Cinderella

So this is Micah making a rare post. My subject line pretty much sums up my beautiful wife, and I cannot help but feel like I play the role of her wicked step sisters! Ok maybe I'm not that bad, but sometimes I feel like she waits on me more than the babies! In a typical day I'll get home in the morning after work and go to bed. Then I wake up - not to an alarm - but to the sound of my sweet princess telling me its time to get up and go work at the law firm. So I get up and shower (I do bathe myself, unlike my boys!) and then come out to clothes that are washed and ironed and a lunch that is ready just for me! I get home from the law firm and dinner is ready! The house is seriously always clean (she's even rubbing off onto Brode - he can't stand a "mess!" on his hands, and all papers, wrappers, and food must go PROMPTLY in the "TRASH!"). I really don't do much of anything around the house anymore - she just happily does everything! I even started doing the dished once this last week and she pushed me aside and would not let me finish!

And to top it all off, I think the most impressive thing about my wife is her performance on Sunday morning. We have church at noon and she always let's me sleep in until 11, since I don't get off work until 6:30 am. Without fail, she is dolled up and gorgeous and both of the boys look like they came out of a Baby Gap catalog. I'm amazed at how she gets all FOUR of us ready for church! And oh yeah, my clothes are always ironed and breakfast is ready when I wake up.

So let's recap - I don't cook or clean, I don't get the boys ready for church, and I don't iron my clothes. I don't even wake myself up for crying out loud! Although to my credit I did fix Brode's bed this week....

Now the moral of the story is this - my wife is pretty much perfect. I have never been so busy nor my schedule so crazy, but I attribute my ability to do any and all of it to my sweet, loving wife. Now I just can't wait until I get into and finish law school so that the clock can strike midnight and I can treat poor Cinderella like the princess she is!
