11 Reasons Your Wife Deserves A Trip To Target {ALONE}

I know.

It’s been a really long day at the office and all you really want to do tonight is go home, change your clothes into something comfy, put your feet up and eat a delicious meal your wife has prepared, put the kids down for bed and binge watch your favorite show on Netflix until you fall asleep…am I right?!

Listen – we know you are so busy. SO busy. You seriously do SO much for your family and we absolutely recognize it. I mean, it ain’t easy working your booty off DAILY and coming home and being the best dad and husband out there! You men – we are forever grateful for everything you do, and to be honest – we couldn’t do this whole parenting thing without you!

But today I want to draw your attention to your beautiful wife. You know – that cute lady you married that welcomed you home from work with a big hug and kiss this evening? She’s been thinking about you all day and has been counting down the hours for you to walk through that front door!

She has had a busy day. A REALLY busy day. We’re talking a day full of every emoji emotion created!

She has cleaned up 17 spills. Completed 4 loads of laundry. Scrubbed too many toilets. Changed countless stinky diapers. She has been pooped on. She has been yelled at. She has kissed boo-boos. She has wiped tears. She has wiped bums. She has cried really hard. And laughed even harder. She has needed a nap since last month. And honestly? She simply…needs a break.

Soooo that is where you come in. Yes, that is why I am writing to you gentlemen today. That lovely lady that lives with you deserves a little VACAY tonight – and I know JUST the place to send her.

Some may call it the “Happiest Place On Earth.” Most call it “An Upgraded Wal-Mart.” And around here we call it, “Target. Every Woman’s Sanctuary.”

WHY you may ask? WHY does she deserve a trip to Target alone tonight? Well… let me tell you the top ELEVEN reasons why…

1. Because…Just Look At Her: She does a pretty good job at keeping herself put together and trying to look her best for you – so I don’t just mean looking on her outward appearance, but truly take a minute and look at how she REALLY is doing, on the inside too.

I mean, not that her messy mom bun and oversized tee she has been rockin’ the past few days aren’t the sexiest things you have ever seen on her, but I think she could use some alone time, don’t you think? Juggling the kids schedules with meal prep times and chores all while trying to work from home to make some extra money for the family AND keep up on the house, isssssn’t exactly the easiest thing out there.

2. Because I Promise She Won’t Spend “ALL” of Your Money: Come on, man. Not ALLLL of it. That is why there is a dollar section! We won’t talk about how that section is actually a secret TRAP and can have products ranging from $1-$10 a piece inside of it that easily add up to $548 in one cart, buuuuut still. It’s a dollar section. So pretty much she’s going to the dollar store! How much damage to the wallet can really be done?! 😉

3. Because There Is Something SO Rejuvenating About Walking Up And Down Aisles Aimlessly: Consider it like medicine for your wife. Taking the kids tonight for her and releasing her into the aisles of Target is good for her soul! To grab a diet coke or icee with a bag of popcorn and push a red cart down every single aisle can work wonders on her brain and heart. As she smells every candle and touches every pillow and tries on every shoe and tests every lipstick…she will feel like a new woman.

Which leads me to the next point…

4. Because She Will Come Home A Better Wife And Mom… I Promise: Sometimes all we need is a little breather! She tried to get a breather earlier today while you were at work, when she locked herself in her closet, but somehow the kids still managed to find her.

All day she has been dreaming of getting some “alone time” but the funniest part about it, is that as soon as she walks out those front doors to head off on this adventure you are sending her on – all she will do is think about you and those cute kids of hers! The escape will make her want you and them even MORE, resulting in a better woman coming home.

5. Because Target Gets Her – And She Needs That Kind of Friend In Her Life Right Now:   As a young mom and wife, this is a hard stage in life! Yes, it is the most AMAZING and REWARDING time in life too, but can be super stressful and overwhelming. She deserves a good friend. She NEEDS a good friend. And that friend is Target.

You know, a friend that knows exactly what she needs. A friend that knows her inside and out.  A friend that knows what style of swimsuit looks good on her and a friend that knows what shoes and purse she needs to go with it. A friend that has all the yummy food she needs in her cupboards and pretty makeup in her bag. A friend that can make her feel crafty, cute and fun! And Target just has this special way of doing that to her.

6. Because It’s Cheaper Than A Tropical Vacation That She REALLY Actually Deserves: So, let’s be real here. She deserves a heck of a lot more than just a trip to Target. In fact, she deserves the world. Buuuut we as women understand that tropical island vacations aren’t exactly cheap – so that is why this simple trip to Target will do the trick {for now.}

7. Because It’s Clean: And women want to be in clean places. Just sayin’. Have you seen how hard she has been working this week? I mean, she has been cleaning that dang house all day, every day and it’s already a mess again – so let her go somewhere fresh. Somewhere that smells good. Somewhere quiet. Somewhere that can make her feel like her hard work has paid off.

8. Because She Can Bring You Home Anything YOU Want: Dude, why NOT?! Target has EVERYTHING in this world – so while she is away, she can bring home anything your heart desires. A bag of your favorite chips? Some new Muscle Milk? Light Bulbs? A fresh, ice cold Icee? How about a new pair of shorts? A tie for work? Or an iTunes card? They have it all – so make her a list, and I am sure she will be more than happy to bring you home some special treats!

9. Because After You Get The Kids Down Without Her, You Can Watch Whatever Show On Netflix You Want {Because She Can Really Be Gone For As Looooooong As You Would Like}: Send her away around 5pm – and she could be there the next 2…3… or 7 hours. She could really spend the night there if you would like her to. Think about it – winning for you! You don’t have to watch the Bachelor tonight, you get to watch YOUR show. {If that doesn’t convince you, I just don’t know what will!}

10. Because If You Let Her Go Alone Tonight, Then She Will Be Good And Not Need To Go Until… At Least Tomorrow: Target has a way with women. You would think after you send her off on this magical getaway that she won’t need one for a while – but don’t worry – it will be calling her name again tomorrow morning when she realizes she needs more shampoo, laundry detergent or milk.

11. Because She Is Your Wife… That’s Why: Can we go back to number 1? I mean… just look at her. She is gorgeous. She is fun. She plays hard. She works hard. She cooks. She cleans. She takes care of the kids. She takes care of the house. She takes care of YOU. And she is amazing. So if you didn’t like any of these reasons above… I know you will agree with me on this one. She’s your wife. She’s your better half. She’s the love of your life. And she deserves to be happy. 🙂

So gentlemen… go home. Give her a kiss. And tell her the sexiest thing that any man could tell any woman ever… “Go to Target. Alone. I’ve got the house tonight.”

And I promise you’ll be her favorite person that ever walked this earth.
