Dinner Tonight

I had one of those "terrible, awful, low-down, very bad" days today, so my sweet hubby made dinner this evening. I can count on one hand the number of times he has cooked for me (besides frozen pizza), so tonight was a big treat. He had just gotten home from work (after driving an hour and a half), took one look at me, and headed to the kitchen. Covered in oil and diesel he started whipping up porkchops and au gratin potato cakes. I wandered in and I dont know which was sweeter... the thought of not cooking tonight, or knowing he was dead on his feet, sacrificing his shower for me. To some people, this may sound like no big deal. For a mother of three with a schedule like ours, it is heaven. Also, it brings me back to the many months of two prior deployments when I was on my own. So, as I close this little blog I am thinking of you ladies out there reading that have husbands away from you right now. I just want you to know that even though I thoroughly enjoyed the moment my Keith gave me, I had you in my thoughts.
