Wearing the pants.

The hub and I had a long discussion (don’t know that I should call it a discussion…) over the weekend. Evidently, he feels I control much of what happens around here. With the kids. With the construction. With the schedule. Well, you get the point. Maybe he’s right. I thought he liked it that way. Surely, he could have married a doormat. But instead, he chose me. I’m exactly who I was when we met. And I must say that I have his best interests in mind with everything I do. (And besides, he makes lots of decisions and controls a lot around here no matter what he says.)
Last night, after the kids were in bed, the laundry was folded, the house was put back together after a long, warm, wonderful weekend, we turned on Desperate Housewives. (I love the DVR!) Lynnette’s husband works for her now at the ad agency. Realistic, I know. But anyway, he went on a rant about how he has no control over anything. She makes all the decisions and he’s just a pawn. She’s not only in charge at work, but at home, in the bedroom….everywhere.
Well, I looked at Andrew and he looked at me. Isn’t it great when tv helps us understand each other? At least our kids aren’t bratty and horrible like theirs!
Ain’t it great when art imitates life?
Look at it this way, Wendy…you could have been a “Bree”!
CM: I just wish I had Bree’s hair. Other than that, no thanks. I expect too much of myself as it is!
Junebee: Yes, it sure is.
wait, you like to be in charge? really?
What a familiar uh… discussion.
Try not making the decisions and
see what happens. Ellen
Kristin – it’s hard to be a wallflower all the time. don’t you agree?
Ellen – yes, the oh so familiar discussion. I might take your suggestion & just give it a try – and see what happens!
