I almost didn’t post anything today! I almost missed NaBloPoMo. Ack!!

Luckily, I just snuck this in!

We are off to West Point tomorrow, for a visit to see where my dad spent Vietnam. It should be a great experience. I am excited to share it with him and the kids.

See you tomorrow, I am off to bed.

It’s runnething over.

My Dad is here!! I picked him up around midnight last night and he is now upstairs happily ordering a colorful paper lunch and invisible coffee from a certain young purveyor of fine cuisine.
There is an air of contentment in the house. I am happier, Monkey is happier, even (or especially) the dogs are happier. (Dad lets Bella sleep with him at night, so she is incredibly happy to have him visit. In fact, she would like him to move in.)

We have him for nine days!! I am looking forward to some park visits, conversations, and hang out time. We are also seeing Spamalot tomorrow in NYC, and West Point on Tuesday. It will be a nice long visit.

It’s been too long between hugs, so I going to bask in his glow for a while. Have a good weekend!

I know, far less romantic than Seattle, and not a Tom Hanks in sight.

We are battling some weird cold thing here. The baby has a little smoker’s cough (I swear, it sounds just like a smoker’s cough!), and I am sore throated and bleary eyed. Thankfully, the husband performed miracles for me last night, in the form of sweeping, mopping, de-cluttering, and taking out the trash.
Sniff.
I told him it meant more to me than him waiting on me hand and foot with tea and kleenex.
I have a Moms Club event at my house this morning, and had to have the house clean. I just couldn’t find the umph needed to take it beyond picked up. Thankfully, he did. Bless you dear!!

I am a really lucky woman, and I recognize that I don’t always recognize that. My husband rocks. He is always willing to help out at home, he is a great provider, he is fantastic with the children, and he can cook. I don’t have to nag him to get assistance with laundry, dishes, or other housework. He is also funny, and silly, and willing to let me be silly and strange (which is a real bonus as I am fairly silly and strange).

He is the best partner I could ask for.

Thank you honey for being so amazing! I am glad I found you!!

Mmmm… he also made me coffee.
