Hubby and I just spent 2 hours in bed.
Not sleeping!
Not sleeping!
That's 7 years in "people with no kids" time.
Suddenly my husband's biting sarcasm turns into witty humor.
And wow! He's still totally hot!
I've never had to change a light bulb.

I should be nicer to him.
I serve him coffee in bed with a baguette, cream cheese and sliced apple.
We pretend we're in France and have just spent 50 bucks for this room service breakfast.
I look coquettishly at him and say something insulting.
For the next few hours he speaks with a really bad French accent.
Our kid was off playing with our French Au Pair (Dora the Explorer).
Judge me or not. Everyone is smiling and we just don't care.
I didn't do the stairs today.
Who cares?
(That's totally French)
I didn't make the fries from scratch.
They are frozen sweet potato fries from Trader Joe's.
We had some veggies with that and a little bit of baguette.
