Life has had ups and downs…but one of the vows I did take was for better or for worse…albeit I do have limitations for the “worse” part – luckily though he has been a good boy…
But when you deal with the same person day after day, year after year some days are wonderful…other days not so much…
The other day TC decided to
When I called at 4:45 to tell him I was on my way home and did I need to pick up the kids his response:
“Nope I picked them up at 4, homework is done and they have been fed”
{knees go weak}
Cause those of us that have been cohabitating for awhile know the above is one of the best kind of Marriage porn…
But it gets better – I get home and find
- Kids were in fact fed and homework done
- Dishes done
- Numerous loads of laundry done
- Bathrooms cleaned
- Puppy tired out
- Kids in gymnastics clothes
Then……when I asked TC what he wanted for dinner I got:
“I am taking you out to dinner”
WTH – what the heck inhabited my husbands body…I don’t have to do anything and I am getting fed – whoooo hooooo
Later that evening I told him he had a lot of “credits” in my book…
But…..
He is a man and in one morning he managed to cash in all his credits in the space of 20 minutes…
This morning I woke up and when in the shower I noticed about 3 red raised areas that were slightly itchy…one on my belly and 2 on my legs…since the weather is nice we have been sleeping with the windows open…so I figured F’n mosquitoes…
I go downstairs to eat my breakfast of 2 delicious hardboiled eggwhites (fancy I know) – I tell TC I think I have some bug bites and lift my shirt as I take a bite of my egg…
He informs me we probably need to vacuum the room because he doesn’t think they are mosquito bites…but rather SPIDER bites…
At this point I was in the middle of swallowing a chunk of egg, which I promptly choked on…
Let me tell you people something…if someone (ME) has an extreme fear of spiders…a huge phobia about Satan’s lice…you NEVER, EVER tell them the bites they have on their body could be spider bites…NEVER
Luckily egg white is smushy and easily coughed up so TC didn’t have to say...
“I don’t know officer she was just eating an egg and then started choking”
That alone would have only used up about ¾ of the credits he had in my book…
BUT….
Normally we commute together for work – but I have a Dr. appointment this afternoon which forces us to drive separately…so he ups and leaves and says “bye”
2 minutes later from TW mouth….”Mommy I don’t feel good, I told Daddy and he gave me a pill”
Threw me under the bus….so I do the temp (FINE), check the breath for Strep throat (FINE), - she had a runny nose and a sore throat…so I gave her a Benadryl and told her to rest…20 minutes later (and after one angry voice message left on TC phone) she was feeling better and off to school we went…
Last ¼ credits – GONE…..
