Reasons I Love My Husband

The past few weeks have been rough for me. Let me give you a run down... (and a warning- I will be giving medical details.)

1. Bladder infection
2. Ear infection
3. Yeast Infection from the blessed antibiotics
4. Near pass-out at school when menstrual cramps knock me off my ass*


Appartently, the antibiotic that I was taking for the ear infection (after giving me a yeast infection) killed all but one super-bad bacteria in my gut and I ended up with some serious


5. Diarrhea



Now, after missing three days of work, and making another doctor's visit, I am finally getting a little energy back. I've been an emotional mess (due in part to my monthy visitor who popped up right before the diarrhea) and I think Sean is right when he said, "Weak body, weak mind." I have been close to tears for days, and I feel so spent.



Now, I'll probably start crying again when I tell you how wonderful my husband has been.



First, he sent me the most beautiful roses at school. He likes me to enjoy my flowers the entire week before Valentine's Day, and he always sends the sweetest note! This time, however, I was out sick and didn't get to enjoy my flowers at all. We both kept thinking I would get better and see the flowers the next day... but when I called my sub yesterday I just started crying! I missed the flowers arriving, and now I hadn't gotten to enjoy them for two days, and was about to miss out on them for another day.


I called Sean, and I think he realized just how miserable and exhausted I was. We got off the phone, and he called the doctor's office and made an appointment for me. Then he came home from work and brought my flowers! He called the school and had someone bring them up to the office! Next, he stopped at the grocery store and picked up some things to make me chicken soup (and he even looked up a recipe before he left work)! He was so cute out there making soup! He only asked a couple of questions about where things were, and he followed those directions to a T! Adorable!



I felt so much better when I saw those beautiful flowers and ate that amazing soup he made me!










I've never seen such beautiful roses. Really. And the soup was soooo good! Look how pretty it is!

He absolutely waited on me hand and foot the last few days. I just don't think there are lots of men out there who would leave work at a moment's notice and rush home to deliver flowers and make their wives homemade soup. (Now I'm crying) He's amazing. Love of my life.

And how embarrassing is it that I was home with terrible diarrhea!! I mean terrible. I know why old people can die from it now. That shit wipes you out. (Ha!) I can't end a post on a sad note!


*Received a text message from a friend whose daughter I taught last year, "Are you OK?" Of course, I think she's talked to my mother-in-law who drove me home... but NO. She saw a text on her daugher's cell phone that says, "Mrs. Hale passed out at school!" Great... I'm the subject of junior higher's text-messages.
