Wonderful Week With Hubby

The few days last week that my in-laws were here and the week that my stepkids were here was great with my husband. While it was very busy, and some of my stepson's antics brought on some stress for me, my husband took four days off work last week and it was the first time in a long time where we had that block of time to spend together like that.

When I woke up, my husband made my green tea for me the way I like it. He's never done that before. He also got my breakfast ready for me several mornings last week AND...AND...this is big...

He filled the dishwasher and started it!! In the year we've had our dishwasher, he has never filled it. I didn't even know he knew how to start it! (His mistake though...now that I know he knows how to use it, I expect him to.)

He is so much more relaxed without the stress of work and the crazy schedule on his back. It was wonderful.

I get my affectionate hubby back when he's not feeling the stress about his job. Despite my own hang-up over my weight right now, my husband made me feel beautiful and told me I was too. I might still be wishing for the the best diet pills but my husband doesn't seem to mind at all. It seems to be my own hang-up. Back to the original topic of my post though...

We had a great week, as a couple, despite some of the stress involved with a swearing step-teen or the damaged furniture.
