I was invited to see a movie on Saturday, WHILE I WAS CLEANING THE HOUSE... and that meant that movie time would kick the cleaning off to another day. . and I had a dilemma! I could
(a) Go to the movie with dear friend, Suzanne
(b) Say no, and continue to vacumn and clean our tiolet.
Knowing that my husband would prefer choice (b) since our house was near to roanoke market building condition!( JUST KIDDING..... ) I knew he would want me to clean. So I run out to the yard skipping... he is on the mower... and he turns it off and I say: 'Honey, Honey,.... suzanne has invited me to see a movie!!" I was wide eyed with a big smile... he says: "What time??" and I say: "3:00" "What time is it?" he says? I say "Uh... 1:30" knowing that he is probably going to say: "FORGET IT, NO WAY... THE HOUSE IS GROSS!" ...... he says: "Go ahead..." and then I was in another predicament........
Dennis is a very tidy person, and he was already being very gracious not getting upset that it hadnt been thoroughly cleaned in awhile... so when he was giving me the go ahead to go see a movie, and not clean... I had to decide what I was going to do!
I decided not to go, because he deserved a nice clean home, and I knew Id be happy to give him that.
Turns out, sometimes we just need to know we can, so we can choose not to.... bizzarre creatures we are!!!

Hi Shannon,
I just came accross your comment as I was cleaning my e-mail and realized I hadn't responded back or came over to visit (how rude...I know). We have so bombarded with building our house that I haven't had a lot of time to browse the blogs. But here I am. (C: I love your design. those colors are such awesome combo's, I wish my girls liked pink more.
What a great thought you shared...sometimes we just need to know we can, so we can choose not to! well said.
I have a few more minutes so I'm going to browse some more.
Be blessed,
Kirstin
