My husband is so clueless and lives in his own little world.

I think he gets me…but sometimes he just doesn’t get IT. My first mother’s day (pregnant) he took me to the Sears outlet to buy a garage door opener. (He thought it was sweet because he didn’t want me and the baby to have to walk in the rain) Since then I haven’t been able to get him to plan much of anything. He makes me breakfast, buys my cards from the kids…but then it seems like it’s up to me to plan the rest of the day. I always hold out until the end of the day because I hope he’ll surprise me with something…but he never does. He’s just not good at that stuff. Which is funny because I don’t have problems with anything else…he’s Mr. Mom for half the week because we switch off which one of us is working and which one is home with the kids. But for some reason men just don’t seem to think about things the way we do. I put so much time and effort into planning these kinds of things…whereas he’ll stop and the store on the way home from work to pick up whatever. It just kind of stinks!

That’s funny! I would love to hike! I got home today and there was a card on the table with a large envelope. I guess TJ and Colton went and got their picture taken at some picture place! Lol. It’s too cute.

Oh that is funny! Sad, but funny! My husband would soooo get the “evil eye” if he suggested hiking to me – Mother’s Day or otherwise. I think he knows me sometimes, but other times is completely clueless. It’s the nature of the beast I suppose!

I hope you have fun whatever you end up doing. Maybe for Father’s Day you can suggest shopping or sewing or something!

Well, we have been married 32 1/2 years and I know he would never suggest that! I guess we do know each other so very well, but he never would have suggested that earlier in our marriage either because he knew I would hate it. LOL This is a subject we have discussed over and over. Our one daughter has many times said how she hates hiking and camping also, so it has been talked about endlessly. Other things might be different but I think we just do know each other so well that usually he gets it right. It could be length of time or also that we pretty much like the same things and do everything together-except for baseball games which he takes our son and I gladly stay home. They tease me and ask me if I want to go and know I will say NO!
Anyway, this was a cute story to start the day so thank you for sharing! Have a Happy Mother’s Day and I do hope you get to do something special for you! Being a Mother is the best thing ever!
