The fellas at the motorpool loved the cookies. Orion came home with lots of compliments for me..and a few funny stories. There are really 2 guys there that I really feel sorry for..2 guys that those cookies were truly meant for. I won't use names..but one of them? Said "So..your wife..she makes cookies?" "Yeah" "Does she make cakes and things..?" "Yeah." "Oh.." and just kind of looked down all sad-like. I was like "Orion! You find out when their birthdays are and I will make them cakes!" They now want me to make cookies for them every Monday. Well, that's cute.
The jeans? They finally arrived. I put them on "aww man.. I hate this. O, I think I should take them in to be altered. My legs aren't this chubby..and the ass is saggy." I looked up an Old Navy around here that actually carries maternity stuff..and tomorrow? We're hopefully just going to drive to Louisville to exchange them for a smaller size (ah, saying that will never get old. SMALLER size, please)..and kind of use that as an excuse to go wander around the area for a while tomorrow. Aw, yeah, suckas.. I feel a stroller day coming on!
Dear Mr. Ronald McDonald,
I love you. You actually kind of scare me..but I love your people for creating the fruit 'n yogurt parfait. It tingles the tastebuds and makes me smile. So, thank you, Ronald..for loving to see me smile for a dollar.
Forever Grateful,
Cuddlebug

Their wives don't cook for them? Gawd... that's so sad. I have always taken pride in the fact that even after a 8, 10, or 12 hour day at work, I can cook a decent meal for Brian and maybe even do a little laundry and cleaning so that he doesn't have to. But damn, if you're a stay at home wife/mom, I see no reason why your husband can't come home to a clean house and a warm meal.
Grrr, some women make me so mad. Now don't get me wrong, I'm all for womens rights and all that crap, but I think it's also important to take care of your husband. I have always told Brian that if I'm ever a stay at home mom, that I would always take care of everything at the house so that he doesn't have to. And I wouldn't do it because he makes me, or because he asks me to... I would simply do it because I WANT to.
That's why I admire you so much, Abby. You're a strong woman and you don't let anyone walk all over you. You take pride in taking care of your family, not because you have to, but because you want to. You're not one of those women who will let their husbands work their ass off all day, and then bitch at them when they come home about how hard *her* day was, instead of letting him put his feet up and relax a bit.
I think you're awesome for taking care of your family as well as you do. And I wish some of those wives would learn something from you.
*steps off of soap box* Okay, I'm done. That's my two cents for the day. Ta-da!
awww..that's pretty cute of you. don't get me wrong..there *are* days..like the weekends..where I don't want to be cleaning all day. instead I'd rather be spending time with my husband and doing things as a family, ya know?
and lately? I haven't been cooking as much..only because all of the smells of cooking have made me iller than ill. it's not that I don't *want* to cook..I just tend to feel like vomiting when I even go in there. I at least try to cook 1 thing a day..instead of all of the meals. golly, I can't wait till the 1st trimester's over and I start feeling like myself again!
but the for sure thing is orion never comes home to a pig sty. I can at least still pride myself on that much.
but you're cute, hillybean. orion's hoping that my making cookies for the fellas a few days ago is going to start a..competition of the wives. he says they're all going to try to be better than me..but that it'll never work cause my food will always be yummier than anything they can come up with. that's sweet..but I hardly doubt they're going to start cooking and baking..just because one soldier's wife did.
