I am so thankful for my husband, who is a great husband and super dad. He is incredibly busy with gigs over the next two months-very good for the bank account-but always tough because he is out almost every day.
Last night, I could feel myself succumbing to what is probably bronchitis, after a month of everyone else being sick. I went to school and taught with minimal voice and now I am ready to crawl into bed. After canceling Connor's therapy this afternoon, I asked Tom to get the boys from daycare and handle them for the evening. He took them to the park, got them dinner, handled all of the dinner drama (and there is a LOT of that lately) and after making some more business calls, is now playing Star Wars with the boys. Tomorrow, he is taking them to a parade and will probably get most of the boy detail so I can shake this cold without taking any days off this week. (we are off tomorrow)
This past weekend, he took some well-deserved time to go for a long hike on Piestawa Peak on his own. He helped me with grocery shopping on Sunday before his gig. He helped with bath time after the gig too. The nice part of this time of year is that he gets to play a lot and it is obviously fulfilling for him. There is a lot of great music to look forward to and despite the grueling schedule, he enjoys performing.
So, as I get ready to crawl under my down comforter (I know, it's like 68 degrees here....brr!) and watch some tv, he is busy with two very loud and happy boys, getting them ready for bed. I am just grateful for all of the little things that he does for all of us, because the little things make such a difference.
He is loved very, very much!

I admire your relationship (and probably envy it a bit too). I'm glad you have Tom and he you. I'm glad the world has both of you. I'm going to send some reiki as soon as I post this. Feel better.
Linda,
I am thankful for you too. You handle the boys and the little things around the house. You make regular day to day stuff fun. You keep our family steady.
I know I am not around a lot this time of year. I am either working or playing concerts, but I try to do my best for you and the boys when I can. Rest up and feel better. You have tomorrow off!
Love T
Yeah for Thomas! Hope you two can find some time for yourselves to enjoy your day off!
It's so nice that you have a great hubby & dad to your boys.
I hope you feel better after resting yesterday!
Cheers for great dads! Meanwhile, enjoy the covers--and drink some hot tea! Hope you feel better!
