What has the man (men) in your life done - that has made you happy lately

My dad told me last night that he is going to be here for Hanna's b'day, he is leaving Saturday night at 8:00 pm when his girlfriend gets off work to drive 5 hours down here, to go to her b'day party on Sunday and then leave afterwards! That almost made me cry, the 10 hour drive (there and back) just to see her for one day. He is bringing his girlfriend's grandbaby, his name is Drew, Hanna calls him Woo-woo and she loves him to death. Whenever she talks to papaw onthe phone she asks for Woo-Woo 
DH went out of town to Owensboro, Ky on Monday evening, he had to work third shift down there Monday night and last night, the plan was for him to get off of work last night and go back to the hotel and sleep so he wouldn't have to drive home at night and he would get rest. At about 4:00 this morning, I heard footsteps in my house, scared the freaking bejeezes out of me, but in walked DH and he climbed into bed and said I had to come home I couldn't spend one more night without you, I wanted to hold you! He rubbed me and kissed me and told me he missed me and he loved me. Geez he was only gone for one night, I wonder what I would get if he was gone for two or three  
Before DH Left town on Monday he left a note for me for when I got home. Well on Monday I had errands to run right after work for their b'day party, so I just picked Hanna up and didn't even walk in the house, when he called me later that night he goes did you even go home and I said no, he sounded dissapointed, I was wondering why it was such a big deal, when I walked in he had left me this note in black marker written really huge on this piece of paper It said LeaAnn I love you so much! I'll miss you! Love Brian! Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!
I was really tired Monday from running errands all night and I remembered that I forgot to get Hanna some milk at the store, so I called Brian's AUnt's house (lives next door to us) and asked his cousin if they had any milk to last her through the night, he said they were out, then I heard a knock on the door about 1-2 minutes later and he said he was going to ride to the store and get Hanna some milk for me! That was so nice of him. I hated to get her back in the car, run to the store, get her out carry her around along with 2 gallons of milk (what I usually buy) and then have to lug all that in the house! I was being lazy 
OK so those are my men stories! Let's hear 'em ladies!

toady_buckshot_noodle replied: I AM SO JEALOUS OF YOU GUYS!!! MY HUBBY DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO ACT THAT WAY. REALLY, HIS PARENTS WERE DIVORCED BEFORE HE WAS BORN SO HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO TREAT A WIFE.
TANNER'S MOM replied: Well, lets see!
When we were at the graveside service.. after everything was done and the family was chatting.. he walked up to me and put his arm around me..and leaned over and said you feel tiny in my arms..lol Now it was a lie but a good one..lol
On Monday morning.. I was running late..and I was stressed and he agreed to stop and drop off a bill that I shouldve taken on the weekend..with out one word.
He told me thanks for taking care of the horses alone all week.
Boys r us replied: Hmmm...this is a good idea!
Well, he agreed to get the dog for the kids, even though he choked when I told him how much it was!
He came home yesterday and massaged my shoulders without me asking him too when he saw that I had a headache.
He is already christmas shopping for me. I came home from the grocery store saturday and he and Tanner had just finished looking at a ups package that had just arrived for ME FOR CHRISTMAS!! That made me excited and HAPPY!
I'm sure that there is more..but I can't think of it, probably b/c I'm an ungrateful whiney butt most of the time!
coasterqueen replied: What more can I say except Dh is just being him. I couldn't ask him to be anything more. The good thing about DH being away is I don't have to nag at him for his drinking and smoking. I'd LOVE for him to come home and not do either, but I know that's a pipe dream, but it's nice not having to nag about it for a bit. He's just been so great all the way around there's really not much more I can say about him except I love him so much and I know how much he loves me.
My dad, well he's just great. Who would have ever thought that out of that stubborn hard-headed man who just couldn't deal with my teenage ways back when.  He's been helping me w/the girls. He helped me take my van to the dealership to be looked at over the weekend and took us back home. Hopefully he will take me back when I need to pick it up. He also wants to take us to the circus this weekend, hope we can get tickets.
My uncle is AWESOME at mowing my yard. Course he IS getting paid really good money by DH's employer to do so, but hey *I* don't even mow our yard that nicely. 
My FIL, well even though he's a pill, he IS going to Chicago in December for 3 days for me to watch the girls while I put on a conference so I can't complain about him right now.
booey2 replied: Well my father-in-law loves me like a real daughter , not much to add to him. My dad left when I was 9  and passed away about 4years ago now  . As for DH well I really can't post it here will have to post it in the P&I forum later. 
A&A'smommy replied: Great post LeaAnn!! 
Jeremiah has actually been pretty wonderful during my play and dance stuff he takes me where i need to go and he keeps ALyssa in the evenings so I can do something fun for myself AND when he keeps Alyssa he also make sure she gets her bath and is fed!!!
He bought me a REALLY expensive gift for my birthday and in that way is also supporting me in my quest to loose weight!
mom2tripp replied: Sal is pretty much always good to me, that's just the way he's always been I'm very lucky Right now after his 24 hour shift at the fire department he goes to our new house and works all day and then on his only day off before going back to the fire department he works a part time job so that I can stay home with Tripp--ain't he sweet
Good post topic, thanks!
amymom replied: Good topic idea. I have tears in my eyes.  such sweet hubbies.
Anyway, my husband, has listened to me fret about drs. test results. He has hugged me when I needed hugs. He studied Social with our DD last night even though he HATES helping with HW. He called the two car loans to say they would be late, since he made no money last week and we used all our savings for the car repairs. He hates taking care of money issues too. He is out working in the rain right now.
He knows I get frustrated by his mom and he knows I love her anyway.
KingMom replied: I have to give my husband lots of credit! Although i am not anti-domestic, he is very domestic in a different sense. He thinks the house must always be clean, he sweeps every day atleast once, mops every other week, cleans the bathrooms, washes clothes (but never folds or puts them away, just leaves them in a ball though I rarely complain since he is helping), loads/unloads this dishwaswer, and takes care of our son on his 4 days off (works 4, then off 4). He is the best!!! He is so good with Colin and loves us both so much. We disagree often about cleaning since he can clean the bathrooms in 1 hour and if I do it, I am much more picky and it would take me like 3 hours, oh well. As stated before, I rarely complain, since he does so much, it leaves more time for me to play with my son 
Just thought I'd share how much I love him, he's the best.
mom2tripp replied:
You too have it made there Whitney, I have seen her man in action and would love to hire him every week  He's very sweet to her and Colin
mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: Rich sent me an email last week telling me how thankful he is for all the hard work I do around the house and how well I keep our family together. Just out of nowhere. And the other night, I wasn't feeling so good, so he made me dinner in bed, took my contacts out for me and even brushed my teeth...all while in bed! I didn't want to get up!
TeagansMom609 replied: Shawn cooks dinner everynite, does the dishes everyday, makes the bed, and cleans the house up. As you can see im not so domestic.
C&K*s Mommie replied: My chubby-hubby Chris is GREAT in many ways. But the most appreciated one is he works very hard, (doing what he loves) just so that the girls and I can be here at the house. He also is supportive in my return back to school, and has put off schooling for him until I graduate in (2) years.
