Fairly uneventful day so far (I have decided I shouldn't be allowed out in public!) Not really, I have been doing housework (yawn) but off out in a minute to try and combine a walk with the exciting prospect of doing yet more shopping, that's the trouble with eating everything fresh, I seem to be buying fruit and vegetables practically every day! Oh, (yes cat, I heard you!) and cat food.... I feel like I am living the life of a 1950's housewife at the moment, I have become some weird domestic godess! Imagine full make up, lovely swishy dress, hair done and high heels? Now think the opposite, that's more like me! ha! I said I was living the life, I didn't say I looked like I was!
Anyhoo tonights dinner is in the slow cooker, I have had lunch, cat is giving me the evil eye (partly 'cos I haven't yet put away the evil hoover, but mostly because she knows that Tuna is on the shopping list) so I had better get on with the afternoon...

This is a way of letting him know that you have been thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they come home and the prospect of a good meal (especially his favourite dish) is part of the warm welcome needed. [*]Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so you'll be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh-looking. He has just been with a lot of work-weary people. [*]Listen to him. You may have a dozen important things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first - remember his topics of conversation are more important that yours. [*]Make the evening his. Never complain if he comes home late or goes out to dinner, or other places of entertainment without you. Instead, try to understand his world of strain and pressure and his very real need to be at home and relax. Don't complain if he's late home for dinner or even if he stays out all night. count this as minor compared to what he might have gone through that day. [*]Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soothing and pleasant voice. [*]Don't ask him questions about his actions or question his judgment or integrity. Remember he is the master of the house and as such will always excercise his will with fairness and truthfulness. You have no right to question him. [*]A good wife always knows her place. Hahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Hahahaaa! I can't breathe!! :8855:Stop it!! Hahaaaa
