Thursday Thirteen – 13 ways to drive your husband crazy

First of all, get your brain on track here – this is a PG13 blog! Now that we have that cleared up – Here are my top 13 ways to drive my husband crazy(or more aptly, why he deserves a medal!)

1. Promise that this week he really will have clean underwear. (And then of course, have to be reminded of said promise, because I have the attention span of a gnat. – Yes, he does the laundry more often than I do now.)

2. Take furniture measurements and then send him to pick up said furniture – assuring him that IT WILL fit in said vehicle. (Do I need to tell you that I am inept at taking measurements? – Good thing hubby figured out a long time ago that me and tapemeasures don’t mix!)

3. Buy a new cookbook! (I refer you to previous blogs, where it is now common knowledge that I can’t cook, shouldn’t bother and hubby has become a wizard in the kitchen

4. Start a sentence with “I was thinking…” - These words alone make him nuts – probably because it’s usually followed by something that involves work on his part – and directing on mine .

5. Make plans and never put them on the calendar. Okay organization is not my strongest point – thank god I married a very organized marvel of a man

6. Give driving directions - ha! I only have a three letter response for this problem – GPS!

7. Create a sauna in the house. I love, love, love my hot showers. Seems not everyone in the house shares my love or enjoys the steamroom feel of the house for hours afterward – go figure.

8. Do you hear that noise? In my defense, hubby does have a hearing problem, but come on – everything from clunking car noises to humming appliances can drive me crazy and I drive him crazy making him find the source and elminating it.

9. What list? I don’t shop with a list – this has to be one of the worst offenders on this list. I’ve been told that grocery shopping with my going up and down every aisle at least once while scouring my memory is enough to drive him off the cliff.

10. Have coffee obsession. I’ll admit I like a nice cup of coffee. I’ll even admit that I’m fairly partial to the flavorings and creams I put in my coffee – I’m not a plain vanilla girl, don’t ask me to drink plain jane coffee either. Evidently he thinks this is odd.

11. Develop pack-rat ways. Getting back to my organizational inabilities – I realize I live in what I have deemed “organized chaos.” I can generally put my finger on something important within a few hours or possible a day if I need to. And I do see his point that my piles of stuff drive him nuts (good thing the new house has more closets!)

12. Procrastinate. I think this one word is enough on that subject, thanks.

13. Ask dumb sports questions. Admit it, we’ve all done this. Asked the question that seems so logical in our mind, and is most definitely an insult to his favorite game. The hubby’s eyes roll back in his head, he chokes on his beer and the look in his eye that says “are you kidding?” are common signs that I’ve crossed the sports-lingo line.
