I want a prize

I am trying really hard to be supportive.  I am trying really hard to be understanding.  I am trying really hard to keep my eye on the prize- but wait, what is my prize?  After all his training and discipline, Justin's prize will come in the form of the sense of achievement once he finishes this race.  What do I get?  Is there something for me to look forward too?
I am also in this.  I am also having to sacrifice.  I am also having to change my lifestyle to help my husband get where he wants to be.  I'm starting to fall into what I have read other IM wives call "Single mom syndrome" By no way am saying that a single mom and I even have the comparable amount of duties and responsibilities.  Single moms amaze me because they do the work of 2 parents.  By saying that I have "Single mom syndrome" I am simply stating that I have been thrown into a world that I never expected to be.  I am finding myself doing more parenting and household work  than I normally would have to do as a co-parent.   Therefore, I think I deserve a prize.  Admit it, who doesn't like being rewarded for going outside of their expected responsibilities?  Its done at work all the time: you turn in a report in advance, you expect a little praise.  You hit 100% of your sales goal- you expect a raise.  So what I am asking for is nothing extraordinary.  So, that got me thinking,  pregnant women get push presents, I  think IronMan Widows should get a gift too.  And I am going to call that gift the "Survivor's Souvenir" Because after all that is said and done, in the end, I am going to survive this, I will help my children survive this, and most importantly, I am going to help my marriage survive this (well, me and my ever faithful bottle of wine)
 So Justin, start thinking, you've got a gift to get me!  And it better be good!
And now, I've got Survivor by Destiny's Child stuck in my head.
