I Just Have To Say...

A lot of times when people post in this particular forum, it's due to something negative or troubling in their life they need advice about.

But I just had to take a quick time-out to say...

I love my wife. She always warns me before she goes nuts.

I just got off the phone with her, and we had our little game where she says, "I'm bored," so I say, "Well clean something."

We do this all the time, we both laugh and she says, "Blah blah blah."

Today, though, when I said, "Clean something," she replied, "Hey you better watch yourself, Mister. I'm getting on it tomorrow."

That means she will be in what we call "Cleaning Mode" at my house. Trust me. This is not something you want to be around for. But then she made it worse by adding those five little words that always send a chill up my spine....

"I made myself a list." :sad :chokedup :o :crazy :shocked!

The literal translation of that phrase is, "I'm cleaning up, and you're making yourself scarce. Do not be in my way, or you'll get run over. Do not try to help, because no matter how hard you try you won't do it right anyway, and that will just make me mad and I'll have to do it over myself. Go to your room and stay there until you're instructed to come out."

So on the negative side, my wife will enter a mode of insanity that I won't even attempt to describe or understand. On the plus side, I have a about a 15 hour warning, and I got permission to play games and watch Spongebob with the two little kids all day (our oldest will be in school...lucky for her).

It's awesome that she loves me enough to warn me ahead of time about what I'll be waking up to. :screwloose

I love that woman. :yes
 
I read this to my dh. He loved it and laughed, especially about "can't do it right anyway" that sounds familiar to him, too. :)

I have tried so hard, so many times to help. It just doesn't work. Last time she made a list, we had some laundry to catch up on, so I went to help her fold it. She made me fold the same towel three times until I did it right.

No, I'm not joking.

Then, when I folded it correctly and laid it in the pile, she said, "Now it's all crumply! Just go play."

To this day I have no idea what "crumply" means, and I'm not allowed to fold laundry anymore. Or wash it, because apparently I don't supply the correct ratio of detergent to clothing. I can, however, move a load from the washer to the dryer, and put clothes into the washer. I'm just not allowed near the detergent. :thumbsup

I joke about her, but our house would fall apart if she wasn't there to keep it in line. Just being honest.
 
She has cleaning mode also? Must be a defective Gene in the wife pool. Glad I am not the only sufferer out there.

Mike.
 
I hope someday a man will love me like that although God in His eternal wisdom decided to create me without a house cleaning gene.

A house is not a home without a good wife there to bring those 'intangible necessities' us men often don't consider or overlook. We are blessed to have them in our world. I don't know what I'd do without mines.

matt is your husband.lol you orders to him on towel folding is exactly what my wife does to me. except that she does allow me to load laundry. of course the odd thing I don't get is the shake the close ere ya put them in the dryer thing.
 
on a towel. yes but really that doesn't work.i have watched her shake them and it doesn't even do that.of course I know my wife didn't know that one is too never dry a karate belt. she did that once and it shrunk to the point where I couldn't wear it. I also have told her to hang my judo gi up to dry.

Lol yes he is my hubby :) n i dnt get the shaking thw towel thing either i dnt do it lol....but i dnt let him touch laundry really either so lol
 
My wife used to be more critical of the way I did housework. But the Lord corrected her over the issue of respecting her husband after she got onto my case about how I put dishes in the dish washer. When we had our last baby, I ended up doing a lot of the dishes. She admitted after that that I put the dishes in the dish washer better than she did. :) But I've backed off and let her do more of that anyway now that she's better and I have to focus my attention on my career.

She does do a lot of the housework better than I do. And if she's in cleaning mode, she won't run me over, but I'm fine with giving her space to clean. It's a good excuse to take the kids outside, too.

When I'm out and later come back and I see my dear wife has cleared in my absence the mess I made, it's just wonderful.......What would we do without our wives? :)

Blessings.

Sometimes I think I'd like to give it a shot and find out. :D

Then I realize how quickly I'd lose track of diapers, formula, the kids' clothes, my socks and underwear, my pens, my glasses, food, DVDs...the list of potential "Where did it go?" items is endless.

So instead, I will just be thankful that I'm blessed with a woman who can keep up with my stuff, because that is an ability I do not possess. :yes

Your post brought a bit of a lump to my throat, because this is what I think of my dear wife, too.

Blessings.
