When you've got a husband like mine!
I've been having back problems lately and just today, I realized why they were getting worse. I came down with the dreaded flu. Blah! This was actually great news for me. I was happy to know my back wasn't getting worse. I can handle a little flu, but being a hunchback, no thank you!
I messaged my man and told him the "good" news and he of course was very sympathetic as a sweet husband ought to be. I usually attend open gyms for cheer on Wednesday nights but tonight I thought I better take a rain check because who knows what germs those disgusting blue mats hold that could only make it worse.
Blake was super sensitive and tried to be overly compassionate on the phone and through text. I told him I'd just stay home tonight and clean and get things done around the house. Well apparently, that wasn't allowed to happen when I'm sick.
He rushed home after work, cleaned the entire house, stopped by the store to get me soup, and then... it gets better.
I walk in and he's scrubbing the counter. He stops for a second to give me a very distant hug (so as not to catch my bug). Then I look around and the house is spotless. Like better than it's ever been. Then I look in the bedroom and he had this whole little setup. He had soup, water, a Jamba Juice and a large bowl (for projectile vomiting :) ) on my nightstand, a large crate of DVDs at the foot of the bed, a clean towel (which doesn't sound like much, but we keep them on the top shelf in the laundry room and he got it down so I wouldn't have to climb), my laptop and iPad, fully charged, were on the bed, and the best part... a burrito blanket! If you don't know what a burrito blanket is, it's the way he wraps me up in the blankets. He had the blankets very strategically placed to where I would be fully wrapped, yet still have the complete use of my arms. He made me climb in bed right away and he wrapped me up before he left.
It might not sound like much to some, but after the day I had today, I almost started crying once I saw all he had done. I'm so blessed to have such an incredible, caring husband. He can drive me crazy sometimes (superhero crazy I mean), but my gosh, he is an angel! Thanks babe!
