Do you guys tease your spouses to the point of making them firin' mad? I'm married to one.
I'd say my spouse is not happy unless he can get a rise out of me at least a few times a year.
Sometimes to the point of me reaching a high boil. And then once I reach that temperture, he sits back smiling like a cheshire cat and watches the show.
I know. I should at least realize this by now and most of the time, I do see it. But, there are always those times that he carries me to the brink.
I broke our rule a few weeks ago. I went to bed mad. Yeah, I did. I must say that we usually don't do this. As most of you guys can tell by my posts, I'm not one to start an argument and I'm usually one to keep the peace. Throw in some humor and hopefully have a smile going when I walk away. I've always done this.
I'm not the revengeful type, I'm one to "get ya back" type with a little trick or two, but nothing mean, just teasing and a practical joke or two.
So, I broke that rule. And the next morning I was off work. I'm off every Friday during the summer. I work 4/10's. And then came rule #2-----we broke it. We always give each other a kiss when leaving for work.
Did I think about it? Not really. I started about my day and decided to clean out closets. Fall cleaning a few months early; spring cleaning a few months late.
Now, the remark that my spouse brought up was that he wanted "change" and of course it went to the teasing of getting a new woman because his was just too sassy, ornery, .....and said that I never let him do anything. Now, all this is what he always teases me about. And I am sassy, and I can get alittle hardheaded. In other words, there are a few times (and he doesn't like it) when I disagree with him. :D And it's not true that he doesn't get to do what he wants. But, sometimes his "wants" don't necessarily meet our needs. Yeah, I'm grinning.
So, he gets me fired up, I tell him he can have his "change" by golly and let's get this ride on the road starting tomorrow! After my rant, I went to bed. The best sleep I had in a while! LOL! No lie.
I'm cleaning our closet out and I have 3 garbage bags full sitting in our garage when he pulls up. When he comes in the door, I'm reading in the recliner. He stands at our kitchen table....waiting(I always acknowledge him with a "Hey dear. How was your day?" or something like this). I look over my book and say, "Yes?" He says, "Uh.....how are you?" I'm confused. It's been hours since I cleaned and I've been reading for a little while.
"I'm fine. Why?" He says with a grin, "There are 3 garbage bags full out in the garage......do they have my clothes in them?" I bursted out laughing and said, "Yep. You wanted "change", I gave you some. Want any more "change" around here? I'm in a GREEN mood."
:D
