My wife's protest

I have to admit, I may have to give up this blog. Or, maybe simpler, I may have to stop poking fun at my wife. Unfortunately, she knows that I cannot take care of myself. Actually, I have become dependent on her as she takes care of all of the details of our life. She here is here little protest.

Some of you may remember back a few days ago, I blogged about my wife's insight into life, you know the one where she feels like she needs to have 5 sets of everything she likes from sandals to deodorant. Here is the abundance post if you haven't read it. Anyway, my wife decided it was time to undermine my leadership of the family. She did her normal shopping this week, you know stocking up in case of a flood type of preparation. BUT... instead of buying everything we needed, she selectively left a few things off the list. I went to shave Saturday morning, and I couldn't find the shaving cream. I reached around my 5 deodorant sticks and 3 gallon bottles of contact solution, but to no avail. I figured it was somewhere different, so I just didn't shave. This morning I asked Kacey where my shaving cream was. She informed my that from now on, when i ran out of things, I could add them to the shopping list and she would buy them. She let me know that she didn't want to be a hoarder and fill our cabinets with too much LIKE I HAD BLOGGED ABOUT...

You have got to be kidding! She protested a simple poke of fun with no shaving cream. Now my neck is all raw. She suggested I use soap until she could "get to the store". I couldn't believe the gall it takes to do that. I searched the cabinet and found Nair. I thought about using it, but was disuaded by the idea that it is a chemical peel for hair that disintegrates hair while you watch. I thought that coming to work with half my face missing and explaining that I used Nair on my face wouldn't be the best career move. So I sucked it up and used soap. This will not be the last of this issue, but Kacey won this battle. But don't worry, it is not the last battle...

Until tomorrow...

Don't worry, this isn't the only thing I didn't replenish for him. I guess this week is going to be full of surpries for my good-for-blogging husband. Perhaps after this week he'll remember to get down on his hands and knees and thank God for the day he met this "hoarding" woman! I'll keep you posted...
