do you miss the butterflies?

[Sam_2.0]

Seeing how much DD adores her daddy, and how much he loves her just makes me all melty. And she is 100% his child. Other than being crabby in the mornings (me) she got all of her attitude and mannerisms from him. We were out to dinner the other night and she was standing up in her chair singing at the top of her lungs to the "peoples". DH looked at me and said he was embarassed, because everyone knows that she doesn't get it from me

[happyhoix]

I was thinking of the days last year when I was helping DS get his socks on, put DD's socks on and then I had to help DH put his socks on that first week after his back surgery. Now that is love.

I got that beat. Two years ago, the day before Christmas Eve when I had all of DH's family coming over for Christmas dinner, DH gets up, eats a fine breakfast of French toast, goes into the bathroom and suddenly has a pain in his head which caused extreme dizziness, which caused him to vomit ALL OVER the bathroom. I DO NOT KNOW why he couldn't contain it to the toilet.

Turns out, he had an ear infection and didn't know it, and suddenly something shifted in his head and completely screwed with his sense of balance.

Just why the hell couldn't it have happened BEFORE the big French toast breakfast?

What made it worse was I rushed him off to the hospital (I thought he had a stroke or something serious) and didn't get a chance to clean everything up for about ten hours, at which point it had hardened into a kind of chunky paste. Even the cats fled from it.

And oh yes, he also vomited next to our bed and forgot to tell me, so I stepped in that. Barefoot.

Who knew a man could contain so much puke.

If DH ever had a thought I didn't love him through thick and thin, now he knows for sure I do.

And I know he's always going to be there for me, because he didn't run away when I was in labor, and, shall we say, a tad bit testy.

And not only that will do whatever you need with a straight face.  I told DH screw those Eharmony commericals with hot couples giggling over sushi.  They should have a commerical with wife bent over the sink as her husband pours RIT in her hair b/c her kid gave her lice.

Now THAT's love.  If you got a man who will do that for you and not run screaming he's a keeper.

Good thing DH is bald b/c I am not sure I love him that much.    

You won't get a person in the "butterfly" stage to do that kind of stuff for you.  Odds are I guy I am dating would run for the hills if I announced I had lice and handed him a bottle of lice shampoo.

DH and I had been dating less than a month when he showed up at my door and handed me a list of 'post surgicial care' instructions for the removal of a cyst/tumor thing that was the size of a ping pong ball. I just let him in and started reading the instructions (turns out he shouldn't have driven to my house for starters...)

Err... not for nothing sarcastic, but I used to wear corsets out to clubs and stuff. I think there might be one in the tub you're coming to look at...

(Also, these were never used for hanky-panky times, they were actual out-of-the-house wear.)

ETA: They were out of the house wear *for me*... I was perhaps a bit... errr... adventurous? provocative? skanky? when I was younger....

After 30 yrs with DH, I could still get "the butterflies"... a certain touch, or gesture - everyone's different, but being "comfortable" in a relationship, doesn't mean the butterflies disappear. Some days they're there, others not.

You find new ways to make them happen.

I knew I liked you.

I do miss the butterflies...
We've been together nearly 7 years, so we are hitting that point where being together is getting really... irritating.
After a few months of psychological warfare with each other, we are back to feeling in love  

Ironically, expanding our interests outside of each other is bringing us closer. If I rely on DW to "make" me happy, I will be disappointed. We are here to share our lives together, to make our life journey more fun, more fulfilling, less difficult, less lonely, but she can't "make" me happy. Once I realized that I stopped getting so pissed off at her over the stupid stuff, and I feel more loving and mushy for having her in my life.

"Nooners" are fun too...puts some variety into the sex life. And gives you something waaaaay more exciting to text about than how work is going :-O

This is when having kids stink. The time when we are both most in the moods is midmorning on a Saturday. But that doesn't work with a 1 year old and a 4 year old.

That's when Aly gets to watch a special movie. Angelina Ballerina buys us at least 20 minutes

Yep...DH has had to clean up puke a couple times. I react badly to general anesthesia. He got to rinse the bucket out all night until my stomach finally settled and the meds were out of my system. Then there was the food poisoning incident. After a while, I couldn't even get my head into the toilet.
