I know that Jon does SO much for me. I know that he helps out. I know that he does more that most husbands and father’s do. Seriously, he’s freakin’ amazing and I’m a wench for complaining.

In spite of this, I still complain. I wish that he did the kitchen clean up everyday, instead of most of the days. I wish that he didn’t work so much. I know that he’s just trying to provide for our family, but still…..

I wish that he would pitch in more around the house. I know, I know! I sound like a heartless witch! I have the best guy, who does so much, and I really do appreciate him, and yet I complain….

How ungrateful can I be?

It’s hard when I realize just how much he does, because I have to do ALL the things that he normally does. For example, right now I have to referee the kids every hour that they are awake. It’s so much easier to just say “talk to your father” half the time. I have to clean the dishes after every meal every day for the next 12 days. I love it when he does the dishes, even if it isn’t after every meal, every day! I have to put all three kids to bed every night for the next 12 nights, and do “the bedtime routine” and if it isn’t just perfect and exactly like daddy does it then woe is me! I love that he puts the kids to bed just about every night! I have to do ALL the laundry and ALL the house clean up, and ALL the homework and make ALL the lunches for school, and even the swimming lessons. Don’t even get me started on the swimming lessons. It’s not even Wednesday yet, and I’m already dreading the hour of swimming lessons in the human stew of filth that is the Rec. Center.

I really miss Jon! I miss you babe! And not just for what he does around the house and with the kids – although that’s a sweet bonus! I really miss him. I miss him sitting in the TV room working on his computer while I watch a movie. I miss him farting and snoring in bed! Sorta – well, I just miss him in bed (and not how you all are thinking, well I guess that too, but seriously, we’re getting off track here). I miss him being there in the morning. I miss talking to him. I miss hearing him on the phone wasting time building rapport and talking to a client. I miss hearing about his day, and what he’s frustrated with. I miss him being annoyed with me for being on the computer when he wants to talk to me(although with trying to do the job of two people, I’ve hardly had any time on the computer the past few days).

I really miss his smile and his laugh! I really miss him. I miss you tons and tons!

Makes you realize and appreciate what you do have, when you don’t have it right in front of you.
