Well, the best laid plans of mice and men… Things did not go as planned but the plan worked out fine. What do I mean? Things change. Circumstances come up. You have to be flexible and think on your feet. Things went wrong and I dealt with them to make a perfect evening for my wife.
First, I was unable to get off work as early as I wanted. So I called my 16-year-old and asked him to set the table and clean up the kitchen.
I picked up 3 bunches of flowers and some wine. I stopped by the restaurant and picked up the food, went to the drugstore to get bubble soap (I realized we were out).
I had 45 minutes to clean up the bedroom, bathroom and tub. This was a BIG rush – but I was on a mission. 
I cut the flowers and hid them in the closet with a glass and the bubble soap.
Dawn got home early – so the bath was not going to happen first because I could not get it all ready – no problem – while she got into more comfortable clothes my teenage son and I fixed the food up and heated it and put it on the table. 
After dinner, I set up the bubble bath while she fed the baby. She got to relax in the tub while my teenager did the dishes and my 4-year-old and I cleaned the kitchen and front living room. 
About 10 minutes into her bath, I brought her this dessert and a coffee to have in the tub. She loved it!
Earlier in the day, Dawn pulled something in her back and she was in pain – so a romantic sensual touch massage was not in the picture anymore. It was going to be a deep tissue massage with oil and the works.
We got to bed WAY later than I wanted. I set up the bed for her massage while she fed the baby and put him down for the night (which was now going to be a deep tissue massage with oil). 
She got a 20 minute massage with a soft touch at the end and then we went to sleep. I handled feeding the baby that night and ended up not being able to sleep. So today I am dead tired – but I am "manning up" and handling it… happy in the knowledge that she is super appreciative, less stressed, less tired and her "emotional libido" batteries are charged even more.
