Serving...and Bunny Trails

my husband is very good at it. he has been amazing this past week. i have been ordered out of work and to pretty much not move and keep my foot up for the next while. it's been absolute torture on me. i keep thinking of the bright side, being that i get to spend everyday with the loves of my life, snuggling, playing, and just being together. yesterday, i had a bad attitude. a very bad attitude. i didn't think i would miss going to work so much, but it's more than that. i feel like life just keeps handing me and my family more and more difficult situations to figure out and maneuver around. i feel like i just need a break. like a simple, wake up, go through the day, come home and do it all again simplicity kind of break. that's what my bad attitude was mostly about. i'm feeling "punished" which of course i know isn't true...but i FEEL that way. nothing is easy, nothing is predictable, and that annoys me. it seems like some people just have that mundane, easy sort of life. they complain about doing the same things over and over again and want to spice up their lives....me on the other hand....i long for mundane. i long to not read into everything, and try to avoid awkward situations that will come throughout my day...i long for predictable.

well, that was a bunny trail...back to serving. my husband is amazing. he has been thrust into the position of being single parent yet again. he has to bath, lift, feed, put to bed, etc my daughter, while i sit on the sidelines and try to reprimand her from a 200ft distance. she's not a dummy, she knows i can't get up to correct her. my husband it taking it so well though. when i need my meds, he's on it. when i need a drink, something to eat, he's on it. laundry, he's been getting it put away, dishes washed and put away. vacuuming, swiffering, dusting, cleaning bathrooms...he's been doing it all. i try to do little things, and he has me stay put. this morning, he made me breakfast, coffee, let me stay in bed (i don't sleep well since i have to stay in one position all night long). his back was sore, so i made an appointment with our chiropractor. he left and did some errands while my daughter and i just played and had a fun morning. my husband came home with flowers and donuts. he really knows how to take care of me. he's a hard working man, and i love that he takes pride in serving. he always says to love is to serve, and he makes sure he lives by that as well. i love him. he's my knight in shining armor! i will miss this pampering when i return to having 2 working legs!
