It's the little things that make you happy!

Yesterday we had received an order for 6 dozen eggs to be delivered on Tuesday (today), that was on top of an order we received last Thursday for 10 dozen eggs for Tuesday (today). So last night we were preparing 16 dozen eggs for delivery, doesn't seem like a big deal UNTIL you have to arrange each dozen. Our labels all say "a rainbow of eggs in every carton". Who had that dumb idea? ME! So each carton has to have red, dk brown, olive, mint green, white, cream, pink, speckled, and various shades of brown. :/ They do look pretty though. Just as we'd finished washing and packing we got a text for 4 more dozen.

Finished at 11:30 pm. . I ended up falling asleep on the couch, so tired.

HERE"S THE GOOD PART... I wake up this morning, kind of late 6:30, put on my coffee, start the laundry, and head out to the living room to go upstairs. My DH had already started up the woodstove! so I realize he's still getting ready to leave. I went back out to the kitchen to start my morning (another cup of coffee ). DH loads up the eggs, kisses me goodbye and leaves. I head upstairs to take a shower and ...... DH MADE THE BED!!!!

Ok, so maybe it's not a big deal to all you ladies out there whose husbands already make the bed, but for me, this is a RARE occasion!!!
I was so shocked! He even put the throw pillows on. He literally "threw" them on. We ladies all know throw pillows are strategically placed, but I'm NOT complaining . HE MADE THE BED!!! :bun :bun :bun

Silly? Probably, but it sure made my day! 20 dozens eggs and the bed made!

Sounds like a good start of the day!

I've still got egg cartons from when we had our chickens that are not being used. Offered them to the lady who bought the majority of the flock and haven't gotten a reply. Don't want to throw them away because it's a waste of money. Wish I could find a way to get them to you, I know y'all could use them. There's like 20 boxes. They are just the ones from TSC. If there was a way to get them to you somehow you could have them free of charge.

I tell you...there is something in the air today...this morning I'm up and doing my thing with the baby chicks and dogs, think hubby is still sleeping...then hear the sound of the vaccum....what????? Am I dreaming???? Not enough coffee for my addled brain???? Nope....he woke up and vaccumed...that is a new happening here

@ marlow- I'm going to be up/out your way in a few months! I think it would be cool just to meet you!

@Bon- o.k. ... so you get it!! Whew, was beginning to wonder... does everybodys husband already make the bed? Yours was vacuuming... What is going on???

If mine starts vacuuming I will be getting real nervous! Put it this way, he told me he fixed the leaf blower for me. Yeah, "for me"!
Just like he fixed the tires on the deere "for me" and the weedwacker "for me".

Can't complain, he makes dinner about 4-5 times a week.... for me!

I'd love to meet you! The cartons aren't going anywhere. Unless my friend finally tells me she wants them. I can easily hold them for you though if I need to. I think I'll be moving them to the storage building though so they quit taking up valuable space in the kitchen.

My DH vacuumed the other weekend when we were cleaning up the house. Just getting him to give the boys their bath is an accomplishment for me! Granted most nights he is working anyway so can't help with bath time/bedtime. It's nice the nights he is home though and volunteers to help out with that routine.

ETA: My DH rarely cooks for the family. Of course most of the week he is working the night shift though so I have to get supper ready for him before he heads to work. Even when he cooks for us it's simple stuff (like chili) or from a box. Any real homemade meals are my doing.

Can you all send some of this 'air' up my way?! I'd probably keel over and DIE if my hubby got up and starting cleaning! (Southern...my husband makes the bed every NIGHT...yes...RIGHT BEFORE he gets in...he has to 'make' the bed!) But I'm right there with you. That's an AWESOME start to your day....I'm happy for you.

My suspcious brain would be trying to figure out what they're buttering you up for! Maybe extra turkey or cranberry sauce on Thanksgiving? Or saving brownie points for their vacation time? hmmm....either way...I say ENJOY it! Now draw a warm bubble bath....and relax. Or cuddle with D next to the woodstove!

I'm up here wishing the water/air/whatever is going around down in NC will make it's way up to the Panhandle!

Edited to add - you don't EVER want my DH to cook! (Well...if you actually want to EAT, that is!)

Haha. I need some of that air too! I'm going out of town and asked Dbf to A. Clean the stove, B. Clean the toilet when i'm gone. I betchya one of the 2 things wont get done. Yesterday he was supposed to cash a check for me and pick up new windshield wiper blades for the truck. I got the money, no wipers though.. Actually I just called him as I was typing this out because it reminded me to see if I can pick some up on the way out of town. Hah, He said he had already texted me this morning that he picked them up and to stop by on my way out. Maybe it is in the air!!

Ps-People make the bed?!! haha We each sleep with our own comfortor and spread them out as were getting in. Actually I always go in and spread my blanket out when he goes to bed.

CocoNUT...I actually make the bed at night before getting in too...no point in making it in the morning since hubby often has an afternoon napthirty, so what's the point??? But, I like it all made before I go to bed...he carries the same odd gene I do
