mistle toe

Today’s Activity:

Although the mistletoe is put away show your husband you appreciate him by giving him a big hug and kiss when he gets home from work.

Note:

It’s great to show your kids that mommy and daddy love each other by letting them see you show each other affection.

Evaluate:

Well I’d love to tell you that this was great but it wasn’t.  Here it is 11pm Tuesday night and I’m off to bed while my husband is still at work.  Occasionally crappy work weeks happen and this is one of them.  Steven (my hubby) produces a local TV show.  52 episodes a year with a crew of 2 and an office manager and his boss.  When people in the buis learn that they do 52 episodes a year they are in shock.  Most shoes do about 22.  It’s a lot of work for not a lot of people.  But…sometimes we get to go on fun family trips with a camera tagging along.  Anyway, his bosses Mother-in-law passed away on Saturday and the funeral is tomorrow.  So my sweet kind husband is helping his boss prepare a video tribute for the funeral.  The thing that is most frustrating to me about this is that he really needed his big hug and kiss.  He took such good care of me and the kids while we were sick and now he is sick and can’t take a day off work because the show wouldn’t get done if he did.  So he is putting all of his time and energy into work when he should be resting.  When I spoke with him today I was going to stop by the office and I asked him if he needed anything and all he wanted was a big hug and a kiss.  Unfortunately when I called to tell him I was on my way he was gone because he had to go on a last minute shoot.  But…there is always tomorrow morning for that big hug and kiss.  Sad to say I couldn’t find any recent pictures of us kissing so this one of us from  10 years ago will have to do.

Prepare:
