Husbands drive me nuts when they are trying to be helpful. I was sick on Saturday. He was very thoughtful and sent me to take a four hour nap. That part was wonderful. In the meantime, my mother called to have my older son come spend the night. I wake up to find him gone. No problem yet.
The next morning, however, I meet up with her at church. My son is wearing extremely worn jeans and a t-shirt two sizes too big. Turns out my lovely husband let him pack his own bag for the overnight. Thank goodness he brought a toothbrush! I had to listen to my mother mention, "I think it is great that you are going to the gym every other day now, but don't you think you should make laundry a priority? He said he couldn't find any clean clothes."
Mortified. That boy had clean clothes. Sheesh!
Oh, and while I am on a husband rant. He needs to stop telling people I am going back to work for goofy reasons. He told one set of people I got a job so I can get a new minivan that has seats which turn to face the rear. Yes, I would love one of those, but I am happy with my current paid off van thank you very much.
He told another set of people that I am getting a job because I am turning into my mother. Which to him means I want gobs of money for shopping. LMAO!!! While it is true I would LOVE to have extra money so I don't have to say, "honey . . ." everytime there is a craft sale, in reality I spend less money on shopping than any other woman I know. What is he talking about?
Tonight I mentioned to my mother-in-law that my younger daughter is signed up for the 2008-2009 school year for half day preschool. Ryan made an off the cuff comment about, "Well, this is assuming she keeps her job and can afford it." UGH!!! Don't make it sound like I need to work. Preschool was in the budget before I talked about this job.
Men - weirdos. I assume it is his way of making conversation with people while keeping our personal stuff private. I should start piping up with some nonsense of my own -
"I have to build up my Just-In-Case-I-Decide-To-Leave-Ryan fund."
"The deal is I work for a year, then I get to conceive twins."
"Ryan is making me pay for my own boob job."
"I'm not really getting a job. It's my cover for the affair."

Again, your sense of humor just cracks me up! I am going back to work next fall, and I think I am going to use some of your "reasons" when nosy people ask me why (except for the one with twins-I would die if I got pregnant with twins)!
Between me and you, I would freak out over twins as well. The ONLY reason I am SLIGHTLY interested in a fifth baby is because there is the appeal of the "one baby" experience. With each passing day, however, I am more convinced our family is complete the way it is.
