I don't always have "downer" days. Today is one of those days when I feel at peace with my marriage. All it takes is for my husband to do something really nice for me, and I know it's all worthwhile.
I am co-director of girls' camp, and the other director is my best friend. Well, due to health problems that have to be resolved immediately, she is unable to go to camp. CAMP IS IN 3 DAYS!!! I just found out yesterday that I'm going it alone. Yes, I freaked out. I'm not good at spur of the moment anything. Well, I have the most understanding husband in the world I think. He made me feel sooooo much better. Said ALL the right things, went with me to get a humongous diet Pepsi, and was just so supportive and compassionate. I realized that when I think times are rough, and I'm not sure about being married to who I'm married to....I need to remember the little, super nice things he does for me. I feel very fortunate.
One more nice thing....he took our girls' shopping for stuff they need for basketball camp next week. This may not seem like a big deal, but we live 100 miles from the nearest mall. I was planning on doing it, but have been sick for the past couple of days and have been working anyway. I had planned on leaving after work this afternoon even though I really didn't feel up to it. I was just gonna suck it up and do it anyway. Well...my husband to the rescue again. I just really appreciate all the little things he does that he doesn't feel are a big deal. They are to me. THANK YOU, sweetie. I know you're reading this post.

Sweet! Thanks for posting the positive! I know it really helps me to remember why I fell in love with Scott and married him in the first place, and why I cannot imagine life without him. I'm glad you two are doing well.
Good luck with camp!
Hi CiCi. I'm a new blogger here and stumbled across your story--sounds similar to ours. I have to agree that it's best to focus on the positive. Honestly, I think our marriage and our home is probably more pleasant and loving than a lot of marriages and homes out there. We don't ever fight (we just have an occasional "discussion"), he works hard, is an amazing dad to our son, is a great house-wife (I work full-time, and he works strange hours so that he's home with our son for most of the day--he does most of the cleaning and cooking), and loves me (not exactly like most husbands love their wives, but he's sincere and loves me deeply in a different way). I am truly blessed and try to remind myself of that when I have a down day!
I just stumbled on this from Sarah's blog. I love your husband as he has been a great support to mine these last few months. I understand your struggles. Glad to find you. I hope you post more.
