Feeling a little left out? Not at all!

I got a text from Phil a little while ago with an update on when he and Logan would return from work tonight:

"Just want you to know Lo and I are out for a birthday dinner just the 2 of us...he asked if he could go with just me"

Oh, how that kid loves his Dad. I remember when he was little and people would always comment/judge/criticize Phil for how much he worked and that he didn't spend enough time with his son and if he wasn't careful his son wouldn't want anything to do with him and he would turn into a Mama's boy (now that makes me laugh!) and you know, boys need their Daddy's to teach them how to be men. Crazy thing??? I actually listened at first and fretted and worried and tried to figure out how to change life, then I realized God had it all under control. Whew...having a few more kids really helps you to stop listening to all the crazy people out there that have too many opinions and not enough of the facts.

Getting that text from Phil confirms that God knew what He was doing. Yes, Phil has always worked A LOT. But, the amazing part is that God created Phil a little ADHD (not diagnosed, just an observation), not so good for his elementary school career but great for being a Dad that works 70-80 hours per week. I have never met another man like him. Every night he still gives his kids the time and energy they need and on his weekends off we make the most of them. Yes, the garage is a mess (so Phil uses the front door instead of the garage), the backyard needs some tending to (I just close the blinds before he comes home), but our kids get to enjoy their time with their Daddy.

So, no, I really don't feel left out all...just incredibly blessed that God chose to give me a husband that is my son's best friend. Enjoy your dinner boys....you deserve it!
