A couple of weeks ago right after I found out my work load was going to increase I was having a time with trying to decide what to do….quit or try and work around a schedule agreeable with me and the office. I was sitting in a McDonald’s parking lot at lunch talking to my husband on the phone (as we usually do on my lunch hour) crying and carrying on about the situation….on one hand I didn’t want to give up my job, but on the other hand I am not going to work full time (and he doesn’t want me to either). So he just started asking me what I wanted to do and giving me some very good advice….he said whatever I decided to do he was behind me 100% and would support whatever decision I came to. It felt like a weight lifted off my shoulders….just knowing I wasn’t in this by myself (and I knew I wasn’t anyway…it just helped to hear him put into words what I couldn’t) has made this change a little easier for me. I then started crying like a baby but they were tears of gratitude that I had someone in my corner during this stressful time.
Of course, two days after I started my “new” hours started is when my mama fell and broke her arm so that took care of the 8-5 hours they wanted me to work and I was able to stick with the hours I originally wanted.
But that night after our conversation, he had arranged for a masseuse to come to the house to give me a one hour massage!!!! And then I got another one the next week…..in fact he wants me to have one every week since I’m so stressed……ahhhhh….(or maybe I should say “meow”) I think I can handle that!
Wow! I believe you hit the jackpot when you nabbed him! I love to hear of a thoughtful husband like that. I know my husband tells me a happy wife makes a happy life. I believe your husband must've heard that one too. Ha! Glad that you're getting some "me" time and getting de-stressed. Stress is a silent killer!
ReplyDeleteOMGoodness Judy...what a sweetie you got there!!!! That's what we call a real keeper...been praying for your mom and I hope that she is getting better.

Judy,
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like hubby's a keeper. :))

What a sweet hubby!!
ReplyDeleteIt is such a blessing to have a spouse who can see the stress and find something to alleviate it before it effects the marriage! Such a blessing!!! Hope your sweet mom is on the mend!
ReplyDeleteoh now wasn't that sweet! Can you have him give my hubby a call...just sayin'
ReplyDeleteJudy that is some wonderful man you have. How sweet and thoughtful he is.
ReplyDeleteYour hubby sounds a lot like mine! We are both blessed! Love the kitty picture ~ too cute!!
ReplyDeleteWow! Ummm..when you get tired of that guy send him this way....or at least send the masseuse over! It is hard to make some of those decisions, isn't it? Just went through that myself. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteYour hubs sounds like mine, always concerned about me and never about himself.
ReplyDeleteDon't let that man out of your sight... He's a keeper. Enjoy your massages, you deserve them!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful gift of support from your husband.
ReplyDeleteI've had my times crying in various parking lots and just hearing someone say they are behind me makes all the difference!
