The Complicated Wife

I love my husband.

He is amazing to me and he takes care of me. Let me start off by saying that there is nothing in this world that my husband would not do just to make me happy (or to get me to shut up!). I very often times take my husband for granted and believe me when i say that i feel really bad about it. I love him with everything that i got and i sometime fail to recognize that he is my rock.

Through the years we have built wonderful memories and i know that our marriage has grown and we have brought out the BEST in each other. But there is always those little things that will never change that annoy the heck out of you (but love at the same time), and that at that moment you hate... but then later on laugh about it... like this one...

We have been having car troubles for what it seems like forever, and we have been weighing our different options. It was either fix the old car that keeps breaking down... or buy a new car. With the was our finances have been, there was no way we where buying something with wheels on it...... unless it was a bike.

My husband went to a mens dinner and there he was talking to an old friend of ours, who in conversation my husband shared the troubles we have been having with the car. So our friend said "Hey I'm selling some cars you want to buy one? come over and see them...". So after the dinner my husband come home and says...

Husband: Hey guess what? Pete is selling some cars and he said he could hook us up.

Wife: Really? that's great! what kind of cars?

Husband: It think he said a truck, a Volvo and something else...

Wife: Well we know we don't want a truck cause it sucks up way to much gas, but we can sure go for the Volvo.

Husband: yeah

Wife: Are these cars new or old?

Husband: I don't know...he wants us to come by and see them.

Wife: How much are we looking at here?

Husband: I don't know, i can ask when i come to see him...

Wife: Are they automatic?

Husband: I don't know...

Wife: Ok...so did you ask any information about these cars?

Husband: No...we can go over there to look at them...

So if didn't catch my drift i was already irritated by this time. My husband has a habit about NOT asking questions and then gets himself into interesting predicaments.

So i suggest to my husband to pick me up from work on my lunch and we can drive over to meet Pete and talk about the prices, and so I can ask ALL the questions. Before hand we agreed that we did not want a car that sucked up gas or one that was more than 5 years old.

We arrive at the place. Pete greets us, and walks us over to his DEALS....

So then before me stood a 99' F150 (that ate gas like i was going out of style), a 93 Crown Victoria (from an old lady that only drove it to church and i was almost positive they didn't make parking spaces the size of that thing anymore), a 91 Volkswagen Jetta (which was a stick...that i cant drive and it looked like it had been in about 1500 accidents) and and RV (do i need words for this?). So i looked at my husband and said..."I guess we can just live out of the RV!....so where is the Volvo?"

Husband: Oh i guess he said Volkswagen...do you want the truck?

Wife: I smiled and said...why don't we discuss this and we can call him back...

I love him for trying....



I guess I'm just complicated.....
