The Best...

Did I ever tell you I have the BEST husband in the world? Well, I DO! You know, Pete is so in tune to my needs and wants, he might know I need something before I even do. When the kids were babies, he would come home early from the office often so I could take a break and get out of the house. At the time I didn't know I needed some "me" time, but once I got away, I realized how nice it was to have a few minutes alone. A happy "me" makes a happy mom, and a happy mom makes a happy home!

My husband also knows how to take subtle hints. The other day I was dusting and decided to get rid of some empty perfume bottles I'd been keeping (I had thought they were too pretty to throw away). I put them on the dryer instead of in the trash can in hopes that Pete would see the empty bottles. Of course he did, and when he asked me about them, I was a little snappy about how he had never bought me any perfume.Well yesterday, he came home and nonchalantly handed me an empty perfume bottle box. He asked me if I thought it smelled good. "Mmmm...it smells beautiful," I answered."Good, then go look on the mirror on your dresser," he said. Sure enough, there was a small bottle of perfume standing there. How lucky I am to have a husband like that(even though he can be a clown)! Thank you God!
