PROPS

PROPS go to Joey for being so FANTASTIC last week. He understood how hard it would be for me to get back to work, after being home with the kids for almost a year, not just mentally, but physically, too. I haven't been awake and out of the house at 6:15AM in almost a year!

My first day, I got up, showered, started to get ready (makeup, dress, etc.) and when I came out to tackle the kids, I'd discovered that Joey had woken and dressed them, packed their school bookbags and prepared they blankets and pillows (go to school each Monday and come home Fridays) and loaded it all in the car, and their shoes and a breakfast "snack" ready by the door for them for the car ride! For the cherry on top, Joey had packed a breakfast and lunch for ME, also ready to go. All we had to do was brush their hair and teeth, and we were out the door.

He also picked them up a couple times, allowing me to come home and start dinner, alone, or just relax for a bit.

Joey did this every day last week, without complaint. And while I sit inside doing not much more than blogging, pretty unmotivated today (sort of catching my breath from last week, not quite in the routine yet), Joey is outside, washing the car, working on the lawn, and doing general "house" stuff.

I should make Joey one of my cakes.

I tell you, what a guy!
