TGOF: Thank God On Friday

First and for most it's been so long since I did one of these I am thankful that I remembered it!

I am thankful for support from my family and from my ultimate best friend. It's been kind of a rough... week? Weird month even I suppose...

I am thankful for my mommy. She listened to me vent and gave advice in all the right pauses. I'm so glad I have her, I have a good relationship with her, and she's so helpful in so many ways.

I am thankful for my hubby whom I am going to brag on for a moment. Earlier this week he saved a man's life that was suffocating in a house fire. His courage astounds me. But outside his career and passion for fire fighting; I am thankful for his passion for being a father and husband. No he didn't build his own billboard proclaiming to be father of the year or husband of the century, ... yet. He is so great with our kids! So many women I've come in contact with don't have what I have for a number of reasons. I am blessed to have him.
Then last night he did a lovely thing. I had made plans to take a "girls day" with my mom and aunt, something I never do... can't really remember the last time I did anything like that... any who, Big Daddy thought he would have the day off from the quarry (second job) and agreed to watch the kids. Then yesterday he found out he was suppose to work. He told me when he got home and apologized, he had asked his parents but they had already made plans. I was just gonna skip out rather than begin calling and begging for a kind of "last minute" babysitter. I just said " That's fine I'll go another time". I suppose my disappointment reared it's frumpy head on my face even though I tried not to. He immediately picks up his cell phone, calls the supervisor at the quarry, and says he is unavailable for that day. To make it clear how quick this reaction was, I was still standing in front of him, the words "another time" were bearly out of my mouth. Two things here, awwww that he did it, and double awwww because he knows if he would have said anything to me I would have told him to not do anything like that. He did it in a way I couldn't argue with. It was a done deal. When I did try to protest after he hung up he simply said " no, it's done. I know you need this and I think you deserve it". I defiantly have a husband I am thankful for.
