I have a baby shower to attend tomorrow. We got them the butt spatula and a set of books that have my husband’s name in the title. The first, because it is silly but helpful, the second because it is just silly. And books are helpful in life, too, I suppose. But mostly because the name part was silly to me.
I didn’t know it was only for women at first. It didn’t say on the invitation. Just that it was a shower to celebrate their second kid. But when I replied that ‘we should be able to make it,’ she said it wasn’t a couples shower. I didn’t think it necessarily was, but I was planning to bring my husband, because he’s their friend, too, and because I was stupid sick and didn’t really want to go anywhere on my own almost ever. However, she mentioned that her husband probably would be looking for something to do, so mine could probably do something with him. So, good – they could go play together, I guessed.
I told my husband to reach out. He did. And now, the night before the two-hour shower at noon, I am alone at home, because the boys went down to the other couple’s camper at the coast for the night, so they can fish in the morning.

I wanted him to help me out for two hours. Instead, I got him a free fishing trip and left myself to fend for myself tonight and all day tomorrow. The irony. Haha
Anyway, I hope he has a great time. He has been very stressed lately, and almost constantly busy. He could use some rest and some rest that isn’t with me. We had the weekend at my uncle’s hotel-like house in Wimberley this past weekend, but I am still a lot to manage. A low-maintenance night and day with a guy friend, doing outdoorsy stuff sounds just perfect for him right now. Likely, the friend needs it, too.
God, help us all to sleep well tonight, please. Help the guys to have a safe and wonderful, relaxing, and fulfilling time on their mini-trip this weekend. Help to heal the nausea I have still been experiencing, and please make the baby safe and well. Help us all to pursue and fulfill your will. In your name, I pray. Amen.
