So, It's almost 4am and i'm on call at the bon-bon and dealing with pissy (can i say that on the internet?) parents who don't want their baby to be stuck with an iv...but that iv delivers fluids and meds that this particular baby REALLY, REALLY needs, so I just dragged my grumpy self up to the room to talk some sense into them. At times like these I really want to say what I think of such business, but alas, I do not. And then perhaps alas more, i start thinking how great a person i am that I do not say those things. terrible I know. (I am very aware that I think them, which is a different post.) Then in my A.D.H.D. stream of consciousness mind, I start thinking how great I am at other things, such as playing addictinggames.com, laying on the couch and watching football, and being a husband..so that lead to this list of 5 things off the top of my head of exactly why I am such a good husband (if I say so myself), and at 0400 they seemed funny to me (read: great excuse for why these will not be funny at all).
In no particular order:
5) Bought surprise tickets for my wife to the ballet for our anniversary
4) Giving up a free, 3rd row ticket to the titans/steelers game tomorrow to spend time with my wife
3) I don't get in the way of my wife's cleaning tasks and let her do them mostly all herself because she doesn't like the way I fold stuff, and doesn't like the way i put some dishes away and doesn't like the way that i put silverware back in the drawer, and doesn't like the way i do most other cleanings either.
2) I allow my wife to do all of the christmas shopping by herself (or with malinda), because a 25 week pregant woman loves to be lost in crowds and traffic and around very strange post office workers. Her endeavors include buying all of the gifts for my family without the slightest bit of complaining, designing our christmas card, addressing envelopes, mailing them, and single handedly wrapping each gift that she bought (but i'm not really allowed to wrap gifts, either, because i'm not good at that).
1) I allow her to make me whatever she wants for dinner. almost every night.
Ok, maybe i'm not so great after all. Moral of this much longer (and probably less funny-er) than i intended story is that Jaclyn rocks. She is the best thing that has ever happened to me, and I don't really like having to spend nights away from her. So, these are just a few of the ways that she serves me. So, readers, sorry if you puked a little in your mouth just now. eat a cookie and it will get rid of the taste. Oh, yeah, i'm really good at eating cookies too.

Blake, this may just be one of the funniest things I've read all year. I will nominate you for "best husband of the year"....but it may be a tie with Cort. Sorry. You all are troopers to have us pregnant wives (but then again it is your fault).
Great post. You are both so lucky to have one another..and Lily will be, too!!
Christmas blessings...

I'm sorry...did you say that you gave up a free Titans/Steelers ticket? My mom says she would have driven to nashville just for the day...let us know next time!
