Another Oops Moment...

My husband is so sweet to me!

Yesterday I went to work at 8 AM, I came home at 10 PM. I worked a full 8 hours and then headed straight off to tutor two different people in Math 110.

I love tutoring and I love helping people to understand Math better. I especially love it even more when people WANT to learn more and actually understand it. Last night, really was enjoyable, but it was hard coming home so late.

I was hungry.
I was tired.
I was ornery.
I was cold.
I was sore.

All of those together are not a good combination for me.

When I came home, my husband ran outside to immediately meet me and help me carry all of my junk back into the house. He asked how I was, and I said I was hungry. He said that he had a surprise for me. So as I followed him through the house, I realized that he spent all day cleaning, and all the laundry was on the bed, all folded ready to be put away.

And then I went into the bathroom. My husband cleaned the whole bathroom, filled up a bubble bath with rose petals on the water. Candles all around the tub, the space heater was going, and there was some soothing jazz music in the background. Best of all, he had prepared a plate full of snack food (apples, crackers, cheese, grapes, etc.) food for me to eat.

So I decided to get into the tub, and he asked me if I would like a meal. And he brought me a really Yummy Cabbage Crunch Salad. I was eating it in the tub and I noticed that a glass plate was sliding and going to hit the floor, so I hurried and grabbed it (just in time to keep it from hitting the floor)... but in the process, i spilled my Salad in the tub. So now in addition to rose petals, I had lettuce, onions, grapes, and salad dressing in my nice warm bath. I felt so stupid. It really is funny, and if I could have taken a picture, I would have... but for obvious reasons, I didn't.

Then Michal does it again, he runs in and helps me fish it all out and creates a whole new bath for me to relax. He didn't even ask what happened, he just started laughing. It made me feel a lot better.

Needless to say, this definitely would make a spot in my "Oops Journal." But it was still a great surprise and made me really appreciate my husband for how much he loves me and takes care of me when he knows that I've had a hard day.
