days 3-8 I think ;)




Day 3 was easy and so enjoyable I more than doubled it. Hugs are a natural part of our relationship, we hug all the time, and it brings us closer. Closer more than physically of course. It reunites us and charges us up too. Who doesn't feel good after a hug?

Day 4 was easy too and had a perk! It told me to give him a kiss first time I see him in the morning. As it turns out he goes to work well before I wake up each day so I did kiss him as soon he walked through the door. The perk you ask? NO morning breath! Woohoo it was great!

Day 5 I tell myself- self- aka Mother of all Things- he works hard for us, and yes sometimes money is tight, like scary tight, like lets get super creative with what is in the pantry tight. But he does what is best for us and he does it to the best of his ability. For those of you who don't know the Father of all Things is a bill payer, like the bills get paid, then we get the groceries, then there are extras. This was not an easy thing to do, I was a grocery, bill extra kind of girl. This used to cause lots of fights, but I have learned to remind myself he does it all for us, and he does it best. Thanks to his way we are able to move, we have good credit, we never had collectors calling. He is doing what is best for us!

Day 6 is easy, seeing as he is not a picky eater and he likes everything I make. But of course there are meals he LOVES. And of course the one he loves best is burgers with my homemade rolls. That being said- I planned far ahead to make sure the rolls were ready when the burgers got pulled off the grill. The smile I saw on his face- through the mustard- was enough that I remember why I make them. He loves it and it is a simple way to show him I care.

Day7 Sweet notes, it is so amazing how much of this we used to do when we were dating. I used to leave notes on his steering wheel all the time. SO I resorted to the old ways and stuck one to his wheel. He texted me and said it made him smile and made his day! Wow this is working!

Day 8 Date night is on the books..... We will see if we can actually make it. More often than not we want to bum around in comfy clothes and have a bonfire. Even given the chance we will choose family time at home over going out. BUT I am determined to go out. It will be coffee but that is good enough for me!


So I am finding this challenge fun, and easy. But it is making me focus on what little thing I can do to help him out and make life easier for him. He is in turn is doing the same thing for me- without even knowing he is doing it.

day 1 and 2 update...



Day 1 and 2 are done and gone. On day one I did ask what can I help you with today, and the Father of all Things told me he really needed help putting the pin shelves up. So together we did it, as a team. As it turns out when I helped him saw, hammer and sand the planks, he in turn had time to help me paint. It was much more enjoyable to paint together, than have him working on his project and me on mine. So day one was a success.

Day 2 was easy for me, I never correct him. I don't see the need, ever. I take it to heart that he has bad spelling but comes to me to help him spell something. It is just part of the Father of all Things, just like he has blue eyes, or a big heart, or drives slow. It is just him. I accept him fully, just as he accepts me and the things he could correct. And mind you I have quiet a few... like the way I say pillow- aka pellow, or milk- aka melk. I think day 2 went well also.

Day 3 is upon us, and I have yet to actually see him seeing as he is working out of town today. The hugging has been a bit hard, but I will make up for it when he gets home tonight. I'll fill you all in tomorrow on how the days challenge goes.

Until then think maybe you could try a few of these, and would it hurt your relationship? Could it help it?

30 Day Challenge


 

So above is a copy of the 30 day challenge that I will be doing for the month of April. This post was written late yesterday, and should have been published but I was so tired I forgot to hit publish. Besides for those of you who know me, would have sworn it was an April fool's joke!

So it is in essence the Mother of all Things to do list for the Month of April. I am curious to see if it make a difference in the relationship between the Mother and Father of all Things? It can't hurt right? Well much, number 29 looks pretty scary (say me while biting my nails).

So here goes nothing I say (while still biting my nails).
