Still Lucky...

Do you hear that song playing on my blog?

(Are you sick of it yet? Sorry, but I can't say that I am!)

It is LUCKY by Jason Mraz~ That is the favorite song around our house these past few months. I don't usually say "Lucky", I say "blessed". But I do feel lucky...and here are (some) of the reasons why~

When I played that song for my husband and told him, it makes me think of him, he went on-line, found the music and learned to play it. Just for me...

• He sings LUCKY to me, so much so that our kids are now saying, "UHHH! NOT THAT SONG AGAIN!!!"

He is the resident bathroom cleaner. (We have four bathrooms, so trust me-he is earning his keep!) I don't mind picking up his clothes (too much) if he is willing to keep his part-time job of bathroom cleaner.

• I have mentioned before that he is also our chef. I am not kidding. He cooks most evenings, and always makes us a pancake breakfast on Saturdays. (Our littlest one has severe food allergies, and he has to alter most of the recipes so that our baby can eat with us. He even searched until he found a special pancake mix so Itchy Baby is not left out of our special Saturday mornings-that in particular makes me tear up.)

• He is under a bunch of stress with his job. (One word-Automotive...) and in January, we had a silly argument on the way home from church. The kids were listening and watching...That afternoon, he brought home pink roses and apologized in front of the kids to me.
  

  (My flowers! A few days later after wilting some!)
  

• NOW FOR THE ROAD TRIP ANSWER (...and why I am luckier than I even thought...): We've been celebrating Valentine's Day for a week. His idea-but now I know why... (I make it a point to go along with good ideas that involve gifts!) Tin Man has arranged for me to go this weekend to visit my very dearest friend in the world who is 10 hours away!!!! He gave up our Valentine's Day so I can go be with my friend who I miss so much-and his night will be spent babysitting some of our friend's kids while they go out. {*If you forgot who my friend is, read this post: (http://lionstigersandboysohmy.blogspot.com/2008/12/i-miss-my-friend.html)} So to answer yesterday's question...I am in VIRGINIA! Right Now! With My Dearest Girlfriend!!! (And I took my prayer journal-so even when I am falling asleep far from home, your requests are with me and I am praying with you...)

Well, that was just the short list. I should add one though:

He also doesn't make fun of me when I am doing Wii Dance, Dance, Revolution. He so could too. I dance like Elaine on Seinfeld... (I am serious~you have NO idea!)

Now, it is your turn. What makes you lucky to have the one you are with?

(...Happy Valentine's Day from one bad ~and I don't mean that in a good way~ dancer!)
