50 reasons why I love my Husband

Today anyway..... No I am just kidding, I knew that when I took my vows 5 1/2 years ago, that he wasn't perfect... he just so happened to be marrying the perfect woman...I am allowed to say that right?
It didn't matter that we had done things backwards and had our daughter first, or that the during the rehearsal I laughed so hard trying to rehearse the vows tha tI am sure my inlaws thought I was crazy- to this day I remember VIVIDLY hearing my Mother in law say to me "you better get this right Chrissi, this is serious buisness, you can't laugh tomorrow"...DUDE does she realize who her son was marrying??? It didn't matter that the preacher we had picked to marry us was an idiot who didn't show her true colors until the night of the rehearsal, or that one of our groomsman got into a knock down drag out in our parking lot of our townhouse development and was not going to show up for the wedding. It didn't matter that we spent the night before our wedding together.... or that my stepfather offered to whisk me out the back door as we were walking down the aisle... I was just convinced that marriage was going to be EASY~! who was I freakin kidding? 3 kids and 5 1/2 years later, layoffs, nursing school, moves, bed rest, labors, c sections. we have seen it all... kinda. and still my husband remains loyal, steadfast and STILL helps around the house and with the kids. what kind of man is that?

So today I get home from work- at 8 am. for those of you that don't know me I work m idnights- the glorious midnight shift on a dementia, traumatic brain injury, alzheimers and these days PSYCH wardas an LPN. - so i don't often get alot of sleep, and often I am a walking talking bitch. I get that, i know that , and i frequently apologize for it.I also am back in school. 2-3 nights a week also cutting into valuable sleep time. the hubster works second shift so I average about 3-5 hrs a day of sleep and live for my days off or his. so anyway this am I get home at 8 am or so- and I CRASHED. literally- I don't remember speaking to anyone this am, hell I don't remember going to bed, must have though because I literally spent 13 hrs in bed today- the hubster {or as my sister dear and I affectionalty call him the D-Man, and I swear that her, the D-man and I are the only ones who REALLY know what the D in d-man stands for and no its not his first name, however I won't tell... unless you pay me handsomely of course} woke me up at 2 so that he could go get diapers or something at walmart I think it was diapers- maybe he just needed to run away far far away. anyway he was back at 330 and i was back asleep. he took care of all 3 kids today, did laundry, cleaned the boys room AND made dinner- what kind of man is that? well the D-man is awesome. so today is my ode to the D-Man- as he will be hereafter known in my blogs.
