I’ve been out of commission the last week since hurting my back, so PJ has taken over pretty much all of the work regarding the kids and the house and the animals. Not only that, but he’s been taking care of me and helping my back to feel better. The other day he ran a hot bath with a CBD bath bomb in it and it alleviated so much of my pain! He always has a way of knowing what to do when someone is sick or doesn’t feel well, and we all know how handy PJ is, but that might just be one of the things that comes in handy the most, especially with three kids.
I haven’t been the easiest to deal with during this whole ordeal (is there anything harder that trying to be nice and positive and caring when you’re in pain?), so PJ has had to put up with that on top of handling everything else. But like most (okay, all) things, he tackles it head-on and gets the job done. It’s early in the morning and freezing cold outside while I write this, but I am feeling warm and safe and so incredibly grateful for PJ inside.
I came to this realization many years ago, but life would be a lot more painful (in more ways than one) without him.
