Why I have the best husband on earth

Last night, lying on the bed, listening to my husband sing Jade her lullaby....
Thinking about all the things I have to get done before I can go to sleep...
Laundry, dishes, cleaning up the kitchen, straightening up the living room, putting away the rest of the groceries...
I have to do it all tonight.
I can't put it off until tomorrow, because there is so much to do in the morning...
Baking banana bread, getting cards done, wrapping presents, getting the kids ready, all before eleven so we will be on time to Great Grandma's house for a birthday lunch...
So much to do tonight...
So much to...
*Snore*

Dreading the chaos that would meet me this morning...
Wearily dragging myself downstairs to face the mess of unfinished tasks...
What's this?
Laundry done?
Dishwasher run?
Groceries put away?
Kitchen clean?
Even *gasp* a pot of fresh coffee waiting for me?
Dear God, I love this man!

Wasting Time

Seven o'clock
Dressed and ready to go;
Waiting for my date
For the farmer's market.

Gonna buy me some plants
Fruits, veggies, who knows;
Waiting for my date
For the farmer's market.

Wish she'd agreed
To an earlier time;
Waiting for my date
For the farmer's market.

So I wouldn't have to sit here
Tryin to think of this rhyme;
Waiting for my date
For the farmer's market.
