fiberaddictSeriously. I mean....I enjoy getting prezzies from the people I love, but not when they've been TOLD they HAVE to get them for me, y'kwim?
I just spent 3 hours cleaning the bathroom for my hubby. He cares about cleaning - I don't. Can't stand it. The moment I put the mop away, it starts getting dirty again, so why put a lot of effort into it, right? (I know I'm not the only person that thinks this way. I don't let it get to the point the Health Department would come in in Haz-mat suits, but I don't go to eat-off-the-floor clean, either.) I'm of the opinion that I need to economize so that I can pay someone who LIKES cleaning to do what they enjoy, while I sit and do what *I* enjoy (knitting socks, or weaving, or spinning.) It's win/win..only, so far, I haven't been able to stretch the budget. I'm working on it.....and so is SG, because he loves me. :grin:
He'll enjoy this - because he knows I HATE cleaning, and that I only did this for his sake. I even cleaned the kids' bathtub for them - again, because I love them. (And if I waited any longer for THEM to clean it, the mold would have become sentient and taken over the household. It was bad. :shudder: They're responsible for cleaning their bathroom, and they do a good job on the sink and floor, and an OK job on the toilet, but the tub? UGH.)
So, what acts of love have you done today for your families?

Date: 2012-02-15 12:13 am (UTC)I like V day, but ... again, I'm princess chipper, and I like everything. Pagan Mom was being grumpy on the way home about the cutization of *her* holiday, which makes me bummed 'cause yes - it's a pagan holiday. (blows raspberry).
Anyway. DH has a bottle of his favorite beer in the fridge from yours truly and a card. He got the kids cards, I got them wee boxes of chocolate, and he promised them skylanders.
I enjoy it without getting worked up about it. I will get far more worked up next month for St. Pat's, since that's our anniversary of dating.
