Stranger In My House
June 12, 2005

The Husband and I have a golden rule that we never complain about one another's jobs. When you have a business or are trying to build one it takes huge amounts of time and that just can't always be helped. All we can do is make the most of the time we have with one another and be a huge support during the times we are apart.


But it does get tough. We're on opposite schedules lately and it's been difficult to connect for more than a "hello and goodbye". Having a meal together means eating from the same cold pizza sitting in the refrigerator, unfortunately it happens at opposite times of the day. We check in by phone or leave one another notes to stay in contact. In fact, the note I found last night ended with a "Screw You", followed by a "No, I am not mad at you. That was my attempt at foreplay from a distance". Quite the joker, that Husband.

I've only spent sleeping hours at home since Wednesday night so this afternoon when I got home - finally done with the whirlwind Tricking - I was greeted by The Husband wearing a "Hello My Name is The Husband" sticker on his shirt. As I reached out to hug him I noticed the microwave was unplugged and off the counter. I didn't want the first words out of my mouth to be, "What happened to the microwave..." so I bit my lip.


Before he let me go he said, "It's so good to be at home at the same time, isn't it? Let's just enjoy this hug for a moment and if you pretend you don't see that the microwave has been moved, I will pretend that I didn't accidentally put tinfoil in there and cause sparks."


*sigh*

Hopefully bad sparks caused good sparks.

The name tag idea is priceless, Lol!

The Husband sounds like a real keeper! You can always get a new microwave.

Awww... at least he can be self-deprecating about it!

Umm..I'm assuming the Screw You didn't do the trick after he fried the microwave?

Bad sparks did cause good sparks.

All is well. :-)

We should, however, buy two microwaves this time just to keep a spare on hand.

Or you could go the frugal route and not keep any tin foil in the house...
