Well… I have gotten two emails since my response that are causing me to edit.
(1) There are last minute discount tickets to Sister Act, the musical. So I asked hubby to put our names in the drawing from 6–6:30pm. If we get drawn, we’ll see that tonight while my sister babysits the toddler.
(2) Just found out House of Cards season 2 is out on Netflix. If we don’t go out, we’ll probably vacuum and wash dishes quickly (because he knows I can’t relax until some weekend cleaning has been done) and then eat chocolate-covered strawberries while we watch multiple episodes.
Here are the things I will appreciate about my husband today:
1. He knows I am large and uncomfortable. He will make dinner and take care of the little one.
2. He will stand in line for a half an hour to see if we can get discount tickets to a show I’d enjoy.
3. He will wash the dishes and pick up the living room because he knows that acts of service are my love language, and that I won’t really relax until some picking up/cleaning has been done.
4. He won’t give me flowers and chocolate because I asked him not to.
5. As much as he would love to go out to eat tonight, he will stay home and eat some inexpensive pasta with me and the kids.
6. He will tell me many times how much he loves me, and he will fully mean it each time.
7. He will shower today. I just know he will. Please shower today.
