Back in April the country celebrated Husband Appreciation Day, a day for "wives to reflect on the various ways their spouse enriches their lives." I loved the idea--especially since my husband does a ton of things for me, which too often I take for granted. Little things, such as taking care of the yard work, fixing leaky toilets, making me coffee in the mornings, holding doors open, watching Dr. Phil with me.
I was talking about that day with an acquaintance, when she snorted and said, "And what about a Wife Appreciation Day?"
"Um," I said, taken aback by her snarky tone. "Wouldn't that be Sweetest Day?"
She snorted again.
"Mother's Day?" I tried again.
"And they have Father's Day," she pointed out with a tight grin.
I could see where this conversation was going.
