the post where i talk about how tired i am and how great my husband is...

i think i've mentioned before that i'm constantly tired... right? have i? well if not, i am. if i hadn't had mono before and been told you can only have it once i'd think i had it again. if i didn't know that i am for sure not pregnant i may even be afraid of that. i'm that tired. it may have something to do with my sweet baby who's teething and crying all night. it may be the fact that these people i live with run through this house every day like tiny tornadoes and i am constantly cleaning up after them. maybe i'm just old. eh...

anyway, that's enough of that! as you can imagine, this time of year can be a bit stressful for those of who are, how do i say it... financially challenged! finding ways to pay the bills is hard enough throughout the year but add christmas and it becomes downright crazy. so for the last several weeks, my dear husband has been working in the mornings, before his regular job, with his uncle to earn extra cash for the holidays. that's 16 hour days, if you were wondering. this is nothing uncommon in our household. he's just a hard worker. he's always been a hard worker. but i just need to state how thankful for him i am! of course the money is nice, but more than that is the fact that he does so much for our family. like doing laundry when i'm too tired. or fixing the plumbing this past sunday when i'm sure he would have much rather been relaxing. or rubbing my back at night even though his must hurt more. he's a keeper. that's for sure. if i wasn't so tired i'd tell him more often :)
