Need to Show Some Appreciation!!!

How about make tomorrow leftover night?

And, well, we all know what they really want--even if they had it last night too! LOL

You could always make tomorrow leftover night! Or, if we live in similar worlds, I would make him a drink and let him have some peace :) I would let him take it easy and I would do the not so fun parenting/household tasks for the evening. Not that this is hugely special but it helps to come home and be able to RELAX if you've been working hard.

First of all, I'm sure you're not a bad wife so don't tell yourself that. :)

If you don't have the truck and/or don't want to spend $, how about when
he gets home, you tell him to take off his shoes & "take a load off".
Don't ask him to help you w/anything if you're ok with that (the kids, setting table, dinner, dishes etc).
Just let him relax and get his dinner ready (even if it's leftovers), get him
something do drink, give him the remote, let him watch his fave tv shows
Later you can give him a short, quick massage.
Help him get his lunch ready for the next day (pack a nice note in there).
Write a short list of 5 things of why you love him & reasons you are so
thankful to have him in your life. Give it to him when he gets home.
Greet him w/a big hug & a peck on the cheek. Tell him you love him!

Make him a card telling him how much you appreciate and love him - put in on the table so he gets it when you sit down to dinner together....

You can make a special dinner tonight - make leftover dinner tomorrow night...see what you have in the freezer or fridge....

GOOD LUCK!!!

There is a book I have been reading called The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman. He says each of us has a primary love language and they are: Words of Affirmation, Acts of Service, Physical Touch, Receiving Gifts and Quality Time. Apparently we respond the most to one of these. Do you think your husband most likes to hear compliments or recognition for his hard work? Then I would do something that focuses on that. Does he really enjoy coming home to a clean house or putting on starched shirts and pants each day? Then acts of service might be his language. Sounds like Physical touch might be his language given what you described above.etc. etc. Does he like going for walks or maybe playing a great game of cards with just you is up his alley. Then it could be spending quality time with you. Perhaps there is something he has been wanting for awhile then that would be receiving gifts-you get the idea. Think about what he seems to respond to the most and focus your reward for him in that direction. Hope this helps!

Is there something your husband would enjoy doing this weekend? Get the tickets and surprise him with them. That gives you both time to plan and be happy, fresh, and ready to go to the event.

Someone else may have a much better idea, but this is for starters.

Put the kids to bed and watch a movie together.... find something "On Demand" that he has wanted to watch, especially if it's something you wouldn't... pop some popcorn and a beer.

I'm all about the food!

Chocolate Chip cookies?
Chocolate cake with cherries?
Hot Fudge Sundae?

Forget the leftovers...Cook his favorite meal, light some candles,and put on some soft music...Even if you have nothing to cook, reheat the leftovers and do the same....candlelight makes food taste better ; )

Why not just tell him how proud you are if him. Sometimes that's all a husband needs us to be told how much you appreciate him and everything he does. Is there something yall used to do when yall dated or first for married? My husband and I played scrabble or put a puzzle together. Just being together and laughing. Good luck.
