It has been a while since this site has had a new post. It just seems that the time can get away from a person. This summer has been a great one for me so far. I recently sold my business and have been searching for that next opportunity. I have had time to connect with old contacts and spend some great time with my daughter and wife. I will look back at the Summer of 2010 with fond memories.
One thing I have discovered . . . in the few days that I have had the opportunity to “stay home with my daughter,” it has become quite clear to me that “stay at home moms” have a quite a task on their hands. I applaud all of the parents who have made that decision. I do not frown on those who have chosen another path, but I now know why my wife can be so exhausted at the end of the day. Thanks for the life lesson.

Okay, I must admit . . . it is not okay to keep secrets from mommy. But this weekend was Mother’s Day. As the day approached, my wife made sure to let me know not to buy her any gift. We got through this each year and I say the same thing at Father’s Day. Even so, our daughter told my wife on Friday that she wanted to get flowers for Mother’s Day, but that it would be a secret.
When I got home from work on Friday, Audrey met me at the door to tell me that we were going to get flowers for mommy. I agreed, but told her that we needed to keep it a “secret”. She smiled the biggest smile I had ever seen. She was soooo happy that we had a secret from mommy. As a matter of fact, I would bring it up several times Friday evening and up until we purchased the flowers on Saturday—each time, even if it was in the presence of mommy, Audrey would get the biggest smile on her face and put her finger over her mouth to indicate our secret.
Each time she smiled, it warmed my heart. I am glad that we chose to keep a secret from mommy!!
(P.S. Jeana did get new patio furniture for Mother’s Day, too!!)
