Want to say 'I love you?' Leave.

Make it a Quietccino

Here's a thought:

Lady Rad takes care of a 5 month old and a 2.5 year old every day, day in and day out.  She doesn't stop caretaking, doing laundry, making meals, cleaning, etc. until about 8:30p.m. most nights, even when I pitch in to help.  She is up at 5:30a.m. at the latest each morning so she can get 30 minutes of quiet time and exercise before she's on the clock for the next 14.5 hours.

So why would any compassionate husband of a woman who works this hard think that breakfast-in-bed, prepared by himself and the two kids would be what she REALLY wants for Valentine's Day?


Instead of making a huge mess in the kitchen on Valentine's Day, inevitably requiring your wife to clean up after you and the kids REGARDLESS of how well you think you are cleaning and putting everything away in its spot, why not take the kids out to breakfast yourself and let your wife sleep in and wake up to a completely clean and quiet home? Leave a note that says you'll be back by a certain time with coffee and bagels (or her favorite on-the-go breakfast food) and that she should reward her hard work with a long, uninterrupted shower that doesn't involve toddlers stomping down the hall as she's trying to relax. 

It'll sure beat whatever your French Toast tastes like!
