My Hubby

Since our 6th wedding Anniversary is coming up, I have decided to post all the wonderful things about my dearest Schmoopie.
1. He doesn't care if I make diner or not
2. He tries really hard not to complain when I do make diner.
3. He always helps get Carson ready for bed.
4. He always calls to tell me when he will be home, or if he will be late.
5. He is tall :) very important
6. He is patient, and helps me to be patient too
7. He tries to be really quiet when he gets up early. (an excellent quality in a husband)
8. He rarely leaves dirty clothes on the floor.
9. He cleans the bathroom!!!
10. He picks up toys and helps to clean the house at night

Yes... I said it

There are occasions when I say the first thing that comes to my mind. I try not to do it very often. But, there seem to be times when it just slips out.
As a new home owner, I think it is perfectly normal to HATE the previous owner.
Why did he have to install asbestos tiles in the basement?
Why isn't the outside light actually wired to an actual light switch?
Why dose the attic have 2inches of insulation... instead of the needed 19?
Why is this house sooooo cold?
Why does the furnace keep breaking?
What the crap is the smell coming from the wash machine?
I could go on and on and on...
Our latest problem just happens to be the backyard gate, and its inability to open or close. Everyday it is a surprise... will it open today? no?
Last night Curtis and I came to the agreement that it is not the actual gate having problems, but the asphalt is moving.
Curtis: " yeah, the ground is defiantly higher over here... it must be the asphalt."
Me: "I agree... it is the Ass's fault. HA HA HA"

I must be a comedian :)
