You’ve heard it before and most likely seen it…the bedroom floor covered with a sprinkling of socks, a shirt here and there, a pair of pants and a skirt…oh oops, yeah that stuff belongs to me, not him. Oh, I hope you aren’t disappointed, but no my hubby doesn’t leave his clothes laying around on the contrary hangs his dress shirts back up, so I never seem to know that they are dirty…hummmm…in his defense I am not great on the dry-cleaner or ironing so, yeah, I’m sorry. But there are other things that make me crazy….oh so crazy in love with this guy. We’ve been together for 20 years, and are just days shy of being married for 18. The list of things I find perturbing, perplexing about the man wouldn’t be enough to make a list out of, so instead here are just a few things he does that drives me absolutely batty insane in love with him.
5 reasons my hubby is making me crazy
He is no Romeo, not in the traditional sense. He doesn’t often show up with flowers, some of the ‘prom-posals’ way out do his marriage proposal and slipping me away for an unexpected fairy tale trip to Europe hasn’t and will most likely never happen. God is good because he paired us up intentionally. I’m not a flashy frilly person and so those things never really mattered to me. It’s the small daily things he does for me, that I don’t know he even really thinks about that I think are romantic and make me so crazy for him day after day.
Reason #5 -When we first got married he was definitely a night owl. I am not, and do not think I ever will be. He always stayed up way past the time I went to bed. And even though by nature that is what he prefers, it just doesn’t happen that way any more. However, I am always in bed first and on the weekend he will stay up until the last child is home so that I can go to bed. But he always ‘tucks me in’…just to clarify, it’s not an actual tucking…but he always comes up to kiss me goodnight and turn out the light. Makes me crazy…in love.
Reason #4 -While the topic of discussion around wives in moms clubs has been centered around how the hubs doesn’t do his share of housework, I can’t chime in. Not only does he not leave his stuff around he pitches in without being asked. He carries the hampers to the laundry room when they are overflowing, he does the dishes, makes our bed, and will usually spend much of the day on a Saturday doing laundry. If he sees I’m falling behind he picks up the slack without saying anything about it. Makes me crazy…in love.
Reason #3 -And while he holds me accountable with certain things, he knows when to not say anything. And when I apologize for being cranky, he responds, “What? I didn’t even notice…it happens to the best of us” and his responses aren’t even dripping with sarcasm. Because I know he noticed. And he chooses to do things to help instead of pointing out the obvious. Makes me crazy…in love with him.
Reason #2 -You know sometimes we struggle with stuff, like our body image, and while I know I had four kids and I am about 95% confident , there are those times that you’re just like…ugh…and he always says I look good – actually he says something more like ‘foxy momma’. Although he did tell me the other day I looked like ‘that monkey’ … I will give him that; my outfit was majorly askew, but apparently he doesn’t know his fictional characters because it was Paddington Bear he was thinking of not Curious George- dang those yellow rain boots! Makes me crazy…love him.
Reason #1 -I think the #1 thing that makes me the most crazy is watching him with our kids. From when he would stay up and rearrange all their toys and set up little play areas after we had all gone to bed (I’ve been awakened by that Little People cow more than once) so they would see their toys in a new way each day – to seeing him interact with our teenagers and their friends. Yes, teaching them by example on how to be a husband and father, yes that is the thing that makes me the most crazy for this man.
