Sorry I just had to get that out. I've been thinking about the time my training has been taking away from her and my son (I try to train when they are sleeping but doesn't always work out) and realize she has never grumbled about it. At least not to me. Well she has gone off to Atlanta this week (Spring Break and she's a teacher) and taken our son with her. Still she manages to make me smile every morning, she has cards and notes hidden all over for me to find everyday.

She thinks I'll just train all the time she is gone. I hope she is surprised and appreciative when she gets back and sees, the house has been painted, all household shores completed, her clothes for the following week freshly pressed, garage cleaned out (preparing for a new room), and her Explorer detailed with her rims going from a black shiny chrome.

I'm not sure but now I think this was just to keep myself reminded of what I want to do before Sunday.

Oh and if anyone wants to paint, beer and bbq starts at noon. If I get enough volunteers I can get a brick in on Saturday. WOOHOO!!!

Man...you rock!  I feel the same way.  I love it when I find little notes around the house.  Or on my workout clothes in the wee hours of the morning.

It's the little things that count.  Keep making the most of it and appreciating it.  My wife is my IronSherpa!!

You are going to have a busy week! She is going to be so surprised and happy when she gets back. I love putting notes in my husband's stuff when one of us goes away. He doesn't do it as much, but I still carry one that he put in my wallet a few years ago!

Sometimes, my husband and I are a bit... untidy. So when the house gets messy, I like to write "I heart you" with the crap that's laying around. I guess I could put the energy into cleaning up, but that's way less fun...

I'm glad to see others out there that do the same thing. I am dumbfounded when I see statstics of divorce rates. I know she will never divorce me, my life insurance is boardering 7 numbers to the left of the decimal.hehehe.  I think I might now add steam cleaning the carpets, just two rooms but I could also do the upholstery in her car. Our son like to throw his bottle when he is finished. Wether its empty or not, so the interior is ......not in pristine condition.

 Oh, 2 birds ....1 stone. Drop car off at detailer, ride bike home (long route) and run back to detailer. Yes!!! Now as long as this brain isn't used for evil. I scare myself sometimes.

Great idea! She is going to be so appreciative. It's great when my husbands fills up my truck, cleans the litter box, or empties the dishwasher. I think sometimes guys don't realize how little thoughtful things (not that what you are doing is a small task but you get my drift) around the house can mean MUCH more than flowers and usually will be....ahem....rewarded.

How nice....sweating all over a newly detailed vehicle.  heehee

As for reinforcing the ceiling fan.  Just add a ceiling hook for that new swing.

Nice tip on the hook. And I'm a considerate enough as to drape a beach towel over the seat, and drive with the windows down.

Not long ago...  my wife went to visit her parents..   While she was out, I rearreged the room, painted the room and get this..  I borrowed a friends swwing maching and I made a brand new set of courtains....   a bed skirt and a canopy for our bed...    It took me a long time and frequent trips to JoAnn's fabrics and lots of advice from the ladies there..  At the end... it look incredibly good..  

When my wife came back... she could not believe I actually did this...   I did not know I could sew....    It was a great project, I had fun, she loved it... and yes I got really good points and rewards...  

Good you are doing stuff for the wife.   Great stuff....

ABSOLUTELY.....SHOW IT TO HIM!!!!!    Big HUGS and KISSES and THANK YOU's sometimes work to reinforce that the good things that he does...so he knows it was good...and the more you reinforce it with HUGS, KISSES and THANK YOU (and anything else you wish) perhaps the more he'll repeat it.

Kinda like training a DOG with treats to have him repeat the good behaviors.  Yup, training dogs = training men.

I'm mostly just kidding -- my hubby is actually pretty amazing.  But ditto on the dog/husband training similarities!  I'm doing both right now...double trouble!
