I may not like him today, but I love him everyday!

I may not like him today,  but I love him everyday!

Famous quote from my loving mother, who has been married to my father for over 30 years.  Envision marriage as a wildlife safari, and not so much as a helpless romantic novel.  In a safari everyday is a new adventure. Today you bask in the serene beauty of the midday horizon, you watch the antelope frolic across the grassy plains, the air is fresh and the wind is pleasantly blowing through your hair while your racing through the savanna on a 4x4. Now, tomorrow, there is a different forecast! The sweltering heat is unimaginable, your about to have a heat stroke, the 4x4 ran out of gas and your walking miles on dangerous grounds....ROAR, Uhhhh, sounds like a hungry lion lurching.. Uh oh. But, all in all, taking a safari vacation is a once in a lifetime experience worth taking.

Going back to the title of this entry.  It's okay not to like him today. He's getting on your nerves. He didn't take out the overflowing trash that you asked him two days ago to dispose of. He left his mustache hairs on the bathroom sink you just cleaned.  He washed the clothes, but left them  on the couch for you to fold and put away. He comes in, walks past the closet and throws his coat on the couch.  He thinks he is always right.  He didn't trim the bushes. He has the nerve to call you a nag. Yup! You ain't gotta like him, but you love him because he's there rubbing your shoulders when you've had a rough day at work.  He's there providing the best for your family.  He's there praying for you.  He's there to make you laugh and he's there with an " I love you" text in the middle of day, just to make you smile. And he's there wiping the tear from your face because he doesn't like to see you cry.

Me and my sister/friends could go on and on about our hubbys and there half ass chores, their sometimes insensitive attitudes and their pure laziness, but when it all said and done we are still deeply in love with their crazy asses!
