Should we:
1) straighten up the house before she gets home thus making her really feel unneeded; or
2) leave the house a mess and say "We're really glad your home. We don't know how we can make it without you!"
My superior male logic says to go for option 2. :)
What saith the sages?

If you want to let her know how much you missed her, and can't do without her ... tell her you ate out every night and are really looking forward to some of her cooking! (Flowers never hurt either!)
However hard you try, it will never be good enough anyway!
So make an effort - then buy the flowers...
Straighten up the house...badly!
That's the one! ;)
Nick
glengara and Nick_W agree on something! ;)
I third it.
Nick
hard call mate,
tidy the place well, make her a meal, get the wine and some flowers and let her remember why she choose you.
hide the Coors lite. hehe
also cook the dinner..badly! she will appreaciate you tried but will see you are uselles without her.women love if you care about them so mcuh that you are prepare to make an idiot of yourself (while making something for her). Public humiliation (your , not hers) to show her that you are sorry or that you love her goes long way too ;)
btw, you didnt tell us if you want her to comeback?
Fathom must have meant on the CSS/H1 tag thread, Nick.
Glad to see at least two of us can remember previous discussions. ;)
Old pizza boxes and soda/beer bottles are stashed in a box in the garage (coat closets work well too).
Crusts, hardening chinese fried rice, and unidentifiable items can easily be swept into floor vents or under rugs. If the smell becomes obvious, blame it on mice.
Stash all clothes that smell in the garage (or basement). All clothes that do not smell, organize neatly in your dresser.
Buy flowers and chocolate and set them up in a nice display for her arrival. Make sure that table is clean.
to hang out... And do some dishes
Are you sure this wasn't hang-over and hide some dishes. ;)
I don't know how you do it!
many, many times.

Ouch!

Sounds dangerous, she may decide that's the way it should be and it'll cost you a bomb.
Tell her you love her (assuming you do) and tell her how much you want her to be there (assuming you do).
Don't listen to tbear he's been twice divorced.....LOL
She may not notice you until she finds out you messed up the laundry, but the flowers and knee hugging will have already worked their magic.
Have the house clean, and YOUR laundry done. Never do a woman's laundry unless you are quite sure you won't ruin her favorite blouse. Let her relax all day, then take her out to dinner the following day and tell her how glad you are she's back. Then hand her the gift certificate to that all day pampering salon.

Very true... but I was assuming since she's been gone a few days, there isn't much of her laundry to be done.

my even more superior "been married before" logic says you should have sold the house and moved before she got back. then you and the boy could have lived just the way you like it forever ........
Update: Kitchen looks great, dishes are all washed an put up. Since that's the first room she will see when she comes in this evening, that ought to be enough. :) I stayed away from the laundry.
Oh yeah, Matt picked up his room before he went out to play. Everything seems cool at this point.
I'll give her a big hug when she comes in. That should hold her for a couple of days.

A couple of days?
I would think you would want to try to get something else than just a hug... before she notices all that laundry. ;)
1: have the place spotless, but then she might not even notice because it is the way it should be.
2: have her come home to melted clothes in the microwave, droken dishes in the tumble drier etc
but if you chose option 2 you will be left with the saying "you are useless when im not here"
Option 1 would be the best ruit to go down... no mess no issue :)
are we not assuming it's a sweet little kid rather than a new lover
Well, glengara, after lorax mentioned a dog I tought it might be a dog for a while. But then I´m not really sure if you would tell your wife that you are getting along fine with your dog ;)
So I guess it had to be his kid then.
