I was so frustrated yesterday with my husband and kids for not helping around the house. I have spent the past few days cleaning and organizing and explaining to my family how I wanted them to help me keep it up. I had had enough yesterday with no one helping so I took a day off and was a bum at home on the couch. Last night my husband decided to finally put his clothes away and do some laundry! I was very thankful he took the initiative to help out. I even helped him spray his work coat to get some of the stains out. I switched the loads before I went to bed and let them dry during the night. I never questioned him emptying his pockets cuz he is a big boy and should know how to do that.
This morning I got a text from my husband saying how sorry he is for the mess in the dryer and that he will take care of it after work...all I could think of is the pens that he carries in his shirt pockets and the wonderful art work that was left inside the dryer.
Now should I be upset? I am a little, he was helping me and doing laundry. That is a blessing that he did that, but just frustrated with the irresponsibility of not checking his pockets. Now I have black ink strips all over in my dryer. I guess I should just look at the little things and be very happy he was helping and forgive him for his mistake. Many of the life lessons God teaches me in Marriage...Forgiveness. What would I do with out it?
