Around here I think sometimes we are a little old school. I thank my husband a lot for his efforts. Tonight it dawned on me that I do try to make a good practice of it. For even little things like spraying for ants which I've just asked him to do out of the blue. Not a big deal right? Probably not. The other day when I vacummed the pool, he thanked me after. "Thanks babe". I don't know. It makes you want to be more of a team and help each other out. Hokey, I know.
I also think that I don't like it when someone says, "shut up" to someone else. Hush? Totally fine. Dropping the F bomb when I get ticked (kidless of course)? Yep, I can hang with that. Totally screwed up morals on that huh? I don't know. There is something about telling someont to shut up. I think there is something reprehensible about looking at them and saying "Shut Up". Knowing that, in the past two weeks, I have said just those words to not only the Oldest just yesterday during a throw up fest with the Littlest, but my husband when I slammed my finger in a door and he joined in some laughter with others around the table. I actually told him to Shut Up. That is SO not me. This is big to me, probably little to you. I am in huge self awareness overdrive lately, trying to figure it all out.
I can tell you that appreciation goes a long way. Helps make for good stuff. At least I think so. We all have our challenges and stuff like this just helps make the tough times better.
-how bout the Littlest says, "God Bless you mamma" when I sneeze. I guess it does rub off.
Love that.

You know we say Thank you a lot around here too. So much so that at the end of the day Joseph will say "Thank you daddy for taken me to the store" or "Thank you daddy for dinner" so polite indeed. Derek is pretty polite but Joseph has it DOWN.
It kills me when people treat strangers better than they treat thier spouses or children. It's just wrong. Treat EVERYONE the very way you would like to be treated. Period.
