ode to the husband

Mister.
thank you.
thank you for being such a great daddy. you put up with the screaming, laughing, crying, whining but mostly the screaming. i know it drives you crazy.
thank you for having such stamina at the park. i can only last 5 minutes before wanting to pull my eye lashes out.
i'm okay with the kids loving you more than me. you deserve it. and you can totally have them.
thank you for being kind, tender, gentle, lovingly firm and a teacher to them. that's how a daddy is suppose to be.

thank you for marrying me. and for shutting up when i moan about how i'm the only one who cleans up the house. you just let me rant and ignore me. that's what a husband is suppose to do.
thank you for telling me i look beautiful nearly everyday. and thank you for still saying it when every day i just look at you with a scowl. i don't ever feel beautiful, i don't know if i will ever believe you but it's sure nice to hear and it lets me know two things. one- your crazy. two- you love me no matter what.
thank you for giving up your sleep so that i can have sleep. that is the most generous thing you will ever do for me.
that, and letting me watch dr. quinn. because we all know that's a losing battle.
thank you for having a job, one that you hate mind you. every time i drop you off at the train station my heart is grateful that you can deal with it. because i know i could NEVER do your job and not get fired with in the day.
i miss you dear buddy. i miss our laugh fests. (hey, did you notice that the ruins looks like the runs. bahahahahahahhaha) i miss our zombie bodies sitting on the couch staring blankly at the t.v. screen. doesn't that sound just so romantic?
i do hope all is well and that your awake at work. i would understand if you weren't but i think they would frown upon work-sleeping. until we meet again, i love you....
***you know i'm going to get utter crap for this post right? you're totally worth it though.****
