Oops, I did it again

Let me start by saying that I had what turned out to be a very good day today. I didn't start it out the best. I let my temper get the better of me. I had a good day at work, mostly because our computers were down for two hours after lunch. That meant an extra long nap! I came home & fixed dinner, and began the evening at home. My lovely daughter decided that she needed some help with her homework. I was helping her the best I knew how when my very special wife told me that I was helping in a way that was pretty confusing. I think I have mentioned before that she is so much better at this marriage thing than I am. I took a step back and realized that I was getting excited and upset over NOTHING!!! I think I have mentioned before too that I am pretty much an idiot. I took some time away from homework and calmed down. I even got the chance to hold, in my lap, the most beautiful eleven-year-old you have ever seen in your whole life. I gave her a kiss and we sat on the couch hugging for a good minute! I don't care what you did today, but I know you didn't have as good a time as I did that last minute before the girl went to bed! I told her that she is all I have, and how much I love her. I can't imagine what I would do if anything ever happened to the wife and the girl! It is amazing how much you can truly grow to love someone when for so long I had professed being forever single.

It is now 10:50 and I am getting ready to go to bed. I know this post wasn't filled with any type of humor at all (which I had hoped would be my trademark). However, let me leave you with a little bit of my wisdom. Always Always Always realize that if you might be going overboard on something that isn't that big of a deal then step back & reassess the situation. You can always add to a conversation later, but you can never take back a word that you say. Things can come out before you know it, and you can't "UN-say" anything. Always know that there is someone who knows more than you do (my wife in this case), and be mindful of others feelings. Remember to treat others as you want to be treated. If you want complements then complement others. If you want praise then praise others. If you want love and respect then you MUST love and respect others first. I am no rocket scientist nor am I some great marriage counselor, but I know that you must be the nice one first in order for others to be nice to you. Have a good one. I am going to bed and lay down next to the most beautiful woman in the world.
