I was thinking about the fact that we all go through almost the exact same things in life, and in marriage. I know that I have some horribly irritating traits that Cullen has had to overcome in order to not beat me to death. What fun is it to keep them in? I'll show you mine...
1. I have to be the most irritating backseat driver EVER. I can barely stop myself. I try, I really do.
2. Also in the car, I can't leave the radio on one station. I need to hear the next best song, NOW.
3. Talk radio in the car makes me want to crash. It's like having an extra 3 kids in the car.
4. I never remember where I put my keys. If you need them, check my jacket pocket or purse and leave me alone. I have enough other stuff to remember.
5. I happen to think that I keep up with 4 kids very well as far as keeping the house clean, but every now and then I say SCREW IT and I stop cleaning. Sometimes for a full day. Cullen does not like this very much.
6. Never ending laundry is the same. Now and then I go on strike for 2 full days, to everyone's dismay.
7. Sometimes I don't want to talk to anyone, so I stop responding to phone calls and emails, for the break. This annoyes just about everyone I know at some point.
8. I take the vaccuum out, use it, and then leave it out. Cullen hates this too, but I can use the thing every hour or so, so why put it away???? When I put it away I don't vaccuum for a couple days.
9. I'm impulsive. Everyone knows this. But if you were Cullen, you might find it a little more irritating because I also really want to get my way and I hate obstacles more than anything in the world. How do you think I ended up with a hysterectomy and my gall bladder out? :) I won't be stopped, dammit!
10. In general, I'd rather stay home than go out. Well, this is more true if the people we're going out with are going out to drink. That isn't fun to me and I don't want to go. Cullen doesn't like to go out without me, so he gets crabby. If we're going out to eat though...well, talk to me! YUM!
See? How can you possibly STAND ME? hahhahahahahha! But really. I should try not to be so irritating with some of that. I vow, right here infront of all 2 of you, to stop backseat driving IMMEDIATELY, and UNCONDITIONALLY. If he gets into a car accident with me and the kids, THEN I will have earned the right not non stop micromanaging his driving. :) GOOD?
As one of your two, I will try and check in on your backseat driving issue. ;)
ReplyDeleteHA!!! I'm doing good, if you wondered. I know that's probably what kept you up last night, but wonder no more. I did it ONE TIME on Sat night, and I apologized, and he hadn't even noticed thta Ihaven't been doing it!!! So much for my THE SILENCE IS DEAFENING theory on that one. :) But I'm still not going to do it. I'm irritating myself less too. hehe
