Tonight Jeff and I got home around the same time. We took a much needed break and sat down by each other to catch up on the day. Both kiddos were *supposed* to be sleeping, so for a moment we just had each other.
I love those moments.
All too soon, though, the kiddos were both awake, dinner needed to be made and things cleaned up.
Since I had forgotten to buy the main ingredient for dinner when I was at the store yesterday , Jeff was going to go for me.
Until I suggested making grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup.
Mmmm.... This is our default dinner: it's quick, easy and ALL 4 of us love it. Perfection.
Jeff walked into the kitchen and started getting things out and then said,
'Hey, I know it's easy, but I'll make dinner tonight.'
My first thought was: 'Yeah, it's easy so I want to make it. You can make dinner on a hard night.'
Then I realized how extremely lame that thought was. I mean, hello, my husband wanted to make dinner for me! It doesn't matter how easy it was: I didn't have to cook! A night off!
So I said thank you and ran up the stairs to take advantage of my cook-free night.
Jeff was happy, I was happy, and dinner was delicious.
Thanks babe!

Lucky you! What a sweet husband. The simple things in life that just mean so much.
I think we're all guilty of comments creeping into our minds that we instantly regret! The important thing that I try to remember is that you can't take things back once they've been vocalized... so I truly try to step back, and not let that side get the best of me or compromise the positivity in a certain situation. Thanks, NIcole, for your honesty and incredible relate-ability (yeah, I so don't think that's a word, but I'll use it anyway!); I so look forward to reading your posts!
