Have you seen those "Hey Girl" memes (posters) online with a picture of things you'd want your husband to say to you when he comes home. (seen with pictures of Ryan Gosling, actor)
"I understand that you didn't have time to do school today because you were too busy "pinning" ideas onto your Pinterest homeschooling board."
"I love it when you laminate stuff."
"The fact that you went to that book sale and spent $80 on curriculum you never used doesn't stress me out at all."
"I loved how you managed to tie in our morning devotional with algebra."
"Let's grab a latte, a quiet spot, and review curriculum options."
"One of the sticky notes fell off the family schedule, so I have no idea what to do at 6:30 tonight."
"Don't worry. I know which scissors you use for fabric… and which scissors you use for paper."
"I could just sit here and watch you reorganize the schoolroom all night."
"I love that one of your passions is collecting math manipulatives."
"You're right, chalkboard paint would be perfect on that."
"Have I told you how hot it is to watch you parallel park our 15-passenger van?"
"Public school starts this week? Eh, give yourself at least a month more of summer."
"That new planner you ordered must be pretty awesome. I don't mind at all that you've talked about it nonstop for the last four weeks. - Does it teach the kids, too?"
"I don't care that I haven't had clean underwear in two weeks. You've been schooling up a storm!"
"I'm totally cool using one of my 10 vacation days to come to co-op and watch my son play the theme from 'Star Wars.'"
"No. I don't mind that the kitchen table is covered in owl pellets."
"I know you didn't join that co-op just for the 5 hour long planning meetings at Panera. It's just one of the many sacrifices you make for our children's education."
"Hey Girl. How about I take off my shirt while we make those workboxes."
