Day 28
Today’s Dare came on a good day. This morning was very busy. I was called out to work at 4:30am and was late getting back. My husband got up with my daughter to get her ready for school but she was sick. When I got home I checked on her and got my son up. He has a recorder class at school early on Tuesday’s. After driving him to school after a huge ordeal to get him ready on time I came home. I worked on the computer for awhile. Then I told my husband he had to get ready for his Dr. appt. My husband had to see the Doctor today about his finger. He released him to go back to work. He is glad. I guess after 3 weeks he’s ready to get back to work. The Dare came in during all of the craziness this morning. I noticed he doesn’t handle stress well. Everybody was yelling and asking for things at different times. He had to be at the Doctor. When he got home I was trying to start his van and it wasn’t turning over. (Loose battery cable) I could just see him coming to a boiling point. That’s when it hit me. I have to help keep his stress level down. Stress doesn’t really bother me. As a mom I think its just a part of life. It wears on my husband! I did feel better because I knew what I had to help with.
I don’t think I actually cause the stress but I know what has to be done to relieve it. I can do that! So I think I will talk to the kids about yelling around him. They are kids that are loud and have fun. Sometimes they need to respect him and his requests of toning it down.
As far as talking to him directly about it…I will talk to him about helping with his stress. Maybe tonight. But I will do it tactfully. I don’t want him to think I think he can’t handle it. I just want to make his life easier. That in turn will make my life happier!
