Commitment

We went to the Peninsula Winter Games this weekend. Hubby met us there for lunch, then took our oldest boy home, while the little ones and I enjoyed a few more activities, then we went home for dinner.

Later in the evening, as we were getting ready to leave for the fireworks, we got a call for a road kill moose. Since we had promised the kids the fireworks, we called someone else on our list to get the moose. But we had to go to the site until they arrived. It ended up that we watched most of the fireworks on the way to them. We were out of the car in time for a few and the finale, then we enjoyed the huge bonfire for a while before we headed home.

The kids complained a little but we were able to teach them that sometimes responsibilities interfere with fun. The important part is that we keep a good attitude. I don't know if they got it, but I did.

With all the other problems we have, I am aware that my husband is responsible. When he says he will be somewhere or do something, he does it. I don't know why I have so much trouble believing that he is capable of doing the same for me. But it is going a little easier for me after my revelation this weekend.
