Appreciating my husband & grocery shopping

I love my husband dearly, he is a very loving, gentle, and overall good guy. He is tremendously helpful with just about anything, with the exception of cleaning the bathroom. (I of course let this slide since he is so exceptional in all other areas.) I tell him everyday that I love him, this is not hard to do at all.

But Rob is traveling again this week and when he is gone I definitely realize all that he contributes to the family.

Rob is an amazing father to Colin. I know that not all father's take such an active role in their children's life, but Rob is not like that. He eagerly waits to see his son get up from his nap, he feeds him, clothes him, changes his poopie diapers without complaint, he bathes Colin.

I love watching Rob read to Colin it is about one of the most precious moments. Rob and Colin play games together that they only understand.

Well its just me and Colin this week. Its only Monday and it wasn't the best day. I'll some it up:

We dropped Rob off at the airport.

We returned the DVD's to Blockbuster. So far so good.

We went to Ralph's for groceries (now I travel past two other Ralph's to get to the one that has a better produce selection).

Colin had a super soaker of a diaper, clothes totally gone. (this is were it goes down hill).

The seat belt on the basket broken. (can't leave Colin AKA Super Destruction Boy alone for a second).

Colin won't sit still. (Shocker)

Have to carry Colin & Shop (always fun-I remember the days he was in the infant carrier).

Due to his wet clothes, I obtained two pee soaked sweatshirt arms.

I stood in line for 15 minutes before getting out of line to further contemplate leaving a full cart of food (by knew we desperately need the groceries) & migraine has now set in and I can't see squat.

Felt bad about leaving a full cart of food, got back in line.

Waited in line for another 10minutes before checking out.

The checker asked my 3 times if I would like paper or plastic. (At that point I wanted to tell the checker to stick the plastic bags where the sun doesn't shine.)

We made it out, Thank God!

We made it home, Colin fell asleep.

I was able to take some drugs, eat some lunch. And thankful the headache is finally beginning to subside.

These are the days that I look forward to Robert coming home, this will not happen today. So all I hope for is a good evening and a peaceful night, so we can start anew tomorrow.

I love Rob. And while I appreciate him everyday, I really appreciate him the most when he is gone and I eagerly await his arrival home.
