. love it, A man. Did you really wait till saturday to do laundry? ;)
I love it when my husband rescues me from myself. I thank God everyday that Daniel has bucket loads of emotional intelligence and actually wants to be at home with the kids. We are blessed with our husbands.
ReplyDeleteI, too, love it when my husband says things like that. amazing what a few calm words can do to lighten our hearts and spirits. I am often struck by how God uses my husband in my life to keep me on the right path and a more sane human being!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great husband! SOunds just like my husband. He is so sweet that way and very helpful when I'm overwhelmed. :)
