The love of a good wife

DoorNicole Orriens

a good wife
Today my husband came home, and whispered in the tones of a dying man:

'I don't feel so well… I may have caught the flu.'

My first thought was: 'Tough! You'll just have to keep going, just like I do!'
But then it hit me: if hubby was home, then I could make a break for it!

Why don't you have a nice lie down honey!

So I tenderly told him: 'Why don't you have a nice lie down honey, and tomorrow you'll call in sick. You can lie on the couch with a blanket, and watch the kids, while I pop out. It will give me a chance to do some grocery shopping, go to the library, and perhaps have a nice quiet lunch with me, myself and I.

I suddenly feel much better

For a while my husband stayed silent. Then he said, in a much stronger voice than before:

'What do you know?! I suddenly feel much better! I do believe I'll go to work tomorrow, for some peace and quiet.'

    My husband and I wage a silent battle about who works the hardest, and who's the most tired. But apart from that, we fight about who can cook the best soup. Bland versus spicy Hubby says his soup tastes the best, but I think it's more bland than Tinkiewinkie without his red purse. So I...

    'I had a dream,' my husband told me at breakfast. 'I was walking past a slot machine, and I happened to pull the handle. And I won a million bucks!' The dreamy look in his eyes reminded me of the time he heard there would be another season of Star Trek. Then his eyes fell...

    Even though we've been married for a long time, I still look out of the window with longing. Waiting for hubby to come home. Sometimes I even walk into the street, just to see if I can see him coming. My heart is always yearning for his arrival. Yearning for my husband And then, when...

  • Mom doubts

    I'm not the mom I feel I should be.... 'Honey? I'm really suffering from a severe bout of cognitive dissonance,' I told the hubster over breakfast. He was quite busy making a sandwich that would make Garfield salivate. But he managed a: 'Huhuh.' That's his way of telling me: 'I'm listening.' I'm not the mom...

  • Gehwol!

    DoorNicole Orriens

    As a mom I do a lot of wringing of the hands. Usually with a wet rag in between. And my poor, delicate hands pay the price, so last week I liberally applied Gehwol, a cream for dry feet. I figured: If it works for feet, it will also work on hands! Afterwards I left...

  7. LOL, OMG! You have me in stitches with this one. I know this scenario so well. You've inpsired me to write about it (perhaps in a day or two). I have to say though, you are suave, my inner harpie would have come out at that statement, but I'm still mommy new to mommyhood and still getting my head around being a wife... even though its been 5 yrs :0) Thanks for making me laugh and showing me how it's done ;0)
