Being Practical

I'm a very practical person.

The more I think about it, the more I know it's true..

The more I go through obstacles throughout my life, the more I know how practical I am..

And somehow, I ended up..

InsyaAllah,

Spending my whole life with my dear husband, who is very practical as well..

Our practicality just attracts one another, I guess

Hopefully, it means we're meant to be with each other...Amin

I've been dating him for 6 years before we got married..

Through those years, when most of people sometimes want their couple to be more romantic, more sensitive, and all..

I don't feel the need for that..

And he doesn't have a single romantic nor sensitive bone in his body..

And I'm good with that

I'm really comfortable with the way things have been going..

Still am.. and hope will always be..

Sometimes, I even get a bit annoyed when he does something merely romantic..

Now, after being married for more than 12 years..

The practicality really works well in the household..

He really get things done..

We do quite good in sharing errands, sharing on taking care of the kids, sharing on having our each own me time..

And the best thing is, most of the time, I don't have to say a single thing, or at least I don't have to say it to his face..

The most common thing that I'd do is..I mumble by myself about stuffs..

And he knows..he gets the hints..

But we ladies, have always have our sensitive moments, don't we

And it just gets me at the heart..

every time he does or says things..

That, maybe, he doesn't realize at all

That, maybe, he does them just for practicality sake..

But he just did or said the right thing at the right time..

And maybe for others it's nothing..

For me, knowing him as this practical person that he is, means a whole lot..

These are some of my favorites..

Going out with 4 kids, 11-7-5s..takes out all off the energy of my 36 years of mommy age..

I'd be exhausted every time I arrived home..

The minute we entered the house, he'd be taking all the kids upstairs to their room..

And leave me taking my time to relax by myself downstairs..

That means the world to me..

When my kids get sick.

Usually, I'll do all the taking care of them..

Which I don't mind at all..

But, every now and then I have the time between all those taking care off stuffs..

He'll just go over me, says nothing and gives me like a really serious massage from head to toe..

That feels heavenly..

When we go together out on a shopping purpose..

I don't get the time to go to places I really want to..

I've got 4 boys plus one..

So, boys places and shops are the places that we go to..

I really don't mind anyway..

I prefer to do my shopping by myself, alone..

when the kids are at school and my hubby is at the office.

I do it peacefully, without any rush from them..

But every now and then,

I notice he often disappears

Usually when the kids are taking a break at the end of our shopping time, eating donuts, having drinks, or others..

And he'll just show up, carrying a shopping bag, which can be anything..

A dress, shoes, a book,..anything..

And he really knows my taste, besides off his good taste on stuffs as well..

How nice is that..

And every now and then..

He just says the nicest thing..

One time, we were talking about every day stuffs..

Kids, house, friends, work..

We share opinions on everything..

we have good discussions..which means debating on stuff..

Which is fun..

So, one time, at the end of a discussion, I concluded..

Well, maybe it's just not meant to be then..Just accept it..

It was like one out of hundreds of our usual discussion..

But he commented,

How lucky I am to have a wife that's understanding..

Isn't that sweet..

The latest one was this..

It was the twins birthday party..

When it was quiz time, the MC threw a question to the guests..

How much does the twins mommy's weigh..

A very rude question, isn't it..

But every one was having fun with answering silly answers..

When it was time for me to give the right answer, I rejected to answer..

So, the MC went to my husband for the answer..

He answered a silly answer as well,

She only weighs 25 kgs, the rest is inner beauty..

If that's not the sweetest thing a husband can ever say..

Hahahaha..

Love you with all my heart..

Just the way you are..
