Groundhog Day versus The little things in life.....

Do you ever wake up in the morning and feel like you are in the movie Groundhog Day? I have never actually seen the whole movie, but know enough about it to know that a guy keeps waking up and reliving the same day over and over again, and at times that is what I feel like when I am making the same beds up every morning, getting the same school clothes, backpack, lunch boxes, etc.

After getting Bryce his breakfast and making sure he is eating, I go on to Connor and get him dressed for the day, his bed made, his room in order and give him his breakfast. Then on to Bryce's room to get his school stuff together, his bed made (yes, he is at the age where he can make it himself, although I always have to go behind him and make it correctly, and he does so on Saturday's and Sunday's, but school days it's easier if I just make it myself). Put laundry in.....well you get the picture. I am not in any way complaining here, just stating facts. After taking both boys to their two different schools, I come home to start a second shift which includes then making our bed and straightening up our room, laundry, kitchen, etc.

So this morning, it was a nice little surprise to walk in the bedroom and see our bed all made up really nicely, pillows and all, the bedroom all straightened up and the floor was even vacuumed. Thanks Babe for doing these special little things once in a while. It was very sweet and thoughtful of you and I always appreciate it and it makes me appreciate you a little more each time.

Hmmmm! Somebody was listening at the marriage seminar! I love your bedroom set. Very pretty!

Men helping out must be in the air, Rob is home making bread to go with dinner. (I'm at work) The little things DO matter!

SEE!!!!! TOLD YA!!! "-) Hee hee, well, I'm glad SOMEONE in the family listens to me! (totally kidding)

Wonder how many men other men paid attention and vacuumed for their wives in the last week? I'm telling ya, that kind of stuff is just as romantic as showing up with flowers and for me, it means a lot more because it takes more time, energy and thought. What a guy!

How sweet! It is so nice to be surprised once in awhile, isn't it? I agree that it means just as much, if not more, than flowers. Shows how love changes and matures as the years go by. Wish we could have attended the marriage seminar. I read Mary Ellen's blog and it sounded like alot of fun.
