Smell the Roses

Posted in Hubby, Musings, tagged , , on August 18, 2010| 2 Comments »

My Wednesday Shout-Out this week goes to my Hubby.

Yes, I am sappy. I freely admit it. But you have to cut me some slack. Please. I kind of like Captain Cavedweller.

I’ve had some challenging days recently and the little bit of rope keeping me tied to my sanity is starting to unravel. Hubby is fully aware of the fact and has been on the suffering end of my craziness. So I was really surprised when I came home to find this beautiful bouquet of flowers from him.

Suddenly all the chaos didn’t seem quite as important.

It is really nice being married to someone who, when I need it most, reminds me to stop and smell the roses, to slow my run down to a walk, to take a deep breath and just be.

Maybe that’s why I like him so much. That and his panache.

He’s Got Panache

Word of the Week: panache

pa·nache

puh-nahsh

–noun

a grand or flamboyant manner; verve; style; flair:

The other day, Hubby and I were having our typical end of the day chat about work, family and life in general when, during the course of conversation, he threw in the word “panache.”

I was so surprised, I think my jaw must have dropped and I was rendered utterly speechless. (Believe me, that doesn’t happen often!). In the 17 plus years I’ve known him, I have never once heard Hubby use the word “panache” let alone use it in such a way that it was not only properly used but also with a great deal of humor.

That Hubby of mine never fails to surprise me. Maybe it’s just part of his unique panache.

Exhaustion

Word of the Week: exhaustion

ex·haus·tion

ig-zaws-chuhn

–noun

1.

the act or process of exhausting.
2.

the state of being exhausted.
3.

extreme weakness or fatigue.
I came to the conclusion that Hubby was exhausted after a very long day of work out in the sun Saturday. He went to bed early and slept and slept and slept. I began to be concerned when he was still sleeping when I left for church. I was quite worried to find him asleep when I got home and was ready to hit the panic button when he was still sleeping a couple of hours later. Frequent checking assured me he was still breathing. But I can’t tell you how glad I was to see him finally wake up about 3 p.m. yesterday afternoon.
This morning, he was back to his normal obnoxious self. I can’t tell you glad I am about that!
With this warm weather we are having, make sure you stay hydrated, don’t spend extended periods of time out in the sun if you can help it and get plenty of rest!
