Appreciation

My goal for this weekend was to clean my house and Emar to be able to work outside towards his goal of "lawn of the neighborhood."  Well as I still lay in bed at 1:45pm, Emar is cleaning the house as it is 29 degrees and wet from thunderstorms from last night.  I feel horrible and appreciative at the same time.  Last night did not go as planned. I was up coughing about 5-6 times.  Let's just say it was a rough night.  I woke up around 10am this morning feeling miserable.  Emar went to our nephew's basketball game at 12:30pm when reality it wasn't until 1:30pm (the good SIL had the schedule wrong).  Emar rushed home and started working on cleaning the house.  I had no expectations of him helping me with cleaning the house (that has been neglected the past month) b/c I had no plans on helping him in the yard.  I asked him just do do the laundry and the kitchen but he insisted he had the motivation and energy to just clean away.  I tried.  I failed.  I am appreciative.
