I woke up the other day with a pounding headache.
Not exactly the best way to start the day.
I have a long history of neck issues and I'm a whiner.
So, I was pretty much a barrel of sunshine by 7:30 a.m.
I took a hot bath, got dressed and fixed breakfast for the kids (hey, unwrapping granola bars counts. Don't judge me).
My hubby left for work and I took Ibuprofen.
I'm telling ya'll, I was feeling blah. And not just because of the headache. It was a Monday.
But as you know, the show must go on. So, I filled up the kiddie pool outside and sent the kids upstairs to change out of their pajamas. I put on my clown suit and readied for Act I.
The phone rang. It was my hubby. He'd been gone about 15 minutes.
"Hey, there was a package on the bench on the front porch when I left. Are you expecting something?"
"No, Really?"
"Yeah, it has your name on it. Gotta go."
I walked to the front door and can I just say if I ever doubted that man's love for me, I never will again?
Yeah. He gets me.
He knew a large Chick-Fil-A sweet tea would help. Call me silly. But his simple gift spoke volumes to me. Knowing he was rushing to get to work, and taking the time to bring me my favorite mood food, meant the world to me.
I love that man.
And you know what? My head didn't hurt nearly as bad .

Nothing beats a Chick-Fil-A sweet tea. Having it delivered by your husband is just the icing on the cake! Take care, Julie
I love your blog!
That is the sweetest, most romantic thing I've seen in a long time.
That is so sweet of him! My hubby brought me a vanilla milkshake the other day from McDs...to cheer me up!
Blessings,
Tina
Oh my gosh-
I LOVE HIM TOO.
what a man.
COuld he like give a seminar or something that I could send MY husband to? I will pay and everything. Nothing fancy. Like a bar-b-que in your yard or something. Just where your husband sorta lectures mine for a while? Thanks that would be great.
That is seriously so sweet. (pun intended)
It's moments like those, when great clarity of love shows up, that really makes me smile.
That just plain ol rocks! He deserves a big hug and kiss.
Ahhh! I love this story. I so get you. My headache would be lessened by thoughtful somethings too. :)
That is so stinkin' sweet!
Ummm, WOW! My husband would ask me to go get HIM one, even with my headache! Something about his mom doing EVERYTHING for him until he was 25 years old. Anyway, yay for your hubby! He's a keeper!
Awww!!! How sweet is that?!!?
Sweet Tea ~ Sweet Love ~ Sweet Husband!
Hope you feel better.
I LOVE this! What a great guy... What a great story. Hope you're feeling better after that sweet tea.
That was so thoughtful and sweet! I'm sure it helped you with your day so much. It's amazing how those little gestures can help so much.
Dr. Laura always says that a man with a good wife will swim through shark-infested waters to bring her lemonade...obviously you're doing something right!
Aww..that was soo sweet. Its times like that that you fall inlove all over again...when they actually THINK of those things on their own. My hubby will occasionally bring me a coke or pepsi when he knows I NEED one.
Have a GREAT day...I'm going to try!
Seriously, that's one of the sweetest, most romantic things I've heard in a long time.
He's a keeper, that one!
What a sweet man you have!! File it away for when it is needed.
Very, very sweet! (Umm... speakin' of your hubby, not the tea!)
On a serious note from a migrain sufferer... caffeine will help with a bad headache.
See one more good excuse (I mean "reason") to down the sweet tea!!!
Aww that is so sweet! He's a keeper, for sure!!
Well written and well provided for aren't you?!
What a sweetie... he def knows how to speak your language. I've got a keeper too and when they do things like that doesn't it just rock your world? Enjoy your man and your tea!
that is the sweetest thing I have heard in a long time!!
Sounds like a wonderful hubby....What a great guy! :) Hope you're feeling better! :)
Janis
Bless his heart.
xox
Awww. Brad will get me little surprises like that but he always expects complete and utter recognition and gratitude for DAYS.
OH MAN!!!
Ok. I am sooooooo going to show my husband this post.
When he wakes up.
And is rushing off to work.
LOL.
Mine sucks in the 'doing little things because I love you' department.
He's lucky I fall into his icy blue eyes every time I look at them. ;)
That is the greatest! Not only did he bring you sweet tea from a place that knows how to make tea, but his delivery is waaay sweet.
What a gift he is. Yea!
That was so stinkin sweet!!! Better hang on to him!!
How awesome of your husband to do that for you. You are one blessed woman.
Wow, that was so sweet of him. what a great guy!
That is so sweet, very sweet and not just the tea. Badum pum ...
I WILL remind you of his thoughtfulness if you need it later in the year or even next week. :)
Aww that is so sweet and thoughtful
How great is that!!!!
Great story!!! I love to hear thoughtful hubby stories!!I love it when my hubby shows up with a surprise cup of Starbucks.....
That was so sweet of him! Now how do I get my hubby to realize that is romantic??
What a man! Not only does he get you, he thinks of you. That speaks volumes.
What a wonderful gesture- you are blessed with a great husband! :)
Aww...so jealous right now! What a sweetie.
Because your heart healed it. What a sweet man.
ps. Can I just tell ya- I love those summer shots on the bottom of your page!
That's awesome. Real love is when hubbies bring you sweet tea - or in my case, a gyro & chocolate malt. *swoon*
before my hubby got different hours he worked at night, got home at 7am just as I started my home daycare routine....EVERY morning he brought me m coveted 7-11 coffee that is 90% coffee and 10% vanilla cappicuino. The moms bringing their kiddos would catch it and think he was the neatest man ever...He is! Its the small things...right?
That was so sweet! He's surely a keeper! :-)
Oh how sweet, you should clone him and sell the others, you would make a fortune. He sounds like a great guy, heck, doesn't sound like it, he proves it. But you might want to keep that your little secret so he doesn't get the "big head" huh? Hugs for you and HIM.
Diamonds? Pearls? Nah, just a few simple things are what really send me over the edge - in a good way. And my man knows what they all are. Sonic tea, Starbucks iced latte . . . just the little stuff that means he knows me so well. Any joker could buy a gigantic diamond and impress anyone. It's the little things that tell me I'm completely known (and loved) that mean the world.
I like your husband, btw!
Awwww! What a sweetheart.
I'm so jealous! That is one the sweetest, and most romantic things I've heard in a long time! Something that simple, meaning so much.
I wish my husband would "get" things like that!
AWWWWWWW. That is so my language.
Unwrapping granola bars doesn't count as making breakfast??? Or was that hot fudge poptarts... I can never remember!
Could you please have your husband call MY husband.
You know...he could probably go into business like Will Smith did in "Hitch" and give hubbies some pointers.
This is absolutely the sweetest thing I've read in awhile I adore simple, thoughtful, love gifts like that. You lucky woman!
I am a terrible husband.
...after reading your blog, perhaps I'll learn one day.
~Luke
Oh, THAT is the sweetest thing ever! If you ever decide you're tired of him, we can use him over here. My hubs might take offense, but he'll get used to it.
Awesome. Awesome. Awesome!!!!! I love sweet gestures, they mean more to me than fancy gifts. It's the time and effort that make it so beautiful. You are very lucky.
What a great husband. Can you get him to write a book and I'll buy it for my husband.
now that is Love with a capital L.
He's a keeper!!! That is just the best. The weekend I realized my hubby was going through some stuff & I needed to be more supportive, (I'm not use to having to be that role, so it took a while to hit me over the head) anyway, so I bought him the male equivalent to a dozen roses - a 12 pack of beer.
How sweet was that!!! Yep, you have a good one there. :)
What a sweet-tea!! I had to. I am that big of a dork! My husband did something similar for me yesterday, dropping by CVS on the way home to grab me some eye drops because my eyes were itching like mad. It was sweet and romantic in its own way.
That is sweet tea! (I know, bad pun...but hey!)
Well, I don't like tea much (although I was able to drink it at Chinese tea ceremonies last year), but I loved the story so much I added a link to it on my blog. Hope your headache is history.
That is so sweet!!!! Yup. It's the little things that make life great.
Oh man, that is better than dozens of roses. I love when they "get it."
That is so sweet and romantic. If Honey did that for me I would so be putty in his hands that night.
Shhh, that'll be our little secret. OK?
That is so sweet! I love me some sweet tea too! You have a good man!
That is awesome!
Although I am an embarrasment to Southerners everywhere in my preference for unsweet tea. I get it from my mom who was raised in CA.
Awww...sweet love. Even better, with a practical gift! :)
Amazing how something so simple can change you from feeling like an overworked Cinderella to a princess. What a sweet story!
Awww...how sweet of him!
God bless great husbands. I have one too, and I'm very thankful.
That is seriously very sweet!!! I doubt my hubby would ever do anything like that. Lucky girl, you!!!
What a great guy. Pretty great gal he's married to too! =)
How totally sweet!
How very very sweet. My dear husband made apple crisp a few nights ago when I was a little too audible with my dessert cravings. :)
isn't that the BEST! My hubby surprises me every now and then too....it really makes me feel special.
Oh my goodness that is the sweetest thing ever... Gotta love special hubbies!
Man, I LOVe it when they do stuff like that!!
That's so sweet!
That man of yours is definitely a keeper!! :)
That's what I was going to say! "He's a keeper!"
If only all husbands knew how little it took to make their wives happy...
That was great!
Kudos to the hubs!
:)
That was super sweet!! Get it?!?
What a GUY! I think he has some major brownie points now... :)
That is precious. Those kinds of little gestures blow flowers and packaged chocolates out the window any day!
That is SO sweet!
that has to be one of the best packages ever!!
I just found your blog. As I was reading the account of your hubby I was thrilled to know that someone else out there has a great treasure also. Sure hope your head feels better.
So super beyond sweet! Love it!
That's pretty stinkin' romantic!
Awwwwww.....now that is SWEET!! How thoughtful that he took the time to do that for you. What a great guy!
I just popped over from Amy's blog (Living Locurto) and loved the story you shared of your hubby. On the rare occasions that my husband brings me home an extra-large Diet Coke from McDonalds...I'm putty in his hands! :)
Angie in OH
What a fantastic gesture. Says a lot about your husband. I found you through Amy's project today. Glad I did. You husband's gesture has made me smile. Love your heading, too!
Katie
Hopping over from Living Locurto.
What a sweet gesture! It's nice your husband is so thoughtful, and the way he called you--so sweet.
However, at my house, first of all, I would have probably snapped at him for not bringing the package inside before he left. I mean, come on! You saw my name on it, but you couldn't bring the dang thing inside?
And then even after seeing his sweetness, my husband would get his a$$ kicked if there was just a cup of sweet tea and no Chik-fil-A Sandwich sitting beside it!
The nearest one is 45 minutes away and I make excuses to drive nearby so I can get me some chicken sandwich lovin. Mmmmmm....
He once purposefully used our check card at Chik-fil-A on a business trip just so he could rub it in my face when I saw it online. Stinkin' bastige!!
I love him more than anything anyway...
It's the little things in life that mean the most.
Chick-fil-a sweet tea is the best!!
What a grat reminder that sometimes it's the little things that communicate the most love!
That is the sweetest thing =)
I just found ur blog, it is great!
excited to read more...
Lily
