My Top Ten pet peeves about Amber
1. When I get home from work in the morning. She is always grumpy. How many people get shushed by their spouse when they try to tell them about the day they had?
2. I always have to drive. Example: A few weeks ago we go to my friends house, to watch a fight. I have a few beers and although she did drive it was like pulling teeth.
3. If the remote is broken I ALWAYS have to be the one to turn off the TV and the way other end of our bed.
4. I am the one who is always to blame for the sheets being messy. I mean I sleep in them for 6 hours. And it’s a long day with 4 kids before she gets back in bed who’s to say they don’t mess up the sheets.
5. (I will be called rude names for this one that start with A and ends with Hole) But I always have to unload the car when we go to Costco. She magically disappears.
6. I always have to pick where we go for dinner. Cause she does not care. But will automatically shoot down my first three suggestions. Really I know this so my first three suggestions really are just pawns walking the plank to there death.
7. The fact that its been somewhere close to 8 years or 95 months or 416 weeks or 2915 days since that fateful day I made one comment that was totally taken out of context and I still am reminded of said statement. “I never liked big butts till I meet you” A complement about her ass has turned into something I cannot live down.
8. I could always count on her to say, “ Hey Mike stop and get me a Pepsi.” No I can’t make it sound like we both want a Pepsi. I miss my Pepsi girl!
9. It’s not your bed, its our bed…. Enough said
10. The fact that I am in love with someone who is a Republican. The same person who would give Bush a high approval rating. At least she had her wits about her enough not to vote for Romney.
P.S. Thanks for holding onto your trade secret until Sunday night.

That's funny . . .
Poor husbands, reading that makes me realize, Greg better not even try to talk to me in the morning while he's getting up to leave at 6AM, 'cause dude, I'm tired! And he always drives! He's always the one do go down and turn off lights (or fill up water or something) if we forgot to before bed. He's the anal-sheet person though, I don't really care, as long as some pile of blankets end up one me. And I won't let him unload the car after Costco's . . . mainly 'cause I let him get the kid, and I put everything away, 'cause he'll do it wrong! :-) But he always has to pick where we're going for dinner, or what we're having if we're home. I STILL give him crap for dating not one, but BOTH of my old roommates. Bush bugged both of us though, so I guess that's something :-)
Funny how common a bunch of this stuff is in marriages! :-)

BAHAHAHA! that was really funny! I liked it a lot Mike. about putting costco stuff away, no way, Dan would put everything in the wrong spot and then he wouldn't even be able to find it later cuz it's not in it's "home". Dan always twists the balnkets up and it makes me crazy, but he refuses to use a top sheet so we don't. I never care where we eat either but I really don't, Dan doesn't either so that makes for an interesting 45 minutes of going back and forth "I don't care". what do you love about Amber? huh? I want a top 10 of those!!

rude mike I didnt list the things that bug me about you! and WE dont go to costco just you do. You act like I dont do anything when we get home and I'm usually inside cleaning the disasterous house up since I have been at work all day and you and the kids have been home and then just leave to costco without cleaning up after yourselves. So for heavens sake get over it and unload the car. Week after week grocery trip after grocery trip I unload and put everything away by myself and its a lot more stuff then your little costco trips so Zip it!

I couldn't agree more with putting groceries away! Duh .. what husband puts them away right and then remembers where they put them (maybe Mike's the only one?) I know I'm the biased big sister. I can relate to lots of things though, it's the mans job to do some of that stuff for sure. The big butt comment (well let's just say Jeramie shoves his foot in his mouth regularly and I don't forget either). That's some funny stuff bro! Cheers!!!

Loved it! You had me with everything but the Republican thing. That of course was very, very wrong of you.....hehehehe. I really think we are married to the same person, that would make our spouse unisexed. Odd thought isn't it? Honk by the way, Amber I need your email address for Meagan to get you on her blog.
