Kind of getting into this blogging thing, and I've been looking at other blogs, seeing what's out there.....
And I was reading a post on "Praise & Coffee" this morning. (here's the address if you want to check it out: http://praiseandcoffee.blogspot.com/ don't even ask me how I found it. I just start clicking away, can hardly find my way back!)
She asks the question "who is your husband's biggest fan? Who gives him the most kudos? Who toots his horn the most?" And goes on to explain it should be you. I think most of the time I do ok with this. As a matter of fact, I think I do a great job of tooting Scott's horn. (hee hee) No, what I mean is, I love to talk about how great he is to others. But I'm not so good at telling him how great he is.
On this other blog she asked about how you greet your husband when he comes home, do you show respect for what he does, and admiration? And I have to admit that just last night, when he came home...took him a very long time to get home, traffic was awful...the kids went bananas when he walked in the door. Loving on him, truly showing admiration, so glad to see him. What do I do? I undo their doings!! The thing I always accuse them of! Not only did I bring the craziness down a few notches, but I turned it into being about me. I said, "no one ever does that when I come home."
Eww. Ugly. Pride is so icky, and it's just everywhere. Talk about the power of words....

Interesting...when John called last night during his crawl home in the snowstorm, I answered less than enthusiastically. Yes, I was glad to hear from him but the frenzy of the dinner hour was released in my tone while speaking with him. The insightful man asked me about it and I spill my frustration on him. As I hung up I thought "boy,I bet he can't wait to get home now". Eww, Ugly,the power of a bad attitude!
Ah, yes. A very familiar scenario, indeed! Fortunately, they do keep coming home. God Bless our men!
