A Good Ending

Ok, after reading my cousins' blog, I realized that I need to acknowledge the wonderful things that my husband does as well.

Last week I had parent-teacher conferences which are very draining, emotionally, physically, and socially (basically working 22 hours in 2 days and trying to act happy about talking to all parents and telling them that their child is wonderful, even if they really are NOT! (Although some really are, so that's not really fair to say.)) Anyway, before we started Round 2 on Thursday, the faculty was enjoying a very good lunch when one of the newly-wed teacher's husband walked in with a huge bouquet of flowers and a kiss. Everyone "ohhed and ahhed" over it, including me, but I know that Pret loves me anyway. I did get him to come and eat a free, very good lunch a little later, but only got a few kisses and nice hugs from him with a promise that we would enjoy our morning off the next day. I was really fine with that, so enjoyed what I got.

When I was finally done (about half an hour behind schedule) I went out to my car exhausted and not looking forward to going to the gym and working out, but definitely looking forward to the dinner that my mother-in-law had cooked for Pret and me (Pret having eaten earlier as he had a meeting to go to before I would be home). As I sat down in the car, I was very pleasantly surprised to see a small, beautiful bouquet of three roses. It was accompanied by a sweet note expressing love and appreciation from my husband. I almost started crying as I realized that he truly is in-tune with my needs and emotions. What a great guy! Hopefully I honor him as much as he does me.
