Don't You Know I love You When.....

[Piratelvr1121]

I watch a show I really am not all that into just to spend time with you, especially if I read a fanfic written for that show to proofread it for you.

I love my nephew so much that I let him move in with us. He was from West Philly and had a few guys in his neighborhood making trouble . He got in a fight one day. His mom got scared and sent him to live with us.

Well, I hope that marrying him & having my DH's kids was enough to convince him that I love him.  If not, maybe he knows it when I buy his favorite beer even though I'm a martini girl.

Lemme guess, you live in Bel Air?

When I am done in the mornings I leave the space heater on so the rest of the family doesn't have to suffer shivering clothes changes and icey toilet seats. I suffer through as the earliest riser, so they don't have to.

I make DP peanut butter and sweet pickle or Miracle Whip and banana sandwiches. Hands sticky, and both combinations make me retch - but she loves them.

Come to think of it, I think making her scrambled eggs every single morning (even weekends) around 7am when she gets hungry should count too. I never get to sleep past 8 before she's nudging me "honey.... can I have some breakfast.... please?"

I make Dh his favorite "gross" sandwiches too. I also buy little threats that he loves but I can't eat to put in his lunchbox for work. I make sure there is butter on one side of the bread, miracle whip on the other and ketchup between the slices. I make sure there is plenty of sliced up, frozen bananas in the freezer at all times for his smoothies. I also was his undercrackers and socks to his specifications, folding them the way he likes and making sure his drawers are full.

I also let him watch what he wants when he's home. Even if it bores the holy heavy eyelids out of me. He works a lot and I'm home so I spoil him when he's home bc I can pretty much do anything I want when he's away.

I also bring him breakfast in bed sometimes. I even bring him ketchup for his eggs even though I find this so insulting to my cooking.

In response to the post above mine... I love the typos.  "little threats," "undercrackers"

My roommate's version of "don't you know..." is when he goes outside and mows the grass without complaining (much) on his days off because I am allergic to cut grass.  I do have medicine, and if I stay inside it doesn't get to me TOO badly, but going out and mowing would send me into full on allergic reaction even with the meds on board. 

My version?  I buy bulk packs of various things he likes for his lunch and snacks, like raw almonds and big jars of applesauce.  I then break them down into snack packs that he can grab and toss into his lunchbox... all so he can sleep in a little longer (he works nearly 12 hour graveyard shifts).

If I get up on the roof to help you.  Ever since my hiking accident I've had an irrational fear of heights/falling.  I can get up on a ladder, but taking that step onto the roof is pure torture.

Dear Daddy --

Please know that I love you when I ask you questions. Even though I have the knowledge to search and find the answer on my own, I still like your personal take on things.

I'll listen to your long-winded answers. I'll give input as to what I've learned by myself and you are certainly allowed to discount my input, saying that your way is better. I trust your judgement.

I am your child. Even though you're 80 years old and I've been on my own for quite a few years, I still need you . . . not for answers or advice, but knowing that you still need to feel important in my life.

That's why I ask you questions that I don't really need answers to.

Thank you for always being there for me.

When even though I'm so hungry I only get the ingredients needed to cook dinner, instead of copping out and getting ready made food. Then I follow the recipe to make the healthy enchiladas and wait the 25 minutes for them to cook. Self, that's how much I love you and am committing to the healthier lifestyle to get health back under control.

*I know it's corny but it was a big deal for me to cook a healthy dinner after such a long day.

When I don't wipe away the wet kisses on my cheek.    Yes they are slobbery but since he's just learning about giving kisses and giving them spontaneously, I'm not about to complain. Even if I do pull away when I feel teeth.

Sometimes I can't tell if he's trying to kiss me or eat me, and as our name's not Donner, I have to draw the line somewhere.

Haha! Undercrackers was intentional. However, I love little threats. I may have to adapt that into my vocabulary when making DH's lunches. My phone sometimes knows me better than I do.

Recipe pretty please? Those sound yummy!

When I clean the little thing that builds up under your big toe that you can't get to.

When I make anything that involves chicken skin because you like it.

When I wake up at 3:30 to kiss you goodbye on your way to work and I don't have to work that day.

[heartmug]

When I take out the trash.  I really do think it is your job, since I do the cooking and the cleaning up afterwards, but when I see that you had a long, exhausting day of work, I just do it myself.
