Alone and In Love

It's Sunday morning and my family went to church without me. My head is pounding but the truth, which I confessed to The Man, is I just desperately needed a couple hours alone. "I'm drowning in children," I said. "I just need to come up for air."

One of our pastors is doing a series on marriage. The wives took their medicine last week and today it's the husband's turn.

"Go without me, honey, and learn how to be a good husband already!" I said with a grin.

And then I chuckled at my joke as he cheerfully herded our four spit-shined children out the door and into the minivan.

That man should be teaching the class.

Wow! What a guy!
I once asked my hubby to take the boys to church with him while I was sick and he looked at me like I was nuts. He left the youngest home with me while he took the older two. I guess I'll take what I can get.
Hope you are feeling more relaxed. :)
