Don't you love that movie? I catch myself laughing every time we watch it. I mean seriously... How did they know this is exactly what I look like when I clean house?? Uncanny!
Yesterday, I couldn't help it; I caught myself choking up a bit too. Blame it on those darn hormones coursing through my blood stream, but I couldn't help but think about my own "Prince Charming" during this song:
How do I know Joe loves me???
He may not sport puffy sleeves and thigh-high boots or carry a sword. He's not too keen on balls and dancing. You won't ever catch him singing in public (or in private for that matter). I doubt he'd even be willing to stand on a moving bus if we got separated in a crowd.
It's really the little things...
Like how every morning when I go to open our front door, it's locked because he made sure it was on his way out to work at 4 am.
Like how he never complains (out loud at least) about the piles of dirty laundry or dishes.
Like how I start telling him how worthless I feel and he just makes jokes trying to change the subject and knock me out of my little pity-party.
Like how he'll change a stinky diaper instead of waiting for me to do it.
Like how he sends me a text every. single. night. letting me know he's just gotten off work and will be home shortly.
Like how I tell him I need a date night and he never argues about it being a waste of money AND then how he ALWAYS lets me pick the movie AND the restaurant. Every time.
Aren't happily-ever-afters grand sometimes?
So, how do YOU know???
Love this movie so much.
ReplyDeleteWe were watching a movie last night when a husband was attempting to go back to save his wife. His friend who was not attempting to save his wife said, "there is no chance-- don't go back." He said, "I don't have to tell you why I'm going back to save my wife and you don't have to tell me why you are not." I loved it because I KNOW my hubby would be the one who came back to save me. It's nice to know!
great post!
I SOOOO love that movie! And so do my kids! We have to watch that song like 50 times every time we watch it! You have yourself a Prince there, that's for sure! :)
ReplyDeleteDon't you wish you could just sing, "ah, ah, ah..." and animals would come and clean your house? Love it! I know.... when I've been on the computer too long & he doesn't say anything about it.
ReplyDeleteThis post is so sweet! And you are a lucky girl to get to pick the movie AND the restaurant!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post! I have that song running through my head now. Mine does the text thing every single day too. Just that little reassurance. Plus I can't ever really sleep when he isn't here. It is those little things for sure! My hubby is now working every night, our girls are more then a little bummed about this. He told me today to have them take a nap so that they could stay up late to see him when he gets home. He knows that this will make them happier all day & in turn make me a happier mommy.
ReplyDeleteI was reluctant to watch that movie for the longest time, because I thought it looked obnoxious. I did watch it though, and it is one of my faves!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree that it's the little things that mean the most. Roon always gets my nightly meds for me, along with a glass of ice water. I totally take it for granted until he's out of town, and I have to do it myself.
