The following is a conversation (not word-for-word, but very close) that I had with my hubba while he was at work the other day. I just wanted to show you the kinda craziness that my man has to deal with on a regular basis because I think that the sun, moon and stars revolve around me.
(ring-ring-ring)
Lovey: Hello
Me: Hey, what are you doing?
Lovey: Drowning with too many patients and not enough time.
Me: Oh, well I have some things that I have been thinking about. I think...
(beep, beep, beep)
Me: Is that your pager?
Lovey: Yeah, hold on a sec...
(In the back ground I hear, "This is Dr. Mad. Did someone page me? Uh, huh. Okay, I'll be there in a few.)
Lovey: Sorry about that.
Me: That's fine. Anyway I was thinking that we should really consider paying for Caleb to take the bus next year. I mean, I just...
(beep, beep, beep)
Me: Is that your pager again?
Lovey: Yeah. It's crazy around here.
Me: Anyway, I was saying that I know it's a lot of money for him to...
Lovey: I've been saying we should have him ride the bus from the beginning. Hold on a sec.
(In the back ground I hear, "This is Dr. Mad. Did someone page me? Okay, just give him ____ cc's of ____ and I will be there in a few.)
Lovey: Sorry about that. Babes, I trust you. Do whatever you think is best.
Me: Well, I don't want to be wasteful with our money...
(beep, beep, beep)
Lovey: I'm sorry Babes, I'm a little busy right now..
Me: That's okay, do you think that he should ride one way or both ways? I was thinking that I...
(beep, beep, beep) ...could take him in the am and the bus...
Lovey: Seriously, Babes, I've gotta go. Can I call you later and we can talk about this then?
Me: I just had a couple more thoughts.
(In the background I hear him talking to Nurse Betty)
Me: Are you there? Are you ignoring me?
Lovey: No Babes. Does this decision have to be made tonight?
Me: No.
Lovey: When does it have to be made?
Me: In a couple of weeks. But I thought we should start... (beep, beep, beep) ...thinking about it now.
Lovey: Alright, I will think about it as I walk to my patient's room and give you a call in a few.
Me: Hmmm. I've heard that line before. Alright. I love you.
Lovey: I love you (beep, beep, beep) too.

I've had this identical conversation more times than I can count. God is definitely in the business of changing ME through Ben's medical career. The best part is that when he gets home 36 hrs later and I try to resume the conversation just where we left off and he doesn't even remember that we had it!

How sweet that he tries so hard to carry on a conversation with you while so busy...what a gift! I have one of those too and am so thankful for him! :0)
