I came home from a job I have tutoring yesterday to supper nearly ready to come out of the oven, coffee brewing, the appropriate drinks (milk for Brad, water for me) already poured and put out at our respective places, and a husband smiling over his good work. How did he accomplish this without any instruction, without even knowing where I was and when I'd be home? He was excited to share with me his thought process.
"I came home and you weren't here. I didn't know where you were so I walked over to the calendar - 'Ah, she's at tutoring. I wonder what she had in mind for supper.' So I remembered that you had a little list somewhere and came over here to scan the counter for it. Aha! Green sticky note with 'meals for the week' written on it. Since they weren't assigned to any specific day, I thought I would put in the frozen pizza. Then I thought I'd better check to see if you didn't have something else in mind. I looked in the fridge to see if you'd taken any chicken out or cut up some vegetables already. Nope! So I made the pizza."
"Babe!" I cried, "You're sooo smart!"
He grinned back at me like the cutest proud little boy ever. "Yup," he affirmed.
"We are like, successful at life!" I exclaimed.
"Soo organized," he agreed.
We hugged and jumped around the kitchen like frolicking children and then sat down ;ike good, civilized folk to eat our meal. And so went my joyous arrival home from work.
So cute!!!
