I got pretty dang excited last night.
EXCITED.
And it all started with a simple beautiful little phrase out of my brides mouth. She looked across the room at me with her stunning gaze, smiled and said, "why don't we have a chill day tomorrow?"
I know it may not sound all that wonderful, but for those of you who know my wife know that a day to just stop and chill does not happen to often. She is a gal that always has a list and is always trying to cross things off. She does not stop very well. I even have to make her promise me these days to take a nap when I go to work. I gently remind her she is pregnant and how good it is for her. Other than those days it seems to be a steady pace with her.
So, for her to say "let's have a chill day" made my heart leap.
my mind flooded quickly with things like...
we could rent movies and stay in our pajamas all day.
we could build a love nest and snuggle on the floor while we do that
we could make snacks and not have a real meal all day
we could nap 3 times with no guilt
we could read
we could talk to our baby
we could re-energize
ahhh now that is a great chill day....I am ready for it; GREAT IDEA WIFEY!
But than she spoke her next sentence..
"we could vacuum and dust the upstairs, you could get the dimmer switch in, we could go to the garden and get the potatoes out and clean out all the plants that are done, and we can end the day battling the blackberry prickers getting the fruit God obviously never wanted us to get."
Yup. Her idea of chill is way different from mine. Different.
Here is to having a chill kinda day. The married way.
Maybe next time I will have to suggest the love nest chill kinda day.
