I ha...All kidding aside, Susi,I know what you mean. I have been thinking about this. It's not so much that your husband *expects* everything to be spotless and perfect, or that he would be grossed out if your hair was flat and you weren't wearing make-up, it's that us women WANT to please our men, and make their homecoming pleasant and comforting. For you it may be cleaning the house with a toothbrush and having perfict hair....for Lis it may just be getting the kid's stuff picked up so J doesn't fall over it; for me, it's having a nice meal, and a listening ear for a man who has been laboring outside in the heat all day on a farm. He expects nothing. But I think we do it as a love offering for our husbands who are out there providing for and protecting us. Nothing wrong with that!Hosannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08410674663475994132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8831164461333348108.post-59254682087023185472009-05-28T14:50:01.970-07:002009-05-28T14:50:01.970-07:00LOL!

As long as he can walk from the door to the couch in the evenings, without falling and breaking his neck, he doesn't notice the rest :)<br /><br />Glad to hear he's back and safe and sound.lislynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10226221709279544399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8831164461333348108.post-41926878485383541582009-05-28T10:13:05.606-07:002009-05-28T10:13:05.606-07:00I wondered what had happened to you these past few...I wondered what had happened to you these past few days..... Say, if you don't scrub things with a toothbrush, would Ben notice? I just know that even if I did scrub things with a toothbrush any other cleaning brush, K wouldn't notice it. Now if it is over the top messy, he might; otherwise my husband doesn't notice or care about such things. Except when HE cleans something..... then he's like: "Did you notice that I bleached the toilet?" "Yes, and I noticed that half of the new bottle of bleach is gone...." :)<br />Great post.Hosannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08410674663475994132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8831164461333348108.post-12697690654559988482009-05-27T20:56:21.424-07:002009-05-27T20:56:21.424-07:00LOL, thanks!!

I think! :-) I like your description particularly of our disciplining style! :-) Although I am definitely more cheerful with an audience! <br /><br />And thanks for saying nice things about our marriage. I definitely am frequently convicted of having a complaining spirit, but it was very nice to talk about things to an understanding friend and to hear encouragement! <br /><br />It sounds like as far as separations go, this one was short and sweet for both of you! Still not desireable but definitely time apart, well spent!Matt and Laurie Beardsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02547447858791282784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8831164461333348108.post-70600956305595186792009-05-27T18:33:40.606-07:002009-05-27T18:33:40.606-07:00What a beautiful description!
