Dear Husband Jon,
As you are off to another meeting filled with great content and debate, I am making muffins...and look what just happened! 
You woke up early in order to get in a nice workout, to get a bit of time in for yourself. Because you don't want to miss out on any of the children's activities later in the day. You are a good dad. You did shut the mudroom door though, creating a mess for me this morning. BUT I may be able to forgive you. I asked you to bring home a little bag of tortilla chips for last night's "taco night". Here are the chips. All 6 pounds of them. :)
Now THAT is a husband!
This morning when you woke at 4:30 and were out the door to go swim, our darling cat George meowed throughout the house. He missed you so. He got so worked up that he decided to throw up in three different rooms. 
As you were having a relaxing drive to work, I went to clean up George's throw up. Sacco (the dog) beat me to it though. Thanks, girl.
As you swam laps, listening to your waterproof ipod, I realized that you shut the mudroom door. Where the kitty litter is. I cleaned up pee near the back door and poor Emily's bean bag was a victim of George's pee and poop! 
As you drank your post-workout latte from Starbucks, I noticed a funky smell in the girls' bathroom. I flushed the toilet without looking. Up IT all came. Millimeters away from the rim. As you ate your scone, I plunged, and plunged. (If anyone needs plumbing work, I'm an expert now.)
As you sat at your office desk in your pressed shirt and pants "designing engines" ~wink~, I made a stop at the vet's office...to get some state of the art cleaner and deodorizer. The bucket came out, the rubber gloves were on. Our house sparkles and smells so fresh! The washing machine (containing a lot of bleach) is going. (Oh I love the smell of bleach! If they made a bleach scented candle, I would buy it. I might be the only buyer though.)
Despite this morning's craziness, we had an awesome uplifting sight! I screamed in delight when I noticed that the Robins FINALLY arrived and were digging around in the woods! The children busted out the moves and did "The Robin Dance"! Yippee!

Seriously! I know exactly how you feel. Sometimes the smallest things have the BIGGEST consequences. I try to take deep breaths and remind myself that he didn't mean to do it... ;)
