We are Just Two Nuts Trying to Survive
Some cases are not as comical as we make it out to be, but me and my husband do sometimes need a babysitter.
He thinks I’m the smartest woman in the world. If he doesn’t know something he will ask me. I think he knows everything so if I’m confused I will ask him.
But we both forget. Like a lot!
He thinks I have a great memory so he’s always asking him to remind him of things. I admit sometimes I show up and deserve the gold medal. Other times I’m missing the mark.
He sleeps to 10 alarms. It think it’s overboard but whatever. I wake up naturally without an alarm because I’m an early bird. If he really needs to be somewhere I have to set my alarm to and shake him awake. He will sleep through ever last alarm while I wake up with a mini panic attack from the loud noise. Sometimes I forget to set mine for him and then he has to rush to get ready.
When he cooks, I have to go behind him and make sure he turned the oven off. Sometimes I forget and it’s left on for hours. Same with me. I might forget to turn it of he might check behind. Sometimes we are sitting there eating and we both go “is the oven off?” It’s usually not.
If he loses his glasses. I have to find and put mine on to help him find his.
My husband loses a lot of things. Every winter I buy him some on average 6–10 toboggans and about 3 coats. He moves so fast that they get lost. I am completely surprised that he has been wearing the same belt for years.
We need to start scanning important documents and housing them in the computer because I can’t count how many important pieces of mail get lost each week. I will say he tend to crowd the dining room table with mail and I have to move it after a certain period of time or it makes me cringe. He thinks im hiding it from him.
We both bought Sunday school books for church last quarter and they both got lost before the quarter was over. It’s insane!
We have calendars, sticky notes, random reminders on random paper towels and napkins and we still forget sometimes.
If you make plans to hang out with us, please remind us. We want to hang with you we promise, we just forgot. And yes, we will be late. Expect it.
We need each other and a whole lot more just to do the bare minimum in life. But we’ve made it this far and that should count for something.
