Two reasons I love my husband today

Currently, D is working at a job where he commutes 45 minutes. The hours at that job are 9-6. Therefore, he leaves here at 8:15 and returns sometime between 6:15 and 6:45, depending on whether he finishes early or not. It's an awfully late return time--my kids are always starving (on the days we actually wait for him to return before eating, which isn't always). However, it's joyful in the mornings when he's around to help get kids ready. He generally lets me sleep as long as possible and feeds the girls. Today we didn't have anywhere to be (no preschool on Tuesdays) so he got the girls started with a "show" as they call anything they watch on the TV, and told them not to wake me until it was over. I love that man! Consequently I slept until 8:45. Most of you are thinking I'm a lazy bum, but I am perfectly content to enjoy it while I can. I see those of you with kids in school, and I am aware that pretty soon I won't be getting much extra sleep, so I'm stocking up while the getting's good. :)

One other reason I'm praising my husband this week--on a recent trip to Sacramento, I accidentally discovered a Costco-sized box of gourmet hot chocolates (multi-flavored) in the trunk of the car. Since the surprise was spoiled (they were meant as a Christmas present), he handed them over and I've been sipping them ever since. Hooray for discoveries and for husbands who know we want deliciousness for Christmas.
