So I got a raise this year, amazingly enough with the rough economy and all….and strangely enough they like to announce the well-doings amonst the floor in a mass email. And thought I would share the news with my sister in the land of far, far away.
Me: OMG, everyone is saying congrats and how deserving I am!
Sis: Wow, aren’t you amazing
Me: Yeah, it’s funny, how many people are responding 20+ emails. It’s like they all really love me!
Sis: OMG, you won’t be able to fit your head out of the building
Co-Worker: Congratulations! Very deserving
Me *turning around with a big smile on my face* Thhhhhaaaaaaaaannnnnkk
Then I realize she is on the phone saying the same spiel to another lucky associate…
Me: Maybe people just say deserving maybe it doesn’t mean anything special at all.
Sis: You are crazy!!!
*sigh* oh the roller coaster of the middle childs mind
Me: OMG, I was just thinking about all the things you did when we were dating that you don’t do anymore!
Hubby: What are you talking about?
Me: First of all, you never cared about all the sports – if a game was on you would gladly leave it to go out on a date with me or hang out with me. Now I can’t drag you away!
Hubby: Laugh – that’s not true. Besides you could always watch them with me! 
Me: Right – yuck. You gave me a false image of you…I would talk and you would listen. Any request and you would be there…You gave me a false idea that I could control you.
Hubby: What – I wasn’t listening to what you just said.
Me: Case and point!
Why the odd subject line you ask? Well the sister has “tagged” me, I guess into writing one.
And of all the times to come back to my trusty wordpress account…this is not one of the times I care to be forced to write such things.
But alas, no one wants to hear Miss Crabby Pants…so I guess I will pull out of my long term memory the things I love about him…
1. He likes my nightime burps…
2. He plays with my hair at night until I go to sleep.
3. He puts up with my cleaning crazies (see Cleaning = Serenity)
4. He mostly understands the “prove you love me today” mentality
5. He’s can be patient (see The Question)
That’s about all for now. One can not be forced to expand on such notions at a moments wimb
Anniversary Trip Portrait!
Every weekend growing up weekends were filled with our lists of chores you did. They were expected and somehow rewarding all at the same time. You would put your name next to the chore and cross it out to feel that satisfaction of a job well done…and then you could relax and go on your merry way.
Well now that I’m married those pre-conceived notions have come along with the package I must say. It’s now a requirement that we must create a list every weekend …no not really, but I may make a mental one…
1.Laundry
2.Dishes
3.Bathrooms
4. Vacuum (3 animals people)
5.Groceries
Don’t all efficient adults do this? Well they should if not. But this is where the whole unspoken expectations come into play in marriage. It’s typical for a person to see the mom do certain chores and expect to carry that out once she’s married and to expect the husband to do certain chores cause your dad did.
Anyways, what I’ve figured out is that weekend ritual my family so kindly created has psychologically connected the necessity for a clean house in order for me to enjoy my weekend. Cleaning = serenity…after having this epiphony the other week I shared it with the other sisters and they agreed. This is why the boys get such a hard time every weekend when they don’t follow suit! Since then I’ve tried to make it a little easier for my husband.
Now that I’m aware that all I need to be happy is for him to clean the whole house…I just have to make it known now, right? 
Well…what can I say? My sister is addicted to this blogging world and thought I had some words of advice to share with everyone. I have a lot of psychological theories; look for the things that “click” for me in the world…
Like yesterday, weirdest thing happened I found myself thinking about a song “Return to me”. Singing it in the shower that day, had a nice time getting a massage, going to lunch with the little sister and there it was, the song playing in the background. Is that not a sign people? Things like that happen people and and what can I say, I’m just more aware.
Anyways, for now I thought I would give you a site I was looking up today that litterally made me laugh out loud. Though I’d share it with the world:
