perspective

I'm sitting at my computer, feeling sorry for myself, because my dh called and asked which evening would be best for him to work late. Huh? With 4 kids, one a 17-day old baby??? None! was my first response, especially after he had drill this past weekend, and left me alone w/all those kids. But that was hardly helpful. And since he was calling at 5:30pm, 90 minutes after he was supposed to be leaving work, I figured why not tonight, since he's going to miss most of it anyway. Yep, I am wallowing in self-pity right now.

Then, as I'm checking email, I stumble across a link to the Army's new ad, with their new slogan, "Army Strong." [tried to link here, but wasn't working, so if you want to watch, go to photobucket and search 'army strong'] And I'm reminded of all that my dh is doing to serve our country, and all he does for me as well. Like getting up w/that new baby at 4:30am and feeding him so I could sleep in. Or leaving me his cellphone, since mine has mysteriously disappeared, because he isn't comfortable w/me not having a phone. And that's just this week. So, no more pity party for me. Guess I'll have to be grateful instead. LOL, boy that sounded great, didn't it?!? Seriously, it was a good reminder of all the things I am blessed to have in my life.
