Husband Tag

I saw a husband meme with a twist on A Familiar Path's Blog , so I thought I'd copy it! Here you go...

1. He's sitting in front of the TV, what is on the screen?

2. You're out to eat; what kind of dressing does he get on his salad?
NONE. This man eats no salad.

3. What's one food he doesn't like?
Seriously? It would be shorter to list what he DOES like. This man eats hardly nadda!

4. You go out to the bar. What does he order?
We are never at a bar. I hate bars. If by chance he is at one, alone, which I never seen that, it would have been Bud Light, Bud heavy sometimes. (But since they sold out .. he is on strike)

Ritnour I believe, and I am not sure of the spelling either.

Why did you stop!

So after a quiet evening of just hanging out. Getting our nightly reading and crocheting in. Little TV time. Just the nice norm I tend to enjoy after mad running for so many days in a row. So after all that Catcher Dude comes sits next to me and so ever so quietly asks ...

CD: "Mom? Are you mad at me?"
Stunned I replied, "Well of course not! (but thinking, why should I be? lol) Why would you ask that?"
CD: "Because, after all these years, the past 2 weeks you have not sent me off to school with your normal farewell greeting."
Me: "What? My farewell .. what in the curve ball are you talking about kiddo?" At this point I am thinking what in the world is this child been drinking? Is the cough medicine gone? Farmer*s Wife leave her wine out?

CD: "MOM! For as long as I can remember .. *pause* You have always stood at that door (pointing to the front door) and said the same thing day after day ..

"I Love you. Make good choices, use kind words. See you this afternoon."

Then it hit me! Doh! It had been such a habit! I didn't even realize I still said it. Much less .. HE WAS STILL LISTENING!!

CD: "I thought maybe you were mad. My days are just not the same." with the most sadden eyes.

I felt horrible. Who knew? My 13 year old was really still hearing me. But really I didn't have an answer why I had not sent him off that way. But I do remember a couple weeks ago him biting my head off standing there with my PJ's on and kids seeing me. I remember thinking then to stay away from the door. But I guess it was not staying away from the door and seeing him off he wanted to stop. It really was just the PJ thing!! *giggle*

I have to say I really love those mommy moments when it hits you like a 90 mile an hour fast ball to the head .. they really do hear you. You really are making a difference. Your not 1/2 bad at this mom thing. *smile*

So I will make sure I am at that door in the a.m, dressed from head to toe, and sending him off.

Cookin' with Special Guest Star Catcher Dude

CD has never show an interest to the daily life survival. (Cooking & Laundry) so when he signed up for his class courses this trimester I was in shock when I found he signed up for F.A.C.S. (Family and Consumer Science) or Home Ec in my days. But hey whatever floats your boat, good for you.

Anywho.how.and way.

He decided Sunday he was going to bake. But mom was tired. Mom wanted to stay in the bed she lay in. Waa. waa. Mom! Get up. Stop pissin and moaning. So sent him in the pantry to see what he could find in a box.

CD: Yellow Cake? Nah!
CD: Angel Food Cake? Nah!
CD: Brownies? Nah!
CD: White Cake? Nah!
Me: Will you stop talking to yourself and pick already!!
CD: Corn Bread? Nah!
CD: Can we go to store? .. Never mind! Dad is gone. Oh...wait...here is some Cinnamon Swirl Bread. Can I make this?
Me: That is fine. Do you want me to come in there and help?
CD: No. Just stay in there and if I need help I will ask.
Me: Okay. I will pop in my favorite one of my favorite holiday movies and lay on the couch.
CD: Fine with me.

I start the movie. I am watching.

CD: Mom where is the bowls?
*pause movie*
Me: Above the sink.
*resume*
CD: mommm!?! where is the measuring cups?
*pause movie*
Me: Above the dishwasher.
*resume*
CD: mom, where is the bread pan?
*pause movie* Get off the couch this time.
Me: Under there. (pointing) Why is it you put the dishes away ALLLL the time, but you don't seem to know where anything is?
CD: I dunno. Guess I wasn't thinking and was easier just to ask.
*rolling my eyes*

I ended up just staying in there and supervising the whole process. He did really good actually and the bread (that by the way he will not eat as he doesn't like cinnamon) turned out really good. He was extremely nervous about the whole hot oven, getting it out thing, but he managed to do it very well. In fact he managed to take his very own pizza out of the oven last night. *yeah! Catcher Dude!!* He wants to attempt baking/cooking something from scratch here in a couple weeks. Go for it babe!!

Mommy moments .. they really never do end. :p

Now maybe she (his F.A.C.S) will turn him on to the washing machine. Ha ha!!

Behind.

Alrightly no fair. *pouting* It is only 10 am on Monday and I feel like I am already 20 steps behind. That is alright. I will catch up.

* Shopping for School (check)
* Make yet another damn doctor appointment (check) Friday @ 8:30 am
* Do Saturday Suggestion from Princess over at Real Life Fairy Tales ~ Will complete this evening sometime.(check.late.but.check)
* Laundry for those needed emergency stat items ~ After afternoon DH run
* Catcher Dude Errands ~ Later on if he is lucky (check)
* 4 more squares on this afghan for CD for Christmas ~ While TV surfing this evening (check)

So for now since I am off to work up at school, then home to rush the afternoon away. I seriously have NO CLUE where the hours of 12:50-3:15 go. *bleep* *blink* GONE!

Monday .. Monday

So here we are again. You great me at the first of every week. No matter how much I curse you, tell you to go away, there you are .. MONDAY. The beginning of another week. In another month. In another year. You just keep rolling in. In my lifetime already you have shown up 1779 times. You certainly must like your day. But then again, why would you not? It is in fact .. your day. I am sure you would be missed if you didn't show up.

Anyway enough of that. Another school/work week is here and time to get moving. I have a couple errands this morning before heading up to school. I also have to make a couple calls, make more *ugh* appointments. I am so sick and tired of making appointments, after appointments. They better get their ducks in a row and figure something out. Because I am tired of bouncing from Dr. to Dr. plus I am sick and tired of feeling horrible and can hardly manage to take my head off my pillow much less out of my bed. Yep! I spend most of my wonderful weekends in bed. If it wasn't for my DH work schedule I wouldn't get out during the week either. *sigh*

So off we go. Shower, dress, and out the door. But really by the time I do first item I will hardly be able to move I will be so wiped. We have a fundraiser this Saturday for baseball and I do not know how I will even manage going. DH may have to cover for both of us. Anyway ..

Happy Monday!
