What Will You Do...

I'm making tacos for dinner...does that count as loving? LOL

I did call him "buttercup" when he got home from work!

Mine is out of contact right now, so nothing. But when I see him again I will give him a great big hug.

5 loads of laundry

washed the dog

got kids to school, fed, on time, dressed and alive

made calls, wrote letter for a major insurance claim, which should save us over $1K

AND, gave him a huge hug, big kiss good by this morning

planned dinner

do i have to show more?

L., after reading your follow up....are you horny or something? Pregnancy hormones got you going??

I make fresh coffee for my husband every morning...so that when he wakes up, he can just put his coffee cup under the spout and pour (we have the Brewstation).

I kiss my husband EVERY DAY - not just a peck on the lips - but a kiss. I think it helps keep us connected.

I asked him to go with me to the dr. Normally I'm a very self sufficient warrior woman. Leaning on him and showing him that I need him was probably the most loving thing I could do. Every man wants to feel like our conquering hero sometimes.

tuna fish in the fridge ready for dinner (lol no joke i don't cook) cause i won't be home tonight...

always email love during the day - maybe some real love tonight if i don't fall asleep first... :-)

He is off today and had to take our oldest to school for late start and I didn't want him to be stressed out this morning so before I left for work I packed Ty's lunch, loaded his backpack and had both boys' clothes laid out on the couch so everything was ready when he got up :) He texted me and thanked me and said it was helpful b/c he woke up with a yucky cold and feels crummy. I also got all of Ty's football stuff together so he can just grab it all when it is time for practice.

okay so honestly- I showed him I loved him before we got out of bed and started the whirlwind that is our days-

When your spouse/ significant other gets home and starts winding down, make them a bowl of there most favorite ice cream with whip cream and chocolate syrup and rub there feet, But that’s just me :)

I got the kids up, fed, made their lunches, dropped them off at school and preschool, went to work, came home and did laundry, and now while he is at the gym I am making dinner... HE should be showing me a gesture of appreciation today!

HAHA i didnt see the lady below who wrote basically the same thing! lol..

I call my husband at work everyday to see what his ETA will be. I find it helps because he gets caught up at work, loses track of the time and gets home super late if I don't. He is a SMsgt. in the Air Force, so he is very serious at work and kind of reserved on the phone. Knowing this, I will flirt with him.

Today I called and said, "Hey, sexy, how's my main squeeze?" (super corny but makes him laugh)

He asked what was up and I said, "I really love you." He asked why because sometimes that precipitates a favor. I said, "Because your are wonderful and you are mine and I love you."

He ran a 5K today for work and I asked how it went and he said, "It was good. No big deal." I said, "I think it's super sexy you can just throw on shoes and do a 5K and it's no big."

Just things like that. It makes him feel loved, thought of, and desired.

If you want some ideas of little things you can do, you can PM me. Don't want to bore all with the details.

Cute - one thing. Don't send him a naughty picture on anything work-owned. Only on a personal phone!

My husband and I have developed several loving traditions over our 30 years together. Every day, we look into each other's eyes and express our devotion.

I don't much enjoy cooking, but I plan and make a beautiful, nutritious, carefully prepared meal from scratch most evenings. Occasionally he'll cook to give me a night off.

We usually trade foot-rubs in the evening over a Netflix movie. I give him backrubs at night to comfort his congenitally-contorted back.

And we never go to bed without our toothbrush ritual: one or the other of us will reenact some event from the day that we found funny or memorable. It's amazing how expressive a toothbrush can be.

Ugh. Nothing!
This past two weeks I've seen my husband for a total of five or six hours. When he gets home from work, I'm on my way out the door to a training - so we have minutes to exchange necessary updates, check in personally and say bye. When I get home, he's already asleep. When he wakes up, I'm still asleep. Rotating door, fo' sho.

Thanks for the reminder to connect. I'll try to think of something sweet.

Today specifically, I am making one of his favorites for dinner, homemade soup and fresh bread. He will be so happy when he walks in from a long day and smells that soup. Love how it makes the house smell.

And I always, always make sure to tell him that I love him and give him a hug and kiss before he goes anywhere, cause you just never know!

I could go on, but that would be too much work lol.

Put the kids' morning PBS shows on and got back into bed for quality time with him before leaving town this morning. Made him a cup of tea while he was getting ready for work, and showed him that I have made and packed dinners for the next 3 nights while I'm away. We were both leaving at the same time: him to work and the kids and I to visit my grandpa....I ran in like I forgot something and put a little note on my pillow for him to find tonight.

Instead of just meeting my hubby and the 2 kids at their physical and 2 year well baby checkup today (he's home with them Mon-Thurs and works weekends), I drove home and took the kids alone and told him to enjoy the hour and a half to himself!

I try to do say or do something (other than the standard hugs, kisses and I love yous every day) to show him how much I love and appreciate him.

Oh and I'm now going to send him a text after reading this just to say I love him!

Mine is on the road as usual making business for our company and I am home running the books, taking care of the home front and being volunteer mom at the high school where my daughter cheers.

He texted me earlier and we hit an all time record for sales this month already.

I sent him a text of thanks and let him know that his efforts were appreciated and provided us with an awesome quality of life.

When he flies in tomorrow, he will come straight to the football game to watch daughter cheer. He never misses one of her activities, even if it means leaving at 4am vs 8 am in the morning and getting a red eye flight.

When we all finally get home, I have his favorite bottle of wine chilled for a celebration and I will have some of his most favorite.. Hooter's 3 mile Island wings.

I also leave little love notes hidden in his suitcase where he can find them and sometimes I send a naughty text with a picture.
