Hey I really shouldn't laugh that hard at work. I wonder how many other dhs are hoping the same thing. :lol:
Cinnamon rolls in boots. Well you have a very practical and terrific idea there. I think this is something we could all remember for those down times. My DH told me once (hopefully he doesn't mind my sharing) that he can handle just about anything but when I am unhappy he feels he just can't go on. I would have to break out my journal to find the exact wording. Although it was years ago now that he said it; it really made me think. I think many times we women forget the influence we have over our husbands. I well remember a time in our marriage where I worked nights and he worked days. There was absolutely no choice in the matter. We made it as short of a duration as possible; about a year. It was not long after my second child was born. We didn't have a lot of time so we made the most of the time we DID have. Sometimes it was just a few minutes. Sometimes a lingering hug on the way out the door. We certainly couldn't afford date nights, not even just a baby sitter while we went for a walk. We would find some time though. I don't mean we would plan something. I mean when we sat down on the couch together to cuddle we didn't want to get up. I did want him to know that I loved and respected him despite the job loss and that I believed in him. I believed he would get a better job and I believed that when worse came to worse he would take care of his family somehow. I'm sure he will enjoy his cinnamon rolls and his time with you and actions will be lodged in his memory just don't get discouraged if he doesn't change overnight. It takes us all time to change our habits and moods for the long term. With your attitude I'm sure you will get through this. You must have a very lucky man.
It is amazing what a cup of coffee will do! When I got home last night I set the coffee pot to automatic and my alarm clock to 6:15. I managed to drag myself out of bed this morning when the alarm went off. He asked why it was going off so early. I just said that I needed to get up. Well he rolled over and went back to sleep. I took a cup of coffee up to him, and then made scrambled eggs for his breakfast and then his lunch. He didn't get up in time to eat so I put the eggs in a wrap so he could eat it at his 10:00 break. But he left the house in a very good mood. Frogger we have to much in common. Your story sounds like the state I am in right now. I will do cinnamon rolls this weekend. hee hee
GOOD FOR YOU!!! It's definately a step in the right direction!!! (But don't get discouraged if he isn't gushing with thanks! Sometimes it takes a while for things to change!)
That is where you all have come in. Keeping from getting discouraged. I think part of my problem in the past was I would tell him what I was planning, like getting up early and stuff. And I would get so dissappointed when he didn't get excited then he would pick that up... an ugly cycle. Anyway, this is a new attempt. I am really going to work on me and be patient. At least I know where I can go now to get a pick me up. :love:
