#18: up early

Whew!  I have been trying to get up early this week, and I am 2-for-2!

Hallelujah!

Our poor little man has been sick all weekend and is still sick.  That is NO GOOD, my friends!

I think the only good thing that has come from this is all of the cuddles.  I get lots of hugs and kisses usually, but I only get a few cuddles when E is tired--and he doesn't act tired very often.

So, I am enjoying all of the extra love and attention--and getting to shower him with back tickles, kisses, and cuddles.

Oh, I wish he would just get feeling better.

Dane is being a great sport and has taken the day off to care for E--he took Friday off too.  I know this is an especially stressful time for him at work, so I really do appreciate all that he does to help take care of us.

He is really teaching me what a great father and husband should be like.

I think I could be easier on him too--be a little more grateful. Lately I think I have just gotten so caught up in life--in the hustle and bustle--in the rat race--to stop and see how beautiful this life--and my husband--truly is.

I think Dane and I could use a nice little Valentine's Day!  I have some fun little things planned to remind Dane just how much I do love him, even though lately I haven't seemed quite as full of love.

My dear Project 2013, please help me!  That's right, I need you!

So, I think I will really focus on serving my family, especially Dane, over these next few weeks.  He could use a little more love!

I am starting to serve him right now (or after I finish writing this post).

I am about to go and get dinner cooking in the crockpot, get the house picked up, and get the laundry finished up--before he wakes up.

Then he doesn't have to worry about any house-related duties.  He can snuggle up with Enzo and do a little work and enjoy the day sans dish washing.

So, I had better get it done.  I only have about 30 minutes now before I need to read for class and get ready for the day.

Toodles!
