Two weeks until Thanksgiving! Where did the time go!? I've got some cleaning to do that usually gets put off until company comes. You know... dusting some of the corners, vacuuming under everything, straightening the cupboards, that sort of thing.
So last night on the way to Bible study, Robb and I were alone. Meri had ice cream and cake to share with a neighbor girl and Maddy had 5 poems to write... It's not often we are alone in the car! It was kind of like a mini date! So we talked about plans for Thanksgiving.
I mentioned that if he and the kids helped out with cleaning this weekend, it should only take us 2 hours or so to get the house in order for company.
You know what he said?
"How long will it take without that help?"
After I rolled my eyes and counted to ten I answered. It'll take all day and a ton of complaining and cold shouldering from me.
I don't think he wants that...
What would YOUR response be?

Oh, that's bad. You had some restraint not to walk out & tell him he was on his own for cleaning. Then ask him, "how long will it take you?"
Husbands drive me batty sometimes with their lack of respect for all that we do. Oy!! You get all of my respect for not clocking him one right then.
Oh you guys are funny! You do have to understand my husbands humor... He said that expecting me to have that reaction. He wasn't serious... just curious I think!
The best company visit we've ever had was last Thanksgiving. All Matt kept asking me was 'how can I help?' It was such a nice CHANGE! And I was a lot more relaxed. Good for you for counting to 10 :)
Goodness...is it really 2 more weeks!!! ~eeek!
That's one thing about men LOL,they all need sensitivity 101 in school for at least 5 years...minimum!
;P
You counted to 10! That's awesome, I wouldn't have even thought about counting. I would've ripped him right off the bat.
HA!
that's why i don't even ask anymore! ;)
