A Not So Well Thought Out Plan

This Valentines Day I thought I'd do something out of the ordinary for me. With the idea from a friend (Thanks, Katie) I thought I'd try something to get Steve a bit embarrased (not an easy thing to do). I had it all planned out. I'd make the sign after he went to bed then in the morning while he was in the shower I'd go out and stick this sign on the back of his Blazer where he could not see it. All went well and he went off to work. All morning I was waiting for that phone call but it never came. I went off to my MOPS meeting and told a few what I did so we waited to her my cell phone ring, it never did. After MOPS my plan was to stop by his work before heading home to get lunch ready. So we did. He wanted to play it off, but we both couldn't keep a straight face. So here was the sign:

He proceeded to tell me that no one honked (who would at 6:30 in the morning in a small town). And only one car sped up behind him probably to see what was written and then backed off. We had a good laugh, but I was a little disappointed he didn't get the full effect of the "well-planned scheme".

I left and he came home for lunch and then he left again. I didn't even think twice about revenge. As I went to pick up the kids from school we inched our way through the turn about and I saw the kids with their bagful of valentines. Andrew opens the door and says "Mom what's that sign on the back of the suburban?" The emabarassement I wanted Steve to have turned on me and now I was the one throughly emabarassed. As we inched our way out of the turnabout I realized my plan was not-so-well thought out and totally backfired on me. It was a fun day, a bit unusual for us, but fun. I love you, Honey!!
