Seriously...TGFH! (Thank God for Husbands!)

Man, am I eating a big ol' piece of HUMBLE PIE this week!!!
My husband had to go out of town this week for work. This doesn't happen often, but I cringe every time it does! You see, every time he has had to go out of town, the world crashes down! I don't know what it is, maybe I am cursed? One of the first times he had to go, Kirsten was a baby, in fact it was the week she had her first birthday..the morning before her birthday she woke up and could not breath, she was as white as a ghost..I took her to her Dr. (he was right around the corner) and he sent us strait to the hospital. She spent her first birthday in the hospital! She also learned to walk while there. My husband's company was willing to fly him home on an emergency flight, but we opted not to as she was stable and my mom and his dad were with us..and that was just the first trip! I've been in a car accident while he was gone, and many other issues! This time no one ended up in the hospital or in a wreck, however, I did have car trouble, my truck we've had for about 6 years ran HOT for the first time, I mean really HOT, the needle above the red line hot. I had one of my daughter's tumbling coaches check the fluids and they were fine. My father in law insisted he bring me his truck to drive home and he took our truck I also received some earth shaking news that if we did not pay our HOA fees they would put a lein on our house, and put us into immediate foreclosure (you know what I have to say to that? TAKE IT PLEASE!) GREAT! I did not know they were not paid yet, we'll get that taken care of, but the point of it all is I realize, I CANNOT DO THIS ALONE! I commend all you single parents who do this alone all the time! I realized how much I depend on my husband to help make things run smoothly! Seriously, I'm about to pop a zanex (is that even spelled right? it's obvious I don't take that stuff!) lol. Anyway, so as he is on his way home from Charlotte, I am busting tail to make sure he is welcomed home to a clean, peaceful home..where he will be greeted with a HUGE thank you and apology for my arrogance that I "Got this" HA! I know now..I DON'T! Jesus is teaching me A LOT lately, one of them is unconditional LOVE for myself, husband and family...with a special focus on my husband, as we have had the most trying year of our life together. Lesson learned, notes taken..now, PLEASE JESUS..don't send him out of town again..for a LONG TIME..for I'm afraid the next time our house my burn down around us! LOL (not literally I hope, but figuratively)..oh yeah, on a funny side note, I now LOATHE gum!!! my husband has always had this disdain for gum, and I just could not get why he would get so mad if he saw someone spit gum out. He said that he always steps in it, which I know is gross, but not a huge deal, more inconvenient than anything..HOWEVER...this morning as I was leaving the store (in a hurry I might add) I stepped in gum, now mind you, I live in FLORIDA where the heat index is around 110 every day..this gum was liquefied..and now, it is ALL over the bottom of my shoe, and to make matters worse, I did not discover it until I put my foot on the floorboard of my father in laws truck (he is a CLEAN FREAK) this will not make him a happy camper! Then it found it's way to the bottom of my jeans, yeah, you ever try to get gum out of clothes!? Luckily one of the items I just purchased was baby wipes, so, our way to ballet, my prissy daughter was wiping gum off my shoe (which I secretly LOVED!) I promptly called my husband and said "you will NEVER hear me complain again about your disdain for gum as I now share it) I hung up the phone and found the gum had metastasised to my bare foot and ankle and up the leg of my jeans!
