Sentences that get my husband in trouble

1.  These kids are driving me crazy.

2.  I’m going to be late.

3.  I was getting ready to do that.  (As in, do the dishes, wipe off the high chair, change a diaper…)

4.  Oh I FORGOT to tell you  {insert:  anything to do with dinner out at a nice restaurant, golf, or invitations to coworkers to come to our house for dinner}.

5.  Where is it?  I don’t see it.

Gifts and pampering from my husband certainly help in keeping me from {insert:  your choice of bodily harm} when he says stuff like this.

(To be fair, there are a few sentences that get me in trouble with Tate.  Like, “I’m going to blog about this.”)

    What gets Hubby in trouble: When he yells my name (as if I’m a dog) from another room. I NEVER answer, even tho I ALWAYS hear him. I tell him over & over that he needs to COME TO ME if he needs/wants something! Grrrr.

    Good gift: I’m loving the flavored lip balms on Vintage Body Spa – mmmmm….chocolate orange truffle.

    I dont have a spouse! :-( But I used to hate going on and on and getting “wha?” in response. Does that count?

    The Wake Up Sugar Scrub in Yuzu Mango looks like heaven. With that 20% off, I just might get some.

    Can I substitute my Dad since I’m not married yet? Haha.

    It reaaaaalllly irks me when he sees me sitting, concentrating, with the laptop on my lap, clearly open, I’m typing away, and he just HAS to ask “Whatcha doin’?” And exactly in that way, too. The annoying, I-know-I-shouldn’t-be-asking-you-this-you-look-busy-but-heck-I’ll-do-it-anyway…I know he’s not trying to be annoying, but it’s really none of his business! Leave a lady to type, Father!

    I think the Vanilla Latte Suga’ Lips Lip Balm looks pretty awesome…so does the Morning Mocha Body Polish (organic) looks yummy too. Lord knows my feetsies could use a good little scrubbin’.

    The one my husband gets a major Look for is “But you LIKE doing it!”, usually in reference to dishes, laundry, clean up, cooking, diapers, or whatever other tedious menial task I can’t get him to do without threatening a pair of pliers to his pubes. Argh!

    And the Mint Chocolate body scrub looks wonderous. I miss my sugar scrub!

    hmmm.
    my husband is an airline pilot. so it really peeves me when he calls and says, “i’m so bored. i just got here in my hotel room and i’m gonna go get dinner and then we don’t report until tomorrow afternoon. so i have nothing to do but work out and lay around.”
    oh yeah.
    all while i am busy chasing 2 kiddos AND working full time AND managing the house when he is gone 4/7 days.
    but that neck wrap and a massage *might* make up for it.

    Stopping by to say hi from CommentLuv. But I do have to add this morning hubby was yelling at me for a change of $49.99 that showed up on the account. Of course I said I did not buy anything…when I arrived work (after a nice fight with him), he called to apologize that it was actually HIM!!! Ug.

    Oh, it’s too hard to limit to just one, so I’ll give you my top two:

    1) Jesus, is it that time of the month or something? (Please note that he is not asking Jesus this question)

    2) Did you take your pill today?

    These are often said during the same discussion/raging fight. It’s a wonder he’s still breathing, eh?

    The item that looks good to me:

    Suga’ Lips Lip Balm in Ginger Peach scent. (those little tins are too cute)

    Ooo, fun! I had to go look at what butter beans were… that would be my favorite product in yuzu mango scent! Just like bath bombs!
    My husband gets in trouble when I ask him (for the 12th time) if he remembered to do “x” and he says “no”. Grrr! Because it’s usually something semi-important and time sensitive!

    When I was 6 months pregnant with my first, he said to me…
    “Since you are going to have so much time on your hands while you are on maternity leave…”
    He never got to finish the sentence.

    “well you should have reminded me” is what gets him in trouble. Because it is apparently my job to remember everything AND make sure HE remembers everything. But lip balms and body scrubs would make it all better.

    My husband gets in trouble when he asks why I am tired, there is no dinner and the house is a mess. He then proceeds to tell me that I am home all day that don’t I have time? Considering I have 3 kids and watch at my home daycare about 24 kids a day-No I do not have time or the energy!

    OK, well he’s not my husband, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t say stupid stuff! My favorite of all time has to be:

    “Have you ever thought about getting your boobs done?”

    Maybe…but you didn’t ever really expect to see them again did you?

    “You never told me _______!” Oh YES I did! This comes up so often that I swear I am going to buy a tape recorder to keep on me 24/7.

    The shea butter sounds great!



  19. Carrie

    November 7, 2008 at 9:01 am

    Comments #1 and #2 usually set my blood boiling. But how about last night, when kid #3 was coughing in the middle of the night, and hubs WOKE ME UP and said, “Could you go get her a drink or something!” I was bleerily already on my way to the bathroom before the blood finally reached my brain.

    Oh! Reminds me of another one from nursing days. Anytime the kid fusses for over a minute, “Could you go nurse her or something!”

    I demand the shea butter, too. Or maybe the massage oil–with a massage, of course. For as long as *I* want it!

    Carrie´s lastest post..FOUND!

    Anything with shea butter is awesome. I like under the fair trade section the shea butter pump lotion!

    as for my husband – “the baby is crying”, especially if said in the middle of the night. um, hello – go get him!

    “WHERE IS YOUR MOTHER!!?” and “I’ll see ya, later”. The latter of the two is not so bad except when he does it 10 minutes before I have to pick up the oldest two from school, which means I have to drag the younger two along. Which also wouldn’t be so bad if I had a car! But walking with the two little ones and dealing with ALL the school aged kids too. Geesh!
