I Apologize In Advance to The Beloved but...


I have to share!
My poor spouse is becoming more and more like me - which typically would sound marvelous :) - but I think I may be having more of a negative affect on him than positive.
Alright, here we go -
In the month of January:
The Beloved left his lights on in his car - killing his battery - at least once every week. No joke.
Due to the lack of jumper cables in his vehicle - I was included twice in the restarting of his automobile.
Being the Queen of all vehicle retardation's - I understood perfectly the first time and it even made me feel good the second - Like - ohhh we're becoming one :)
But - it's the third time phone call you'll love the best. It goes something like this:
"Domestic Goddess in Training, I left my lights on in my car again."
"Really?"
"Yes, but I think there is someone in the office who can help me - so I'll get back to you."
So - he gets back to me -
and this is how The Beloved starts out almost all of his conversations with me:
"Domestic Goddess in Training, I have good new and bad news - which do you want first?"
And - I always say the bad.
But I don't usually get my own way.
"Well," he continues, "the good news is I found someone to help with the jump start. The bad news is, I need somebody to help me get my keys out of my locked car."
Is this story so Domestic Goddess in Training worthy?
So - we are currently working on solutions to help us with this little problem - but amidst all of this - something else worrisome was brought to my attention this morning.
I notice The Beloved prepping to iron his shirt before work.
I walk into the room to chat with him for a bit before he has to leave -
and what do I see?
"Beloved! Do you know you are ironing your shirt with hairspray? - and not starch?"
I thought maybe he had read about this idea in a magazine or something but the look on his face told me this was not a premeditated decision.
And the memory of that look is what has kept me laughing most of the day.
Gosh - I love him.
And I'll have you know I am the only one qualified to write about this -due to the fact that I sold a dryer - that became a washer - then magically turned back into a dryer all in one day.

Hairspray? That's awesome. You crack me up. Your little boy is really pretty by the way. His eyes are so beautiful. Hope all is going well!

HaHa! What a funny story. Just a few days ago I rescued Dusty who was 30 miles away and locked out of his truck with the keys in the ignition. I must say the whole way there I was giggling to myself because it's usually me with the keys locked in the car. Feels good, huh?

HI!!! I am so happy you thought my post was good, sometimes I am afraid that I come off wrong. You are such a doll, I read your blog and its so cute and witty. It is such a small world, Jed and my husband know each other, my husbands name is Tyson Schrader. Gumby and Tyson grew up next door to each other and their parents STILL live next door to each other. I know Kami because I briefly dated her older brother and got to know her, she is such a cute girl. Anyway, I love reading blogs and if you don't mind, I want to put your blog on my updated list:) THank you so much for the positive feedback! I appreciate it so much! ;) Your new blogger friend, Kylie Schrader

I am sorry to disappoint you, but your beloved has been spraying the wrong stuff on things since before he knew you. He once tryed to patch me up after a High Jump mishap, and instead of an anti-bacteria spray, he sprayed my wound with sport spray adhesive. He continued to spray even after I commented very convincingly of the unbearable pain it caused, and tryed to calm me by saying "it is supposed to sting a little." I don't have any experiences about the car stuff because I was always driving, so you may have passed that on. Very great story though. I literally laughed out loud. Tell everyone hello for me.

I'd like to hear more about the washer story. Sounds like he's got "pregnant/mommy brain" :-)

Cammy, thank goodness someone is with me;) It was so well written and I loved the authenticity of it.:) You obviously have great taste in books, you should let me know what else you like.:)

It's such a great thing to have a great big old belly laugh when you're reading blogs to take your mind off the fact that your son is late for his curfew. Since I laughed so hard I'm sure I "must" have been easier on my creatively bad, but oh so adorable son that keeps me up many nights. Hug and kiss those 3 sweet ones you have because they too will soon turn 19. Whhaaaaaahhhh! That was my scary witch impression - I wish you could have heard it - it was scary and so realistic! Have a great night and thanks for the laugh. It he turns out 1/2 as good as you are I will be one happy momma! I love you to pieces!
