  Challenge ~ Day 11

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  I love my husband's level of dedication. He doesn't commit to much, but when he does he never disappoints. If he says he's going to do something, you can be sure he's going to do it. We'll work on getting him to commit to doing more when he finally gets out from behind the wheel of that truck! For now we'll take a weekend away occasionally, or a little family road trip once a month or so, maybe throw in a little honey-do once in a while. He doesn't get a lot of time at home, so I don't want to eat it all up for him. Lately he's had a few extra days here and there, though, so we've been doing things, but until he has a more "normal" schedule and can actually be in his own house a little more often, I'm really not asking him for many commitments.
  
  He's committed to his home life, his family. He does what he has to to keep the place up and to see to our needs. He tries to get the kids the things they'd like to have. But more than that, most importantly to me, He'd rather be here with us than anywhere. I make myself mindful of that one thing often. What a blessing. what a wonderful, wonderful blessing! I know many families who don't have that, and I thank God that I'm so blessed!
  
  He's committed to his job. He almost never misses a day. I can't remember the last time he missed one it's been many years. I know people who call in "sick" once in a while just to have a break. They're sick alright! Sick of their job! My husband's not just real crazy about his job, either, but he'd never lie to anyone and say he was sick just to get a day off. I've seen him feeling so bad that I couldn't imagine someone working like that, but he did. Just a few weeks ago he had a horrible abscessed tooth. His face swelled up and it was pounding and throbbing! It was terrible! If you've ever had an abscess, you know! It's horrible! He couldn't take any pain medicine because he drives a truck. But he worked like that for days before the antibiotic gave him any relief! It's partly because he's so tough (maybe that's my topic for day 12!) but it's also because he's dependable.
