New Respect... DAY 2

I have to say that being home for that last week has made me appreciate what a mom does on daily basis much more. I have found myself doing things that I don't like, but also doing things that I take for granted with my wife. My wife is seriously ridiculous!!!  She can do like a 100 things at one time and do them all well.  Most of these things are really hard to and what I have found is that none of it is fun.  I get to go to work, talk with people, take a lunch break, goof off, laugh, make new friends, grow in Christ, goof off a little more, get on the Internet and much more.  Now my wife doesn't get a lot of those chances being a stay at home mom.  This week I have found myself doing...

laundry 

dishes 

putting up dishes

taking out the trash 

cleaning the house

taking care of Caroline's every need

straighting the house

making beds 

cleaning bathrooms

fixing lunch 

disciplining my daughter 

giving baths every night to both daughters 

staying up all night with Emma

staying up all night holding Caroline while she throws up everywhere (last night was rough)

I will say that I do some of these things sometimes but not everyday.  I look at this list and I am blown away by the person I married.  I come home and rarely hear how bad her day was, and if I had to do this everyday I would probably be pretty negative.  I have a whole new respect for moms. I will never take them for granted again.  My wife is an amazing person and I am so thankful she married me.  

So today take sometime and thank about all the things that your loved one does for you. Whether it be your spouse, parents, or best friend.  Think about how special they are to you and how blessed we are to have them in our lives.  May we treat them with the respect they deserve.  

Remember I am blogging everyday this week so cya tomorrow!!
