Just Sayin’

I’m 99.9 percent sure my husband questions my sanity on a daily basis. He’s not totally wrong. 

I know I can get a little nutty sometimes. So, I get it. But, here’s why. I am now four people. I am me, him, our daughter and our son. Oh, wait; throw in two dogs. I’m them, too! I’m now a person divided into many pieces. And I love it. But it causes the crazy to shine through sometimes. Hey, I’m trying.

Life is funny. For the longest time, I was just me! But then I got married and I became “we.” Matthew is about the most easy-going human I’ve ever known. So it’s not like he puts restrictions on me. But the days of just doing whatever I please whenever I please aren’t exactly happening anymore. Especially now that our “we” includes two kids and two animals! Life is just different now. I recently bought a shirt that says Chaos Coordinator. That about sums it up!

I know that I bring certain things to the table for our family. But Matthew has his own unique gifts that complete the circle. I also know that he’s silently losing his mind amidst the daily circus that is our life much more often than he speaks of; he’s just not as outward about it. And I appreciate that because—well, see first paragraph above! Hey, it’s all about balance, right?!

While I do feel like I’m in charge of mostly everything, most of the time, I want to give a shout-out to my man and to all of the hard-working husbands and fathers out there who may not always feel appreciated. You. So. Are. We see you. And we appreciate you. ■
