this morning as i was making the bed for the 1 billlionth time, i wondered something. so i left the room to find tommy, sitting in a familiar spot at the kitchen table, staring blankly at the screen on his laptop. i walked over, stopped in front of him, placed my hands on my hips and asked, “so if i’m dead, would you EVER make the bed?”
without looking at me (and without breaking stride) he said, “i wouldn’t have to. my much younger girlfriend would do it.”
and that’s when the innocent coffee mug met the wall for the first and last time.
that tommy, he can sure move quickly when he needs to.
damn. i’m gonna miss that cup. it went with a set of six. AND, it took me 30 minutes to clean up the mess.
funny comment of the day: harley started a new school today. a catholic school. we’re not catholic…or religious. when tommy and i picked her up she said she had a great day. and then she cocked her head sideways and asked, “is this a cathletic school? cuz we prayed A LOT. we prayed for the rain to go away…we prayed before we ate…we prayed so much that i thought for sure this must be a cathletic school.”
we’re STILL laughing.
overheard in the backseat earlier: ethan turned to harley and said, “did you hear what my tummy just said? it said ‘give me your burrito.’”
still laughing about that one too.

good for you for throwing the cup at him. i would have too!!
sorry about losing one of your set, though. what do monkey mugs look like anyway?
The truth is, Shauna dear, that your beloved wouldn’t be able to find someone better than you. And that’s the truth.
btw, I’m NOT a stalker. Just pointing out the facts.
I knew before you even finished the story that he was going to say something like that. Men are pigs. Is this really new information?
the problem with you women is that you set yourselves up for responses like this…and the truth is,you actually like it because it gives you more to bitch to your friends about. so typical.
right on Jimmy!!!
Perhaps, Jimmy, her point was not to look for more blog material, but to alert her husband to the fact that things like made beds, washed dishes, stain-free underwear actually IN the underwear drawer, and daily cooked meals are not anomalies that simply “happen” and that perhaps he should either pitch in with the daily grind or at least say thanks once in a while.
I sometimes wonder how you men walk around with those things between your legs…considering that the dangling apparently interferes with thought processing.
My family is also not catholic but when I was in kindergarten I went to a catholic school. By the way we are Baptist. My mom told me when they said their prayer,you know the cross, when Father Son and Holy Ghost was said to say I love coka cola. That just made me think of that.
