I Love Clint!

It must have been a bit of a bad night last night or something because I was a little annoyed that Clint had left a paper towel sitting on the counter. It is probably just the fact that I feel like I am always cleaning up after him and the kids. So as I am sitting there being annoyed thinking about how easy it would have been to just throw the stupid thing in the garbage, I start thinking about how easy it is for ME to just throw it in the garbage. Then the thought hit me, at least he DID use the paper towel to cover the food he was heating in the microwave. I would much rather pick up a paper towel off the counter than wipe up the aftermath of heating uncovered food in the microwave. I think all too often I look for the bad in EVERYTHING. I am trying so hard to look for the good.
On that note I just wanted everyone to know how wonderful of a husband I have. He's pretty rough around the edges and he isn't by any means perfect but neither am I. I love him so much. And even better I know that he loves me. He is a great father. I know he would do just about anything for me. I don't know what I would do without him. I know he would give me the moon if he could and I asked him to.
I have been reading this book that either my mother-in-law or sister-in-law found. It is a really good book. It is by Dr. Laura (the radio talk show host) and is called "The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands" Holy cow! If you are a women's activist you won't like this book but chances are if you are one, you probably could use some of her advice. She has some great advice for how we can make or husbands feel loved and like the man of the house. I have told Clint a few of the things that I have read in this book and he agrees. It is things like when your husband comes home don't start on what a horrible day you have had, give him time to unwind. You should great him with a smile and a kiss. Act like you are glad he's home. Another thing is don't treat him like your best girlfriend. Guys don't get the ranting that we feel we have to do. If we tell them about our problems they are going to want to fix them. They want to be the knight in shining armor riding in on the white horse. There are so many good things in this book! Anyway I really think that if you haven't read it, you should. I am just finishing it and am trying to apply the things in my own marriage. I hope it makes a difference. Don't take it that we have a bad marriage because I don't think we do. I just think there is always room for improvement and if I can in little ways make my husband happier which in turn would make me happier I know I am going to try.
Anyway I didn't have any intentions of writing about that book. I just wanted you all to know that I LOVE my husband.
