Braggin' Bout Hubby

I just have to brag a bit about the wonderful man to whom I am married. One thing you have to know about Mo...he likes to relax. Vacation time for him means no work, no lists, no chores, nothing! However, a vacation at home (for me) means being able to get all the stuff done that I've been putting off for weeks. Obviously, there is a massive difference between our two outlooks.

We decided to not go anywhere this Thanksgiving as we went to Dubai last summer, are hoping to make it to India this summer, have a new baby coming in February, which means we have to save TONS of money! With a five-day-weekend looming ahead of us, I made my list, and Mo planned on getting lots of TV watched and books read. What ended up happening was not what Mo quite expected!

I cleaned the house, decorated it for Christmas, completed some shopping, wrapped Christmas presents, graded some papers, and got a haircut. Mo was able to install a ceiling fan in the nursery, fix the vacuum cleaner that I broke while cleaning the house, painted a white spot in our bathroom, paid the bills and helped put up Christmas lights outside the house. We have also been able to watch plenty of hours of TV, and he has read his book every night before bed. He was such a good sport about doing everything I asked of him, even when every step of the way presented him with challenges and obstacles that took hours to overcome. What a guy!
