You're a good man, Charlie Brown

It's 9 pm.

The baby has gone to bed after a fun day.

The dishes and laundry are done and put away.

Cookies are ready and waiting to be eaten.

Jeans and tennis shoes have been replaced by stretchy pants and slippers.

The DVD rented earlier is starting up. Lights are turned down.

But wait...we are out of vanilla bean ice cream.

And I NEED vanilla ice cream. I'll probably need some tomorrow night too. And tomorrows Sunday, so I really, truly need to get some vanilla ice cream.

the DVD is stopped. Lights on.

Cozy clothes exchanged for cold coats and pants.

"Oh, can you get milk? And a cucumber! For salad tomorrow", I call from beneath the warmth of a blanket, lounging on the couch.

He sure is a keeper.
