Help is on the Way! (Christmas Came Early)


Either I am a really rotten housekeeper or I just have a VERY thoughtful husband...or BOTH! Jason just gave me my Christmas present a little early. Starting in January someone will be cleaning our house every other week. I am in shock. I might just go spill something and let it get good and sticky over the next few weeks just so someone else can clean it. (Not necessary. I have three kids. I'll let them handle that.)
*
Jason gave me a note, written ever so eloquently in green crayon - on the back of a torn paper that Betsie had scribbled on. Somewhere in the note was the phrase, "I know you need help." Yes, it's true. I do need help. I did laugh at his presentation, but it was oh, so sweet. Actually, since he also said, "I love you," and is sending someone to rescue me every other week, I am considering that little note a treasure to keep.

I have been teasing him, but it is such a thoughtful gift. It shows that he knows me and he cares about me. He knows I am struggling to teach and plan and clean and get the raisins out of the bathroom sink all at the same time. He is lightening my load and I am so grateful. God has surely blessed me with a husband who is living with me in an understanding way. I will remember his kindness every time SOMEONE ELSE cleans my bathrooms!

Thank you Honey! I love you!
