Confessions of a Busy Wife: Juggling Marriage and Responsibilities

In summary, DH just asked me where his menu and prepared meals are for when I'm at conference. This is AFTER I had already told him that I'm going to be really busy tomorrow trying to pack and get things set to leave. Who does he think I am, Jenny Craig? :rolleyes:

Well, my DH didn't ask for any meals before I left...he said he'd fend for himself. But you can guess what he asked for AS SOON as I got home...
I told him he had to wait until tonight!

Not according to him - I think it'd have to be 150! But I agree, it's warm!When I left Racine it was already in the 80's and I know it got in the 90's. It only got in the 80's here but was still icky...But anyway, it's good to keep the guys happy and at home. ;)

How many guys are you keeping happy over there? :)

It's down to 86 degrees in the house---from 88! I might actually sleep tonight! :)

That was a general statement to ALL the women. :)

I only have time enough for my 1 and sometimes I wonder about that. :rolleyes: He-he.

He knows he's the one and only.

Oh my! I have a story about that one...

So, there is this guy at work that is the 40 year old virgin (really, no joke)...he also starred in Dodgeball and looks like the guy that ended up with the mail order bride...

Anyway, he's had a Yahoo personal for years...at least 4 - it still says he's 36 and he won't change it...

Anyway, it used to say something about "growling and purring"...EWWWW...:yuck:

One day, we went to look at it at work, figuring we'd re-write it for him for his birthday or Christmas.

As we did a search for it...JUST IN OUR SMALL TOWN...there was an ad with a picture from another guy in the area looking for women and CLEARLY stating that he and his wife were swingers...

THAT IS SO WRONG! :yuck: Who knows what they are sharing...

Yup, wish I could erase that one from the memory banks...I don't know if I was more shocked by it or what? You always "hear" about those people but don't think they actually exist near you...

The joke in my house is that I have two 5 year olds. Hubbys go by the second number in ther age. So my hubby is 25 but acts like he's 5. Also when we got married I refused to cook unless he learned how first. That really worked he now cooks about 30% of the time. It may all be easy stuff but he cooks.
