More Than Mommy » Yay, Big Guy

More than Mommy is the exploration of the many sides of being a woman and mother. In my case, this includes family, business, home, humor, hobbies, and occasionally politics. If you're looking for a reminder that you still have a name of your own, you've found the right place! Please post a comment, make yourself comfortable, and maybe learn something new. Parenting is fun, but quite a bumpy ride!

Yay, Big Guy

Just had to brag for a moment… I took Little Guy to visit my parents in Maine a week or two ago and when I came home, Big Guy had cleaned the house. Seriously cleaned. Vacuumed and mopped and picked up all of my piles of clutter. Isn’t that wonderful? I knew I married him for a reason!

LOL, what dept. did u find him in, I need one of those lol. Seriously, it is so nice to come home to a nice clean house. Unfortunetely for me to do so would mean that I have to clean it first before I leave.
