Happy Anniversary!




Im the type who never puts the cap back on the toothpaste, wipes the fog off my window shield with my hand, the only place I ever show up on time is court and thats because jail scares me, and believe letting my kids eat cake for breakfast makes me the best Mom in the world!

My husband, on the other hand well, lets say is a little more rule-oriented.

I recently found out he has folders at his office with all our childrens names on them, and in them places their extracurricular schedules, their grades and all the print outs their teachers send us. (I call them the when I divorce Angel I am so going to win custody files.) He shows up for everything exactly on time, remembers everybodys name, and his side of the closet looks like a picture out of a Brooks Brothers catalogue with everything perfectly lined up and color-coordinated.

Another quirk of mine is I have complete memory loss of certain things, and other things I never forget.

For instance, if you ever wrong me, I will remember that day for the rest of my days, down to the clothes you were wearing on that fateful day I made a mental note to ruin your life.

But pretty much, everything else, I forget.

I dont remember where we vacationed last year or with whom, can never find my phone (ever!!!) and names always escape me! And since I cant remember names when trying to tell a story its goes something like this:

You remember her, she is that bad mother, is it Kathy or Kelly or Kristi??

Your smelly friend, you know whats his name.

You remember, that guy you went to college with that robbed a gas station, it starts with an R or S?

So, getting back to our anniversary this past weekend I can never remember if we were married on November 17 or 19. Ive got it down to these two days which I think is HUGE accomplishment on my part, but Brody, well he doesnt like that I can never remember.

This year, however, I received a text from my maid of honor on November 16 at 9 p.m. Congratulations on your 17th anniversary cant believe you guys have been married that long. Hope to see you at Thanksgiving. Love you, Maggie

BINGO!

My anniversary was the next day the 17th!

So on November 17 I woke up and was the first one to say Happy Anniversary!! – and all day Thursday went on and on about our being married for so many years, and telling people it was our 17-year anniversary.

So on November 17 after not receiving flowers, a card and most importantly an amazingly, expensive gift around 8 p.m., I said So, you got me nothing on our Anniversary??

To which my husband responded Its the 19th but dont bother getting me anything its been present enough watching you be a fool all day long!

And to many more
