I Love My Wife!

You know, I was in such a hury to get an entry in and on to other things that I totally missed on getting it in here how much I love my wife, and what a total ASS I can be most of the time.

My Wife does so much to keep our family together. We made an agreement to take turns with the dishes, etc. We were going to establish a regimen. She can stick to that stuff, but it gets hard for me. We failed utterly in trying to establish any since of duty in our daughter. Every time we ask her to do something, we get the "You ask me to do everything, always!" tantrum. Our son is starting to get the defiant attitude of his sister down too.

I want to have us all going back to church, getting daily prayer into our lives. I want to start reciting the Rosary every day. Funny how things change when you "grow up" and start a family of your own. If only there was a way to remain a kid forever :)

Anyway, the Wife does so much around here, and we don't. We don't even say thank you. I take my wife for granted and I am ashamed of it. How do I change that. I love my wife. THANK YOU! But quit your job and find one where you can work days!!! If only it were that easy.

I know that she has her wants and desires. But she manages to put us first. She even asks me if she can buy underware and stuff for herself! Man that makes me feel like scum. Me? I'm always thinking about what I can buy for myself next. Why is life like that? All guys are like that. Always thinking about themselves. Where women are always putting others before themselves. Men are just genetically born to be pigs. It's in our nature to carve notches in our belts. It all about territory. It's our animalistic nature. But God gave us the minds to control that part of ourselves. Some are better at it than others.

I want my Wife to have the things that she wants. I want those things too. I am just amazed by her at times. I know that she thinks I only ever think about myself. I really doubt that she stops to think that I ever feel this way. But there are times when all I can do is to watch her and be amazed...ashamed at myself. I love you my Wife! I know I say that everyday. But I love you. Did I say that I love you!
