Brad recently had an epiphany and understands how hard it is to be a SAHM to our 3 peanuts and announced it on Facebook! Yes I looked outside to see if the pigs were flying... nope... pinched myself. Ouch! I'm awake! Which brings me to admit yes that's HOT. As a mom nothing is hotter than a dad being appreciative and/or being a good dad. It reminded me of this book (pic and link above) in the card shop I saw this week while at the mall. I was laughing so hard people were peeking around the corner! Anyway, its funny because we are so NOT the mushy super affectionate type of couple that people say "get a room" to, nor do we profess our undying love to each other on Facebook for all to see. Just not our style. If you asked us which TV couple is most like us -hands down Doug and Carrie from King of Queens. So yah, now give them a 2, 4, and 6 yr old... tired is an understatement! Who has time for "us" We sure don't! Honestly in the past 6 yrs we've had about half a dozen "date nights" (btw really funny movie -love Steve Carell and Tina Fey -and Mark Walberg w/ no shirt is a bonus). Pathetic I know and those so called experts out there say make time once a week. Ha! That just seems so impossible to me. If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm so NOT a scheduled person. I'm pretty laid back and go with the flow but I'm also super over protective about leaving my kids for someone else to watch other than family and they live a good 45 minutes away. Anyway back to sparking it up with the hubby... how do we keep our spark alive? Hmmm... well, for one a simple chat or message of appreciation goes a long way. So let each other know the things you appreciate. 2 -You don't have to go out on date and spend money or dress up to have a good time together. Some of my favorite nights are watching "our" TV shows (Game of Thrones or True Blood) or a good movie snuggled up on the couch after the kids go to bed. Even better playing Dance Central on Xbox Kinect! Hello FUN! I love watching my goofy husband trying to get down or rock out on Rock Band -I'm sure he has just a good a laugh at me singing as I do with him dancing. And I even attempted Madden Football with him! Sooo all I am is saying is a simple "I appreciate you" and alittle at home movie or game can keep that spark there :) Despite our Carrie and Doug moments we still manage to still have fun together.
