The Cake Culprit
Have I mentioned that this month has been so crazy for our family? Chris basically works every night and is sleeping during the day… Our kids were sick for two straight weeks…Therefore.. I am glad that it’s Friday and I only have one more week to incur the wrath of the “February Schedule”…I also have a vacation to look forward to… My husband–knowing me good and well…surprised me with a one week, child free, vacation for the first week in March. I’m SOO excited..He is so great. I have him on my mind today. Being that this month is difficult.. it’s been hard for me to figure out little kinks like… when I am going to go to the grocery store, or Walmart, take the kids to their respective Doctor’s yearly check-ups….anyway.. so this moring, Chris so graciously offered to drive Will to school along with the other two so I could make a dash to the grocery store and stock up on as much food as I could… It was like I was on a supermarket game show this morning..racing through the aisles.. grabbing this and that. Anyway… we are good. I have been blessed with an awesome Husband.. yes, I’ve got one of the good ones. I like to remind myself of these things especially on days when I encounter situations as I did this morning.
So I returned from shopping and was putting the groceries away. Chris, so I thought, stepped out into the garage. I assumed he was doing some kind of man thing.. like getting the trash out or cleaning out his car… or just something with tools… I don’t know. Anytime Chris steps out into the garage and he’s NOT going somewhere, he’s usually working on something. However, suddenly I see him come out of the utility room, which is near our garage back door. He is wearing a smirk on his face and holding a salad fork in his hand. He’d been there awhile. When perplexed as to what he could be doing in the laundry room with a fork… I suddenly remembered that I had Will’s very OLD and GROSS birthday cake sitting in there needing to go in the trash.
“Chris… HAVE YOU BEEN EATING CAKE!!! that cake is old… it’s been sitting out… wasn’t it all dry?”
“..ummm….well…..I sort of scraped off the outsides and just ate from the center… it wasn’t too dry” he replies. There was still white icing in the corners of his mouth.
“Ok, that’s gross and ridiculous…….you’re getting blogged!” I answer laughing.
To which he responds…”Jenny, I can’t live my life in fear of being blogged all the time. That’s not fair.” He leans in to kiss me…ooo..the smell of old chocolate cake overwhelms me….umm…gonna have to pass on that one. …… now even closer.. .I just start cracking up at ALL of the icing STILL in and around his mouth. Ok, so… I’m a little giddy today… my husband still cracks me up. Look around your family and find the humor in these sweet people that we love and live with. Everyone… have a great weekend…..laughing!
