I Am the Backseat Driver from Hell

If you’ve ever been in a car with someone driving that would drive in circles rather than stop and ask for directions, then you know how I have been feeling lately.
Through the years, I’ve always thought it beneficial that my husband always insisted on looking at the big picture…he always must make a decision based [...]

I stole this meme from JavaQueen, after coming across her blog via Joy, Nikki, Sue, Laura and Pam’s blog.  It charged me to write about the five best things that my hubby has done/does for me.
The Five Best Things Hubby Has Done/Does for Me are:

Blessed me with a [...]

Pottying on the Floor and Proving my Husband Wrong

So, last night I was sweeping/mopping the kitchen and Doc was doing some work on the computer.  Bert was playing and Ernie, well…he was peeing on the floor!!
Yes, you read that correctly!  At first I thought he was just squatting and playing with our shoes in the foyer.  Apparently not.  Our neighbor from across the [...]

From the Mouths of Doctor’s Babes.

This is a comment on a blog that I read about today.  As the wife of a husband who is often working and not available to our family all the time, this was very reassuring.  I will make a point to let my husband read it as well.

Shocked and Awed

I don’t normally impulse buy or try everything that I see in commercials, but have you seen this one?

 
The first time I saw this commercial, I laughed my *ss off!  It’s funny and it made me want to buy this stuff.  I haven’t gotten it yet, but every time I walk [...]

Mellowing Out

It’s official…I’m getting older.
…and Mellower (is that even a word?)
I don’t stress over things that I used to stress over.  I kind of just go along for the ride.
Okay, this is either that I am getting older…or…
I’m finally getting used to my husband’s profession and caving to the fact that I often find myself in [...]

How Much is True?

This article was on msn.com this morning.  It is titled:  Ask Jake:  Seven Lies Every Guy Tells.  I have to admit, the title got me.  I took a peek and read the column.
I think back on Doc’s and my 14 year relationship (8 years of marriage next month) and wonder how many of these he [...]

Weight update:

I’m getting heavier…
While I would normally not like this result, I am realizing that it is occurring because my muscles are getting bigger.  My tummy is getting smaller, but my quads, biceps, triceps and neck muscles are all bigger.  I can work with this.  It just means I will always be a size 6-8…never any [...]

A Son Notices His Father’s Habits

Big Brother:  Mom! Look!  Look what I have on my shirt!!
Me:  What?
Big Brother:  A hole!  A hole, like daddy’s!!
Yes, people…even my son notices that my husband wears everything until it has holes in it.  Socks, Shirts, Pants, Underwear…it doesn’t matter.

My Mr. Handyman

Doc decided that he was going to “seal” the windows in our bedroom because at night he could feel the draft from them.  I got him the package of window seal stuff from the garage that we bought when we first bought the house and never used.  Granted, it was old stuff (about 3 years [...]

It’s About Time!!

My husband is a wonderful man–perfect for me in many ways.  We are very competitive and have been since college.  We took some of the same math classes and he always did better than me.  We took a computer science class and he did better than me.  Even though he topped me in those areas, [...]

Ah! Husband Mystery SOLVED (or not) after 14 years!!!

My husband and I I have had this argument while my husband listens flabbergasted for the past 14 years.  He is bewildered by my reaction to this and although we I have tried to dissect why this bothers me so that I could get a grasp on what made me so damn angry about it…I [...]
