he wants to know if they will ever stop talking
August 18, 2006
Rob is home from his lengthy vacation of fishing, camping, and sleeping in disgusting negative star motels in the wilds of Wyoming and Montana. A vacation which sounds like a trip to Hell to me. Seriously.
He arrived home last night at about midnight. Shortly afterward we got into bed. And not too long after that (but long enough if you get my my drift ::wink wink::) we were joined by our 3 and 1 yr olds. As we lay together in the bed, trying to get comfortable with toddler arms across our faces, protecting our soft mid-sections from their spastic legs, I thought it is good to have him home.
At 8:45 this morning he was mopping the kitchen floor. And what did I do while he was mopping? I worked on my laptop, shushed him and pointed to my empty coffee cup, which he promptly filled for me.
Yes, it’s good to have him home.

Welcome home Rob. I always love it when someone fills my empty coffee cup.

Coffee boy…Oh coffee boy. Hey, maybe that could be a ‘thing’. ;0)

*wink wink, nudge nudge*
August 18th, 2006 at 11:08 amI agree that vacation sounds like a trip straight to hell! I am glad he is back, keep the coffee coming!
August 18th, 2006 at 11:11 amAw, that’s a great guy to have around. Mine’s been home this week too and I keep offering to support him so he can be a stay at home dad/husband.
August 18th, 2006 at 11:34 amI’m enjoying mine while I can — football season starts soon, and (it’s not what you think) he works at most home games, not to mention extra overtime producing coach’s shows, etc. Being married to the media has its ups and downs.
August 18th, 2006 at 12:34 pmNegative-star motels in Wyoming and Montana? I think I’ve been there….
Have fun….
August 18th, 2006 at 12:40 pmIt’s always nice to have’em home again. I enjoy the “alone time” also though . . . oh yeah, I don’t have any kids to look after in this stage of my life.
August 18th, 2006 at 1:13 pmIt seems like you got yourself a good catch.
August 18th, 2006 at 1:46 pmGosh! I just love it when the priorties in a home are in order…..such as being able to just point and the cup will be refilled….there’s no need to even speak. Have a wonderful weekend.
August 18th, 2006 at 2:12 pmYou got your enchilada stuffed, didn’t you?
August 18th, 2006 at 2:17 pmSounds really nice to have him home - what a good guy you found (even if his choice of vacation is a little strange):)
August 18th, 2006 at 2:36 pmI’m just wondering … is that a king or queen sized bed?
August 18th, 2006 at 2:44 pmI think that is one of the sweetest things I’ve ever read.
August 18th, 2006 at 2:46 pmWelcome home Rob!
Husbands are wonderful inventions. Especially ours. They are cuddly, feel good in our arms and they clean!
August 18th, 2006 at 3:48 pmMine was home for six straight weeks for paternity leave last year. He fixed me breakfast and lunch every day. I almost croaked when he went back to work and I had to do for myself. Isn’t it good to have a great hubby?
August 18th, 2006 at 4:23 pmLOL- good man. and i am LMFAO @ the camping reference
August 18th, 2006 at 4:59 pmAt what age do the kids stop climbing in the parent’s bed? Mine is 6 and is in ours more nights than not.
August 18th, 2006 at 6:17 pmNow he’s somebody to keep around!
August 18th, 2006 at 6:50 pmYou have a very good husband!
August 19th, 2006 at 7:17 amPlease tell me this was just a dream. He didn’t really mop the floor and top off your coffee, did he? Because if so I’m divorcing my husband and stalking yours.
August 19th, 2006 at 9:03 amAfter seeing you in action, you deserve to kick back and point to the coffee cup!
August 19th, 2006 at 5:16 pmMopping the floor and refilling coffee? Sounds just like my Hubby. . . Who happens to be on vacation right now (but with all of our kiddos in tow, me home alone.)
August 20th, 2006 at 12:25 amDang it, where do they make these mythical husbands, that mop floors & top off your coffee, at 8:45 am no less-
