Dennis is wonderful. There really isn't another way to say it. He is so caring, generous, giving, sweet, kind, loving, fun, silly; all those positive adjectives that you can give someone. I knew all of that when we were first together. Now that he is a Dad...he blows me away.
Not only does Dennis work two very demanding jobs, he has to deal with me. I am a great catch, hehe, but I know that I am not always a picnic. When he gets home from working two jobs, I run out the door to my job while he handles the home-front.
Let me explain what that entails...he gets to play with the boys when they are at their grumpiest. Give them dinner (which sometimes I have, but other times he is on his own). Baths, brushing teeth, stories, tucking in, falling asleep himself only to wake up and come downstairs to clean up...sometimes ;p before I come home.
Now, I know that in today's society, the husbands are doing their fair share. But when Dennis does it, he does it without complaint; making sure that the boys and I are happy; then he might think of himself.
Sure I might whine and complain, but, I tend to do that. No matter what, Dennis is the best Hhusband and Father that I could have asked for!!
I love you Denno...your my bestest pal :)

silver linings
Gosh, I was being such a whiner today! I hate it when the boys do it, but I do know where they get it from!! Today could have been a really bad day...Freddy was feverish yesterday, I haven't been sleeping good, RJ is still recovering, I had to pull a tick off of Liam today, the van was giving me problems, bills, bills, bills...etc.
I started to go my usual path of: I am terrible, I suck, blah blah... Dennis had to come home to rescue me from the post office and then to help me with the car. He gave me a funny look and said "well, try to have a good day." I was driving to Usher Park to meet with our friends for playgroup. A little to chilly for the beach, but the park area is really nice. When we got there I still had a headache, the place was really crowded (Head Start picnic was also going on), and the twins were being grumps.
I got out of the car, headed over to our group, let the boys out, and then got a hug from Meghan. All better...
Seriously, everything was so much better then. I still had a headache, but was able to ignore it so that me, and my iced coffee could climb the jungle gym with my boys. They were having such a good time on the slides, swings, and climbing apparatus!! I bonked my head many times while trying to be a kid and climb through everything with them. It started to sprinkle, but Aarika with her bag of tricks produced a CD player which we took to the pavilion and played music and danced. Once Liam and RJ had enough I packed everyone in (the car started in one try), and went home.
Even though I really didn't feel all that great today, and things seem to be coming down all around us; the boys and I got to have 2 hours of fun with our friends at the park. In the end, it was a good day :)
