So I was pretty sure that after spending an entire
afternoon in the ER last Monday for dehydration,
being administered 2 IV bags,
and given a lovely prescription for a nausea medicine,
that I was going to be feeling awesome from then on.
I was wrong.
For the most part I have been feeling great;
last week I was finally able to sip water
without gagging, eat popsicles with only
minor heartburn, and nibble foods
while being able to convince myself that
"this is so delicious!"
This week, however; has been
more of a relapse.
I must first and foremost thank my
wonderful husband for all of the support,
love, and snacks.
I can't tell you how many times a day he gives me
hugs and encourages me to keep going and that,
"God has a plan in all this. It WON'T last forever!"
I just received a phone call from a florist
confirming that I will be home to accept a
flower delivery! This is my second
bunch of posies from my sweetheart in two weeks!
Yesterday I admitted to Peter that I was too sick
(spent the day in the bathroom or on the couch)
to make dinner, and I asked if he would be
willing to help me with it when he got home from work.
He said yes.
I was so surprised when he showed up at home an hour early
and took Sunny out to do some errands while Mama rested.
When he returned, he presented a delicious beef stew
from the local butcher
(I have been craving stew badly and was even considering
begging my mom to make some and mail it!),
AND
he brought home not just one dessert
but THREE
so that way,
I would be at least likely to
enjoy one of them!
WHAT A MAN!
He is such a great husband and father.

Single ladies,
I have a few tips for catching such a husband
for yourselves:
Pray for your future spouse (I prayed a novena
to St. Therese every night)
and try Catholic Match .com.
It sounds scary and maybe hokey to some,
but that's how I found my hubby.
I know several other married couples who met
the same way!
ALSO
Date his family and friends!
Everyone told me what a great guy he is,
all the nice things he did for them,
and how selfless he can be.
A person who is loved by all for the right
reasons must be worth your love as well.
It is hard finding motivation when you can't
figure which direction your stomach is going.
It takes all my strength to make sure my
18-moth-old doesn't get into harm while
I'm stuck on the couch.
I decided that my motivation is going to be
to love my husband back for all the kindness
he has bestowed upon me.
It may not be the most spiritual goal out there,
but any loving goal is better than
sulking about your miserable self all day.
I am going to go and grab another Tums
and enjoy the lovely bouquet
I just received from my
Darling!
*A delicate pink rose nestled among
pink baby's breath!*
(can it be an indication?!)
