Since I had my
little scare last week (one of the worst days of this month) I thought I would lighten things up a bit by sharing my
10 Favorite Things about being married to a man who is seldom home during daylight hours.
- I can have ice cream for breakfast, lunch, and/or dinner if I want without having to share.
- The TV remote is mine. I can watch chick flicks all day/night, no sports!
- The kids are always in bed earlier when I am alone, then when he is home.
- I can wear pajamas all day and he will never be the wiser. For all he knows I got dressed today and then got ready for bed just before he came home.
- I have all day to tidy and clean the house. Not that he expects it, but I like to have something to show for my day. A small little accomplishment.
- I can spend time connecting with my friends online, playing games, words with friends, blogging, creating, online window shopping, checking email, checking... looking... searching... without feeling guilty that I am not spending time with him.
- I can stand in my closet and play dress up like I was actually going out. These clothes have to get worn sometime. Oh, the places I could go.
- I can sit in my bed and read with the lights on, without worry about disrupting his sleep.
- I can experiment with different discipline techniques on my kids without needing a second opinion or for him to "get on board".
- The online shopping purchases always arrive in time for me to hide the evidence. He wouldn't mind if he saw them ... the man is nearly perfect.
What are some of the things you enjoy during these day/nights?
Having the bed all to myself.
ReplyDeleteNot having to worry about the pager waking me up.
:)
It had been so long since I had heard a pager, one night I thought it was the smoke detector and jumped out of bed. I asked him kindly to change the beep to one I had already learned to block out.
DeleteSince I am an unemployed housewife, this list applies to me ALL DAY LONG except for the kids stuff, I don't have lil' babies yet.
ReplyDeleteI'm not gonna lie...staying at home has made me happier than working.
I also go out of my way to organize things, room by room. I'll empty out closets/cabinets and put them back up in different ways. Yes, I could be out at some mall making $8/hr, but I'm happier this way lol.
I agree! I keep thinking about school starting and I am already getting upset thinking that I have to conform to someone else's schedule. I like starting things on my own time table these days. I have been spoiled that way. Happy days!
DeleteI'm with you on #10! I also enjoy getting free range to watch all my reality shows without hearing him complain :)
ReplyDeleteThere aren't many shows we both like, and he makes fun of the things I like - all in good humor though. It is nice not having to compromise!
DeleteGreat minds think alike today! Andy and I have different music tastes, so I can have a rap music dance party without anyone telling me that rap music "hurts their ears." Ha.
ReplyDeleteI loved that you mentioned Flo-Rider in your post:-) I was introduced to his music during my Zumba class a couple years ago and it is one of my guilty pleasures!
DeleteHaha love it!! Especially the part about online shopping..
