Sometimes it's the little things ...

In spite of me putting up several posts in the past few weeks, we've just been through a month and a half where Frank and I have not had a lot of 'just us' time ...

March was a month of illness. First Frank with shingles which turned into ocular shingles ... nasty bit of business and at the same time he picked up a hard to shake cold/cough thingy ... which I in turn got a week or so later.

The month of April has been taken up with intensive family time, including me just coming off a 5 day stint full time grandsitting away from our home, while daughter and SiL went on vacation. I came home last night absolutely exhausted ... not that any of it was strenuous and our boys are not hard to look after. However, it's easy to forget what fulltime day to day parenting looks like.

Frank tucked me into bed at 9 PM ... I of course then woke up at 4 AM ... 7 hrs sleep is my max. I was back to get boys off to school again this morning. When I got home, Frank was off to town to help a friend with some work ... as I walked into the kitchen, I found to a post-it stuck to the top of my laptop ...
.... as only he can, he's made my day ...

    And sometimes it's the "big" things, if you know what I mean! HA! Seriously, glad you're back home and your man is ready and waiting to love on you. Hugs, Windy

    Aww, very sweet NJ. The little things mean so much and aren't that little. Hope life settles some and that illness stays away.

    Don't they say "ships passing in the night"? I think I know just how you will say thank you to your Frank for being so thoughtful. Have fun.

    Hugs From Ella

    NJ: Hard to remember how busy we once were with jobs and children, plus maintenance of house and yard, shopping, laundry, etc. Glad you both are now better, and you can have time for yourselves. Little notes make everyday nicer.

    NJ,
    Like Frank's love note, it is always, always the little things, the details, that make a friendship, a relationship, a marriage. sounds like Frnak already knows how the little things count.

      Hi Meredith ... yes the little details count .. Frank has always been good about buying a card, writing a note or bringing home flowers here and there ... usually right out of the blue and often when I needed it most ... nj

    Awww, that is very sweet. :) I love when couples do things like that for each other. I used to be good at it, and have to admit, after having a child, stopped doing it as much. This is a good reminder that I really need to get back to it. :) Thank you for sharing. :)
    Hugs, EsMay
