How Do I Survive?

That's a good question that I keep coming back to over and over! Life does seem a bit crazy lately with the two jobs, 4 kids, juggling everyone's schedules and still finding the time to work out. The only reason that I am able to push on every day is because I have such a wonderful husband who has been there for me and our children in every sense of the word. This man is truly unbelieveable! He works 10 hours days, on his feet..comes home, tends to the children, we take turns cooking....but he does the dishes 90% of the time! He does most of the laundry. He cleans the house when I'm working. He makes sure there is coffee and a hot dinner waiting for me when I get home late. He wakes up early on his days off and shuffles the kids to and from school.
Not only that, but he waits on me to get home before doing his own workout so that we can workout together! I know he's exhausted by that time! He is the reason that I started BFL, and he is the only reason that I can continue living BFL. If he hadn't been helping out so much, I would have already lost my mind, and would have quit completely by now!
So no...I'm not Wonder Woman, or a Super Mom or anything of the sort. I'm just a real live woman with a husband that puts more than 100% in of taking care of me and ours.
I hope that I can quit the part-time job soon, but will patiently wait until that day comes. I hope he can too! Sometimes in the midst of chaos we can neglect to tell our loved ones just how much we appreciate them. I know I do not take what I have for granted, but I wanted to take the time out to my hubby to tell him THANK YOU, and I LOVE YOU for being the wonderful man you are!
