From the Mouths of Husbands

,j2u Just when I thought I'd figured out how to type with the laptop on the move I hit something that makes that,j2u,(again apparently)come up!!! I think perhaps this is just the challenge I need to while away the hours of boredom hooked up to this machine. I've finally decided that after 5 days I actually miss television. So last night I mention this fact to the love of my life(and the father of my children bless his heart)and here's what he says! He says"You know I would be happy to hook a TV up in this room for you,but I have some concerns." Somehow I was stupid enough to think they had something to do with wiring so I politely asked "what concerns?" What came next was one of the stupidest things he has ever said during the course of our mostly delightful marriage. He said(drumroll,please)"I'm concerned that having a TV will give you less incentive to get up and do stuff around the house." No,he was not hammered-but he needed to be. A., can I borrow your mallet in between kids? Now I realise that I was laying there,pillows under my head eating dinner and being my usual scintillating self and since I always lounge around I can see how he might be concerned. But "gee honey" how can you not notice that I have a huge black(don't these come in a nice floral?)brace on my leg??? And the last time I checked elevating and keeping it iced involved a reclined position. Of course my preferred reclining iced position involves vodka but Percocet will have to do.I will strive to be patient with mt loved one for he knows not what he says. Meanwhile someone better get me a damn TV.
