I stayed up late to listen to McCain's speech (I'm an equal-opportunity convention watcher) with the kids, and now I must scurry off to bed before I walk into my kitchen and see something scurry across the floor. As I did last night. Which brings me to
Reasons I Love My Husband
Reasons I Love My Husband
- He always agrees to have "just one more" kid.
- He didn't drag me up to Maine over Labor Day weekend.
- He puts up with tripping over knitting bags and yarn stash in the bedroom.
- I spend all his money and he never complains.
- When woken at midnight by my decidedly female "Eeek!", he staggers out of bed and sets mousetraps in our kitchen.
- Before he goes to work, he empties said traps of whatever carcasses may lie therein.
Sometimes they are worth keeping. Glad yours makes you happy (for the moment, anyway)!
ReplyDeleteIn my case it would be letting your brother-in-law and nephew live in your spare room for 7 weeks and then renting an apartment in your own name so you could get them out. Yep, true love.
ReplyDeleteIt's not true love (in my opinion) until you sing a duet over the dishes.
ReplyDeleteI missed the convention tonight due to a swim meet. Any hair licking?
ReplyDeleteIf I screeched "EEK!", my dear sweet Nacho would ask "Well, did you set the traps?" But I love him anyway
*sniffle*
ReplyDeletei love that song.
Awww Fiddler! I haven't seen that in ages. Thanks for the video!
ReplyDeleteDo you think your husband would be a peach and come over to discuss #4 with my husband? I'd be forever grateful!
ReplyDeleteI love fiddler on the roof!!! LOVE IT!!!
ReplyDeleteVery very sweet.
ReplyDeleteeeww....thank goodness for husbands. I, too have redefined true love since getting married.
ReplyDeleteThat's so awesome! We've had two "just one mores". I would go for another, but this time he's really done.
ReplyDeleteMine agreed to one more baby, and now I keep apologizing for causing him worry, one of the things I think he was trying to avoid. Not to mention the extra work I've caused him. Worry and Guilt, that's what I've got. But is he complaining? Of course not. I chose well, too.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, you got a good one!
ReplyDeleteMy MIL called me yesterday and urged me to watch Palin's RNC speech, she said it would make me change my mind about her. So I TRIED to watch it, watched about 15 minutes or so, but it was like being at a Tupperware party. I remain underwhelmed and slightly annoyed. Brad likes her though.
ReplyDeleteYep, you've got a keeper! He sounds like mine. :)

True love deals with big spiders and furry rodents. I always tell husband that's why I married him.
ReplyDeleteProps to your guy.
my husband is the resident pest killer. we pulled him out of bed this morning to take care of a creepy crawlie......
ReplyDeleteYep. Mine does that too, good to know they're good for something. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the list.
ReplyDeleteLove the song.
Love the movie.
Love my husband too.
Life is good.
Yep, that's love.
ReplyDeleteMy husband doesn't do rodents or yardwork but he cooks. I think a husband that cooks is a keeper too.
that is love. Very nice reasons to appreciate your man.
ReplyDeleteWhadda Man Whadda Man Whadda Mighty Good Mannn!
ReplyDeleteI LOOOVEE that movie! Your husband sounds pretty sweet, too. He's a keeper.
ReplyDeleteI love that movie! Your husband sounds pretty sweet, too. He's a keeper.
ReplyDeletenow see...mine would be willing to exterminate, and cook. I just hope he doesn't think it's cool to cook what he exterminates.
ReplyDeleteoh god, i freakin' hate mice. if i see one more in my apt - we are moving. i can't take it.
ReplyDeleteLove and conscientious pest control are often confused.
ReplyDeleteDoes he clean up vomit too? My husband, God bless him, does vomit, mousetraps, dishes, and so much more. Love is grand.
ReplyDeleteMine emptied mice traps for me Up North, but lizards (dead or alive) give him the willies. Still, he's a keeper.
ReplyDeleteWe always trade off cleaning the vomity child and the vomity bed -- cause there's usually both at once. ;)
Mine had to get two mice once in our garage..with a shovel! He is the most gentle soul and normally wouldn't prefer to do that but he knew he had to so he did it..had me distract the kids as he disposed of them since they are such bleeding hearts. But..in the middle of the night to set traps? He would say, "You're an old farm girl. You can do it!" Emptying traps? My job, I'm sure. Thankfully we've had no mice in our house *knocking on woood*
ReplyDeleteWhat a keeper. Um, sucks about your mouse problem, though!
