1. These kids are driving me crazy.
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.”)

That whipped shea butter sounds like heaven! That would actually be my choice of a make-up gift. If you’re going to argue, you should at least have glowy, smooth skin.
My husband get in trouble with “I was going to do that” too. But my favorite is
“Did you do ____ yet?” When I had NO FREAKIN’ CLUE I was supposed to do ____!! It’s usually something like mailing out a bill or calling someone about fixing something in the house that I had no idea was broken. Grrrrrr.

Thing that get my husband in trouble….
“you can do that tomorrow, I mean, you just sit and watch soaps all day anyway right?”
oh, and the wake up sugar scrub sounds nice…if I ever got the chance to take a bath I might enjoy that.
designhermomma´s lastest post..lovin’ mah little clown…
My husband got into trouble for saying, “Are you ready for the dinner party tonight? Did I tell you have to wear a costume?!?” And whipped shea butter sounds just great.
kirida´s lastest post..Listen US Americans!
“Oh, so you DIDN’T get the sippy cups ready?” As in, he apparently cannot pour milk in to 2 sippy cups and water into 1 for our daughter to take with her to the sitter. You know, the sitter that she’s gone to 3 days a week for the past 8 months. The same place that HE takes her those 3 days a week. Meanwhile, I get up at 5:30 to get out the door at 6:00 and occasionally oversleep; but uh oh if I didn’t get the freaking cups ready or the bag completely packed since he’s obviously inept at doing those things during his I have no real schedule mornings. (Sorry for rambling, obviously this occured this morning).
The body polish/scrub in Morning Mocha would totally make all of that go away. Okay, not all, but at least a little bit of my anger.
add this to the list- when he says this!!! agh! and I would love some of that shea butter!!
amy´s lastest post..RESERVED Maple Wood GiGi the Giraffe WoodenToy
My husband usually gets himself in trouble with these 3:
1 – I was going to do that. “That” being whatever I have just finished doing – dishes, laundry, picking something up, etc.
2 – Did you do {fill in the blank with something I didn’t even know was on the list to be done}?
3 – Are you sure you want to do that? This is usually said in the kitchen while I’m cooking dinner. Now, granted, he is the better cook, but he’s always complaining that I don’t cook enough. So if I’m taking the time to cook, then he really should just be grateful and not keep looking over my shoulder.
My idea of a great make-up gift is the Wake Up Sugar Scrub. Bonus points if he also got the massage oil and used it to give me a massage.
Kristi´s lastest post..And we move forward…
I think the Lemon Lavendar Sugar Scrub would make up for the stupid things my husband sometimes says like “I thought you were going to do it.” When I had clearly told him that it was his job to get “it” done. Oh well.
wright´s lastest post..The Name Game
“I’m leaving in 5 minutes” almost always brings on an eye roll from me. Although we’ve been together long enough now that he knows NOT to tell me when he’s leaving in the future, but to call me when he is already on his way…b/c I can have Mr. Navigation System tell me when he will be home;)
So many cool products, but I think a sleep mask would be great. Maybe that is just b/c I was up all night coughing and could really use one right now.
Ashlie- Mommycosm´s lastest post..November 5
Rock on! Here are a few things that would get Puppy a swift kick to the nads: 1. Why isn’t dinner ready? 2. Stop multi-tasking and just do SOMETHING already. (ooooh! big badun’) 3. Get your spending under control.
Anglophile Football Fanatic´s lastest post..From Sea to Shining Butt Crack
Whoops. Whoops. Dingbat me. And, I would love the Rose Vanilla or Passionfruit lip balms.
Anglophile Football Fanatic´s lastest post..From Sea to Shining Butt Crack
Can you drive into Bloomington after work? OMG, I drive like 3,000 miles a month for work and any request for leisure driving makes me CRAZY.
Rayne of Terror´s lastest post..Voting
My husband gets in trouble if he talks about doing dishes, laundry, etc. He does it so little, that it doesn’t deserve praise. But I’m always quick to point that out.
Oh, I like the Wake Up Sugar Scrub. Sounds interesting.
Mommy Daisy´s lastest post..DVD Review: Billy Blue Hair and Me
Damn, I cannot follow directions, can I. A little Suga Lips lip balm as a surprise would be welcome to sooth the pain of driving into town.
Rayne of Terror´s lastest post..Voting
I thought and thought and thought about this. I can remember there is one thing my husband says that is like nails on chalkboard. It irritates the crud out of me and puts us instantly in fight mode. The thing is, I honestly can’t remember right now what it is. We’re in a good place right now, so I haven’t heard it for a while. And, although I know I will hear it again, I don’t want to keep trying to remember because I keep remembering things he does that makes me crazy and me thinks that’s not such a healthy way for me to be spending my time this morning. By the time he calls me to say good morning I’ll be completely irritated with him and he’ll have no idea why! The Ultimate Indulgence Gift Set would be an incredible make-up gift. Yeah, like that would ever happen.
Mom24@4evermom´s lastest post..I remember this feeling, it’s called Hope.
I love, love, love shea butter, especially this time of year. Um…here’s one that always get’s my husband into trouble…
“I’ll be home in 10 minutes”….it’s never 10 minutes. He means in 10 minutes he’ll think about coming home.
His one main sentence that always ticks me off is; “While your up…”
I have tried this tactic on him before but the man could sit for hours on end and never get up.
He would have to go with the Ultimate Indulgence gift set, to get my forgiveness.
Jean@workingmomma247´s lastest post..Wordless Wednesday-"Junk Mail"
My husband gets in trouble when he says “The bleedings got to stop.” (Meaning, I’m spending too much money… as if.)
I’m a sucker for lip balms and anything lip-glossy – I’d love to try their Suga Lips Lip Balm. But that’s for me. Their ultimate gift set looks pretty fun for giving away.
Heather´s lastest post..I Voted
Luckily, DH doesn’t talk about the kids driving him crazy that much…but the other stuff is right on. My favorite is the “I was going to do that” followed by anger because I decided to do it myself and makes him look like a lazy ass. I just tell him he should have gotten up and done it 3 hours ago when I first asked…
Sandy´s lastest post..Never Again Will I Doubt the Importance of My Voice
Sometimes when my husband is going to help out, he’ll say something like “Want me to do your dishes for you?”
Um, they are not MY dishes. They are OUR dishes and it benefits both of us equally to have clean plates.
I could really use some whipped shea butter – I spend all winter with itchy dry skin and I go through gallons of moisturizer.
Stephanie´s lastest post..Hope, I gots it
wake up sugar scrub
Okay. “I was getting ready to do that.” Mike says that all the time and what the hell does he need to get ready for? Mental preparation? Seriously?
Another one that gets me going is, “I don’t think that’s going to work.” Without offering any other type of solution. Okay, genius, WHAT do you suggest we feed the guests at this party, if you think that’s way too much chili to make. Seriously. Grr.
Cathy´s lastest post..Our Halloween Day
Exboyfriend used to get in trouble with “My mom says you should do it this way.”
It was well established that I thought (and he agreed mostly!) that his mother was a whack job.
Like your hubby says–”I was just about to do that!” or “I would have done it but you already did it”
Grrrrrrr.
JUST DO IT, eh?
kj @ Where my boys at?´s lastest post..Success, people. Success!
It’s not a sentence my husband says to get himself in trouble, so much as it’s a signature move. The one where he exits stage right immediately anytime he senses that I’m upset. So as to wait out the storm until I calm down and it’s safe to come back. Right. Perfect.
Amy´s lastest post..yes we can
Without a doubt, it would be “I am sick of all the yelling in this house”, which is delivered (as I am yelling at the kids for doing something awful/damaging/stupid) from the couch where he is watching the game and ignoring the havoc being wreaked by them.
Gina´s lastest post..I Will Be Saying Fuck a Lot Today
One of the rose-flavored suga lips lip balm sounds awesome!!! My hubby, who is in the army and frequently travels (not overseas, thank goodness!) likes to say “Jen, do you want the good news or the bad news?” I’ve come to learn that there is never any good news and it usually involves him leaving for quite some time!!! ARRGGHH! He’s one that’s lucky he’s cute or he’d be hearing some bad news from me while waiting on the curb with his bags packed!!!
Words I heard last night that I hate? “I’m so h*rny.” Like that’s suppose to turn me on?
Heather, Queen of Shake Shake´s lastest post..In-laws, assholes & opinions: can you tell the three apart? Let’s find out!
phrase that gets him into trouble:
“Well, you’ll just have to bring both girls with you”
said after I’ve told him I can’t find a sitter, and I need to go to the gynecologist, get blood drawn, or my personal fav, when he asked me to buy a bunch of lumber at Lowe’s
The lemon lav scrub sounds soooo nice!
Jenny Henny´s lastest post..I know, Halloween is over, this is not very timely at all
My husband gets in trouble when he calls ten minutes after he was supposed to be home to let me know he will be another twenty minutes late.
Or when he tells me a need a break after I just lost it with one of the kids. A break- yeah maybe if we could schedule one for every year or two?
I love facials, so I would go with the Mud Masque.
Amy´s lastest post..Wordless Wednesday
“It’s not my fault I can’t get up, you function better without sleep than I do.” AARGH! The man is lucky we don’t keep the knives in the bedroom – just watching him sleep makes me want to hurt him!
I like the looks of the suga’ lips lip balm – also the Glacial face mask, I need all the help I can get in the winter.
badness jones´s lastest post..The Battle of Midway…
My favorite is when my husband doesn’t SAY anything and shows up late. AT least call.
But at least a Sweet Treat Gift Set would help.
Teri´s lastest post..Instant Gratification
I would love to try the Suga’ Lips Lip Balm in passionfruit rose.
So if he tells me that he is going to do something around the house and then i catch him surfing the web, he better buy this for me:-)
Aldara´s lastest post..
I would definitely get the wake up sugar scrub. THAT sounds divine.
It’s not a sentence my hubby says, it’s the look he gets when trying to explain something to my pea brain. The glance to the ceiling, the deep sigh. The ducking as I swing a knife towards his heart.
all things BD´s lastest post..Wordless Wednesday: It’s Finally Over and I Don’t Have to Deal With the Drama Anymore
My favorite to date is:
Is that a maternity shirt?
I wasn’t pregnant.
Betsey´s lastest post..The Fundamental Difference
I’m not married, but when I lived with my boyfriend, the most common was “I’ll do the dishes, honey.”
9 times out of 10, you can bet a million bucks that FOUR DAYS LATER, I was standing at the sink washing those dishes.
Amy´s lastest post..We Did It!
How about “Were you planning on telling me about this?”
When I did in fact, tell him whatever it was the day before or that morning, and he a) didn’t listen or b) doesn’t remember.
Usually A, buy his own admission.
I love the Body Polish. Haven’t decided on a scent yet. Probably chocolate.. no orange. wait, maybe the mint…
Eternal Sunshine´s lastest post..And the winner is…
My hubby gets the look of death for:
“so you’re done working for the day?” Yep. I consider – cooking dinner, cleaning the house and doing laundry, not to mention taking care of ‘the child’ among all the other things that have to be done – leisure time….
And
“I would have helped you if you asked, what do you need me to do?” Like the man wasn’t seeing me carrying 8 things and trying to unlock the front door while holding a sleeping 4 year old and he doesn’t know what to do…geesh!
I think the Lemon Lavendar Sugar Scrub would wash my cares away!!
Thank you
I think the Lemon Lavendar Sugar Scrub would make things better when my husband says “the days not over yet” at 10:00pm when I ask him to empty the dishwasher so that I can reload it after dinner.
after having every momy button pushed till I blow then he says, ” I think you have anger problems, cmon honey, we need to leave mommy alone!” well maybe if mommy hadnt been alone to handle every #@$%$# thing, she wouldnt have anger issues … I think the scrub would calm me down…
I know one thing that gets my wife in trouble…
when she calls from work saying she’s going for a quick dring and will be back at 9 and only arrives at 2 am… that did get her into HUGE trouble… at least twice… and after last time I surelly hope she won;t do it again…
BTW!!!!
you are officially invited to COME PIMP MY BLOG!!!
there’ll be prizes to be won!!
UrbanVox´s lastest post..We’s back babes! And I have things to tell!!
Ugh, I agree with all of yours plus when my husband tells me that he can’t ever get up with the baby in the night because he is on the road all day and could get in a wreck. Our son is 21 months old and he has never gotten up out of bed in the middle of the night to help with him except the very few occasions that he took a sick day with him while I was working.
“I’m so tired.”
Heather´s lastest post..Grosser Than a Dog’s Butt
“It is not my fault”.
100% guaranteed to make the top of my head blow off. Cuz you know it is too his fault
paige´s lastest post..Meet Squeaky
Hmm, there are a few. The one that makes me the maddest is when I am stressed about something, then he tells me that he will do it just to calm me down. Usually some chore or errand. Then, surprise surprise, he doesn’t do anything and I am MORE stressed because I am doing it at the last minute, or up at 2 am the night before a party washing the floors. Jack ass:) Then he’ll tell me “I told you I’d do it!” When exactly? As people are arriving???
Haha as you can tell, I have some pent up anger about his one:)
Some Massage Oil could help him make up for it:)
Steph´s lastest post..PBR how I love thee…
There are so many….How about, ” Could you do (insert job here) when you get done sitting around doing nothing.” I think the massage oil would make up for some of it.
Since I don’t wear makeup – this isn’t an entry – but Annie ‘keeps the books’, if you will. I get myself in more trouble with “What receipts?” than anything else.
lceel´s lastest post..The day after the night before
A sentence that got my husband in trouble: “I cheated”. There’s not really a gift that can make up for that, but if I have to choose, I’ll take the Ultimate Indulgence gift set. K, thanks.
When my husband is pissed off at me, he hates my blog. But plenty of other times, he suggests posts.
this gets my husband in trouble…”i’m just going to sit next to and watch south park on my laptop and laugh like an asshole while you sit and try to watch grey’s anatomy”
haha.
ps. butter bar! i want me a butter bar!
