So, I was grumpy on getting home tonight - my day's plans got rearranged, to include gaming night missed yet again, working a 17 hour day etc... kind of felt like venting.
Then it occurred to me yet again what a pretty gorram incredible wife I have. In just this week she's dealt with:
- Me skipping out on the family pool trip as I can't do the sun & don't feel like lounging around watching others from the shade.
- Me running off to a memorial service for one person leaving her with the kids, dinner etc.
- Me working a long range day, coming home hot, sweaty & tired, and her making dinner without complaint.
- Another coworker dying & all the drama that involves as both a normal human and a police wife.
- My day getting changed from somewhat normal to said 17-hours; leaving her with kids, house, meals etc. without relief or company.
- Me gone again all day & night Friday on a work trip, again leaving her solo.
All this without complaint and making it all look effortless - just support for our chosen lives & the things that occur.
I'm pretty blessed & lucky she decided to keep me around.

You notice and you thank her out loud. I'd say she's pretty blessed and lucky too. I sure hope your kids are learning what you're teaching.
Sounds like you married up like I did. If it's not imposing, I'd like to offer some free advice. You should set her up with roses and a professional massage post haste.
What they said. I have a wife like that, too - we're VERY blessed men.
And there went my grumpy mood! :) Right back attcha, Sunshine!
Yes, Suz...unbelievably, unmeasurably blessed. The lot of us.
You're both lucky; you for everything you've already stated and her for having a husband who gets it.
Take up Shepherd K's advice :)
Sounds like a keeper to me.
Yup. You have a pretty awesome wife! :)
Does she have a sister?

I was looking for websites realted to police careers and I came across yours. Anyway, when you are a police officer, no day will be boring unlike what happens in casual work in the office. Instead, you will be running on the streets, patrolling the alleys or investigating crimes.
