Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Can't say it enough!

The last couple of weeks you've taken time out to allow me to sleep in a couple of days a week.

It has totally changed my week!

Yeah, I sleep in, but then I have had more energy to actually get something done, more motivation to get things done.  Not every day, of course ;)  but overall it has been wonderful.  I'm also more ready to appreciate orchestra early on Saturday mornings and being up on time for church on Sunday.  Since I don't feel so much like I desperately need the chance to sleep in I'm able to face those things more like a grown up, and less like a cranky toddler.

I know this is something that requires you to change your schedule, and that you may not always be able to do this, but I hope you know how much I appreciate it when it work out!  It's like a little slice of heaven.

Thank you.

Med adjustment period, since the clinic screwed up on a refill. Somehow the pills that don't usually phase me are making me rather loopy.  I was just hit with an overwhelming sense of gratitude and and love for everything around me.  Yes, that's usually what happens when I get loopy, besides not being able to shut up.  I figure this is the prefect place to vent that love since you're not here for me to snuggle up with you.  Yes, I love you squishy-kins!  Life is painful (literally), but other than that major issue, it's pretty darn good.  Also, I cannot wait for my next photo playthings to come!  I need to do a 1 year photoshoot for "Baby" M!  Life is good.

It makes me smile when you laugh in your sleep.

Thank you for taking off your shoes in the middle of a movie, at the theater, and putting then on my overly air conditioned footsies.  And thank you for getting out of bed to help me out of the tub, not to mention going upstairs especially to draw the bath for me in the first place.  It makes all the difference in my life.  I like you.

It's Summertime! Which, as usual, I have highly mixed opinions on. I love the warmth, but not the allergies. Love having the girls home, miss the quiet time this introvert needs. Love the late nights, miss the sleep! Love sleeping in, miss... well, nothing there. I just love sleeping in. I can't wait for our grill to come so we can start eating the way summer was meant to be eaten! (or however that sentence structure works). Burgers, chops, steaks, chicken, grilled vegis (as if you'd touch those, smh)... and who knows what else I'll figure out how to cook on a grill! It will be exciting, I'm sure.

Thank you SO much for letting me sleep in this morning.  Sometimes that extra sleep is exactly what my body needs to function for a few more hours.  I love that you have learned how to get the girls off to school.  I love that you're not just getting them there and fed, but that you're learning how to manage making sure they are wearing clean clothes, brushed their hair and teeth, ate breakfast from what we have available at home, and made their own lunches from what is on hand.  It lets me feel like you understand what we do on a day-to-day basis.  Maybe it's a silly thing, but I like that you have discovered that there are a lot of things to think of at once and haven't always been perfect at it, just like I've made plenty of "oopsies" in the morning.  It helps me feel understood and appreciated.  You're a wonderful Daddy too!

I noticed you jump up at church to hold the door for a woman using a walker.

I noticed you pick up a dropped toy for a small child.

I noticed you learning how to get the girls ready for school.

I noticed you get up without complaint to turn off the light, get me some medicine, and rub my back.

I noticed you choose to leave your family party early, even though you were having a nice time, because you noticed I was worn out.

I noticed you let me sleep in on your days off.

I noticed you probably love me!
