Today I have my husband home with me. He’s not sick. He just has the day off. Right now, he’s off to Starbucks to get us some coffee, and we have the entire weekend ahead of us. I am so excited!
I love this man with every fiber of my being. Who else can I curse my ovaries out in front of and have that person laugh and join in? Who else would come out of their slumber to ask whether the scale was good to me this morning? Who else would make me coffee every single morning before they head out to work? Who else would give me a foot massage nightly? Who else would say I look beautiful with Medusa hair and smeared mascara?
Men have the innate ability to do things and say things so terribly wrong sometimes, and it’s easy to forget what they do that is so right. They may not know everything, but they know something. That something is that they love us.
This week my parents are going on a cruise. Have I mentioned how much I hate the thought of cruise ships and cruises in general? I have tried several times to make my mom promise she’ll never go on another cruise. Scares the hell out of me. “If anything happens to you two…” I spout. “Once you have grandchildren, there had better be an end…” I follow up with. Hate ‘em. I’d rather be in a dinghy in the ocean than a giant ship. No clue why. Anyway, my point is that we have the entire week parent free. While this sounds great to many out there, it’s a bummer for us. We enjoy our time with family. They’re a ton of fun! Regardless, I hope they have an absolute blast!
Tomorrow we are going to a birthday party. I have too many friends with names that start with K. So, we will decode them here:
K is my neighbor, and now will be known as Southern Sister (Because we look like sisters, and have such a similar personality. Oh, and because I love her like a sister.)
Her daughter K will be known as Sunshine.
Southern Sister’s sister K will be known as Sparkle.
So it’s Sparkle’s birthday on Saturday. So fun! I love their family!
Sunday we are going to do lunch together and go to a movie.
I’m not sure what the weeknights will hold, but I’m going to try and do something romantic. Any ideas out there ladies? Can’t be too expensive though, and things at home are best.
