Day 3...or 4?

So I'm still a bit behind but slowly catching up. I'm not even quite sure what challenge I am on right now....

Already starting behind, then Sunday afternoon I came down with a 24 hour bug and spent Sunday night and Monday completely miserable...Then yesterday my son was not quite right so the day was spent with him. I still managed to fit in some of my challenges though...the strength of a woman! =)

I decided that for my hubby's meal I would make a good lunch for him Sunday. He had been fishing all weekend so what better then to come home to a home-cooked meal after eating junk for 3 days? Well, didn't go as planned. I had made beef stroganaff (one of his very favorites) and it was just finishing up as he came home (perfect timing!) My vison of him coming in and thanking me for the meal, what a great surprise it was and how hungry he was for a good meal did not happen. Instead it was more him laying down on his chair and saying "I am really hungry honey, but I'm so exhausted I think I need to sleep first." So he went to sleep and the meal went in the fridge. It was disappointing...knowing that I put an extra effort in and it seemed to go unnoticed and unappreciated. He did eat a huge helping later that evening, but the moment was ruined for me as I had already started feeling sick at that point and spent the rest of the night curled up in little ball, trying not to lose everything I ate that day.

He stepped up though and took care of all of our sons needs and they both came and sat down on the bed with me before bed. I casually slipped in, "Daddy takes such good care of you, isn't he a great dad" As far as I could see the comment went unnoticed. I didn't see a reaction. I was also not at my best at this point so I'm going to stay with my belief that he appreciated the comment.

So still working on the challenges...we were a little back tracked yesterday as we left the house screaming at each other about all things?? The dogs. Who is suppose to take care of them and whose dog is whose, and I'm not taking care of YOUR dog, well then I'm not taking care of YOUR dog. I think just writing it down right now really helps me see what a crazy conversation it was! Was that really what I was so upset about?? I'm almost embarrassed to even write it down. I guess it wasn't really worth being upset about, but truly I was upset most of the day!! I am still working on my own flaws and am just proud of myself for being able to see how ridiculous I was also being about the whole situation.

So I still have my muscles challenge to do, along with spending time doing something he enjoys. I have to say I'm already feeling a bit on edge about this muscle challenge, but that's why it is a challenge I guess! Guess I will see how he responds, but in my head I'm picturing him looking at me like I'm an idiot, or telling me to stop making fun of him. But....i guess my vison for the meal wasn't anywhere near the reality so I'll do it!
