Does anyone know what this is?

That just so happens to be Rich’s laptop.

Any guesses as to why it is laying flat open like that?

Well, apparently if a toddler grabs a hold of a laptop screen and pulls backwards on the screen really hard it can cause permanent damage.  To the laptop that is.  Not the toddler.  No toddlers were harmed during this experiment.

Now the screen will not stay up, it either slams closed or falls backwards like it is in the picture.

So I suggested maybe using some duct tape- put the screen at the correct angle, attach some duct tape it to the screen and then to the keyboard part- and it would hold the screen up.  Rich looked at me like I was a crazy, stupid girl.

I asked Rich if I could please take a picture before he fixed it.  I was trying not to laugh, but it was one of those times that I just couldn’t help myself.

He said “NO!”  I told him that someday he might be able to laugh about it and he would surely want a picture to look back on.  He repeated his previous answer “NO!”

Rich’s laptop is a couple of years old and he has been looking for a new one anyways, so I’m not sure why he can’t find the humor in all of this.

So, Rich took the laptop apart trying to figure out how to make the screen stay up.  He couldn’t fix it.

While Rich was off looking for some duct tape I took a quick picture.  I haven’t had a chance to sneak another picture now that it is “fixed.”  But I will take one and I will post it as soon as possible.

Hailey has this little cup that came with her set of play dishes she got for Christmas.  She recently decided that she wants to try drinking out of a regular cup rather than a sippy cup.  So, she carries this little cup around and hands it to me every once in a while and says, “The waa peeezzzz”  (the water please).  And I usually put a little water in the cup for her.

So, the other night while Rich was riding around the living room on her Dora car, Hailey handed the cup to him and then waited for him to drink it.  So, he took it a sip.

“This water tastes funny to me.  Where did she get this water?”  He asked me.

So, I told him I had been giving her water from the sink for her little cup.

A few minutes later Rich saw Hailey take her cup, dip it into Dottie’s water bowl and proudly announce “The waa.”

Okay ladies, let’s be honest- we’re pretty good at complaining about our husbands.  But we married our guys for a reason- because we love them.  So, stop and think about why you love your hubby and what some of your favorite things are about him.

See that picture?  Over there on the left?  That’s me.  I’m wearing a shirt that says “my husband rocks.”  Because he does rock.  And I am happy that I am married to him.  And I think it’s a great idea to tell everyone how I feel about him.  

One of my favorite things about Rich is the way he can always make me laugh.  No matter what is going on, his great sense of humor can always bring a smile to my face.  He is also an awesome dad.  I love to watch the way he is with both Brooke and Hailey.  And I love how much he loves them.  You know what else I love about Rich?  His awesome cooking.  And not only is his cooking amazing- but the fact that he is willing to cook dinner so that I don’t have to, tells me how much he cares about me. 

Those are just a few of the things about Rich that makes him rock.  So, now it’s your turn.  What are some things about your hubby that rock?

The other morning Rich changed Hailey’s diaper and got her dressed.  Without being asked. 

I was listening from the kitchen.  First I heard him tell Hailey the weather would be nice so she could wear shorts.  Then I heard him asking, “Do you want to wear this shirt?”  And I heard Hailey say, “No.”  That same question and answer were repeated several times.  Finally Hailey agreed to a shirt.

On their way back out to the kitchen I heard Rich say, “I’m not sure if this outfit matches.  How do you even know if it matches?”

And when Hailey came around the corner this is what I saw her wearing.

We didn’t have anywhere to go, so I left the outfit on her.  I did have to at least brush her hair though.

As long as Rich will change diapers and get Hailey dressed without being asked I don’t mind what he puts on her.  Unless I have to take her out in public that is.

I have a pimple on my forehead.  And it is a big one.

So, today Rich looks at me and says, “Man, that thing is huge.”  I wasn’t exactly sure how to respond to that, so I didn’t say anything.  I guess because of my silence Rich thought he should say some more.  “I was looking at it earlier and I was thinking ‘wow, that pimple is big.’”

At that point he must have realized what he had said because then he added, “Well, that’s not really what I mean.”

Oh?  What is it that you mean?
