Extra Points for my Hubs :D

I think he finally gets it. Maybe he is finally HEARING me, not just watching my lips move. Last night, around 9 I said that I needed to run out and get milk, and gatoraid. He says "oh, i can go do that." Me "what? really? Wow, that'd be great. " NO WAY. He NEVER does stuff like that. Sweet, made my whole night better. Then today, I called him to ask about plans for tonight. One of my gf's called and wanted to know if I was availible for dinner later. He said that he was planning on staying up north to cut wood. I was upset, not b/c I couldn't go out, but because he never mentioned it to me that he wasn't coming home from work till 9 ish. But, ok, I wasn't going to make an issue out of it, other than to say that I wished he would have mentioned it earlier. We have plans to go camping this weekend, and he was going to see about taking tomarrow off of work. So I asked him about that while we were talking. He said he prly could, but that he didn't think that he wanted to, and I could just meet him up north when the kids and I get up there. That upset me, b/c that means that i would have to do all of the packing, not just clothes for all of us, but all the camping equipment as well, time it right so I can nurse the baby so she isn't fussy in the car, and then hang out in holiday weekend traffic on our tore up free ways for 3 hrs, by myself w/ screaming kids i'm sure. How about NO. I told him that I was hoping he could be home to help out w/ packing and kids- 4 days of camping w/ 2 little kids AND and infant= lots of shit! And its rustic- there is not electricity, or bathrooms- all about nature. So, if that's the case, I really have no desire to go. Anyway, phone call ended, and my mom brought home Avery(she kept her over night ) and she was a BRAT. You know how grandparents are, let them stay up all night, and eat sugar, then bring them home at thier worst. She actually for real gave her cookies for breakfast-you can imagine the state she was in. Add that to my mounting frustration w/ the overwhelming things that I need to accomplish today, including groceries, laundry, house work, naps, picking up Max and dropping him off at school, and no hubby till 9 at night- I was bummed. But then, a mircle came my way. My hubs called me back and said that he would be home earlier enough for me to go out w/ my friends, and he would take the day off tomarrow! What?! Who are you and what did you do w/ my hubs???? YES! Yeeehaw. He thought of me first. And not because he has his own agenda, but he heard me, and wanted to please me, and make me happy. I can assure you that he will be handsomely(sp?) rewarded for that :D It will be a fantastic evening in the blue household for sure :)
