We were laying in bed the other night, going over the week ahead and Hubs looks at me and says "How do you do it?" Of course I was clueless as to what he meant so I ask. He said "How do you get used to only having Saturday and Sunday to do stuff?" That is when I impart words of wisdom on him that every man should remember...I do what I can and leave the rest and dare someone to fuss because it's not exactly how they want it. If you think something else needs to be done or done differently, do it yourself. I think I kind of shocked him.
I do believe dear Hubs is finally seeing that all these years of me working Monday to Friday is not nearly as easy as he thought it was. That made me feel a lot better. All the years of being a married single parent, having little time together as a family was not nearly as easy as he thought.
I must say as much as I am liking all these new changes I think this is the best one of all.

Valentine's Day
We are not romantic people. After being together 12 years and married almost 10 years, throw in 2 kids and just life in general we seriously fail in the romance department. So I thought with today being Valentine's Day I figured I would make the effort to actually do something today.
I worked hard to keep his stuff a surprise, after all he is a detective and can usually tell when I am up to something. I called the secretary at the PD and asked if she would help me sneak his stuff in so that it was on his desk when he gets in to the office. In his little goody bag is a ton of Hershey kisses and Hershey bars, chewing gum, 3 cans of Copenhagen (again yes we are southern, he dips, that is the dip he only buys on special occasions cause well it's expensive), and after a trip to a local bakery a personal pineapple upside down cake, 2 lip shaped cookies, and oatmeal sandwich cookies.
My favorite part of the bag though was the framed picture of our family for his desk, and the cards-one from me, one from the kids. My card was mushy and sweet and had a little note to go with the money I put in there. The little note said, since I can't eat lunch with you today, lunch is on me :).
Hopefully he enjoys his little goodies today, and maybe he will bring some chocolate home and share. :)
