Since V-Day is this month, I thought I'd post a few ideas of how to show your LEO hubby how much you love him. Without further adu, but with tongue firmly implanted in cheek, here we go!
Show sympathy for the poor, drunk 66 yr old lady he booked into jail. Yeah, the one he had had to clean vomit off of all night. While you're at it, sigh with sympathy every time he tells you disciplinary action had to be taken on a poor inmate. He'll love you for your oozing compassion.
Send him Mickey Mouse pancackes in his lunch. This takes great skill, as the ears are delicate and will fall off in transit, making them normal pancakes. His fellow officers then never have a chance to see how much you love him!
Ask him to run errands for you when he gets off work. Nothin' shows lovin' like sending him to a half dozen places that don't even open for an hour after he gets off the night shift.
Care enough to ask "now, which one is that, is he the one with no neck?" every time he mentions one of coworkers.
Give out his work email so everyone can send him those sweet forwards.
It's important not to lose his badge, name tag, handcuff key, or, and this is very important--his chapstick when you take it all off/out of his uniform to wash. Whatever you do, make sure you keep up with the chapstick, even if you have to wash it in the pocket. Trust me, he'll love you for it and he won't even notice the big dark spot of oily residue left on his shirt after 14 attempts to remove it.
While we're on the topic of uniforms, remember to keep the uniform pants that are a little snug right with the comfy ones. He'll appreciate the little reminder that he's gained a few pounds, especially on the nights he's running late and has to just wear them anyway. What a good wife he'll think you are, so concerned for his health!
Since we've only been in LE for a couple of years, I'm SURE I'm missing a few key ways to show your love. Feel free to add your secrets in the comments!
PS-Blogger is showing the love today by the spell check not working, so forgive my typos, I have no idea how to spell "adu"

Hey Wendy,
Great tips for Valentine's Day. I have one for ya! For those married to Police Officers who wear their bullet proof vest to work, please don't move the tuck tape. My dear hubbie uses it to ensure his vest is snugly. Too often, he is running late and can't find it. It's not a pleasant situation when this happens. So, I've learned to keep several rolls of tuck tape in our home.
Lol, I think that no matter what job he holds, every man likes to know where his duct tape is! We can never find it when we need it! A good wife always knows where the important tape is-this is an area I'm still working on, lol!
