Thursday Thoughts on Friday

I accidentally called 911 this week. I was trying to call a parent at school and looked down to see that I had actually dialed 911 instead of 919.

I quickly hung up and they quickly called me right back.

The guy said, "This is 911. We just received a call from this number. What's your emergency?" "Umm...sorry I accidentally dialed the wrong number. Sorry!"

Oops...I don't think Verizon realized the wrong number calls they would cause for 911 when they made us dial an area code before every call...

Before the winter rains set in this week, this was the view from our apartment balcony

 

Stephen has been out of town this week. While I have missed him a lot and am SO excited to see him really soon...it has been nice to have the apartment to myself the past few days. 

Ever need some "you" time? 

Yea, me too. 

The first day he was gone, I came home from school and cleaned up the entire apartment. 

My husband is not a slob but he isn't a neat freak either. (I am)

My OCD self got to shine these past three days. I went to bed every night with the pillows perfectly arranged on the couch AND woke up with them STILL perfectly arranged. 

Who knew that could happen? 

The bed got made perfectly everyday...okay not the first day because I overslept, but that's another story for another day. 

All of the laundry got done, folded AND put away. 

The kitchen wasn't left with a single dish in the sink at night.  

There were no chores to do today when I got home...I almost didn't know what to do with myself...almost... :) (Starbucks and a good book, anyone?)

My OCD brain tries really really hard to understand my husband's non OCD brain...we have conversations about it often...it just hasn't happened. I don't know that it ever will. 

However, tonight I will welcome his 5 pairs of shoes by the door, his duffle bag that will sit on the floor unpacked until I move it to the closet where it will stay until next weekend when he repacks it, and his books and dishes all over the living room because I love him. 

I love him a lot. 

And, I'll take all of that because I wouldn't trade him for a spic and span clean apartment any day! :)

Thanksgiving is next week, yall. How is that possible? Seriously...didn't the pool just close for the summer??
