Housewife-ing Happiness

Dear Idaho,

It might sound stupid, but last night was really great. I cleaned. And I liked it. I cleaned the bathroom, reorganized the cleansers and put away towels. I emptied the dishwasher, cleaned the garbage disposal, washed the dishes and wiped down the countertops and stove. I emptied a couple trash cans, spread carpet powder and vacuumed. I cleaned the coffee table and put away odds and ends. I got ready to do laundry tomorrow and made a mental list of things to do to get ready for Saturday's dinner party.

I cooked. Jalapeno poppers! Yum. And I tried to find matching silverware to go with J's beautiful china for the dinner party. I can't wait!

I took a long hot shower, dried my hair, and climbed into bed with a couple Newsweeks and Law and Order, and a couple minutes later, J got home. Even after all these months (almost a year!) I still smile when ever he walks through the door. I don't think I'll ever get tired of him. He ate, showered, then crawled into bed next to me - and that's always my favorite part of the day. Laying in bed, talking with him. He makes me so happy and I'm so lucky to be with him. I never want to take him for granted, never want to take his efforts to please me for granted. I love him so much.
