How weird is this??.. almost the SAME thing happened to me today. I went through two pairs of shoes trying to plant some trees in our yard. What a coincidence!

My wife later told me that it wouldn’t have been quite so hard if I would have planted the trees with the roots DOWN. Sure wish she would have told me that earlier.

long story, and one every wife who has been married for a while can sympathize with. reminds me of the incident in **Little **

**Women **when Meg gets envious of her wealthier friends and buys satin for a new dress “because it was a bargain” and she did not want her friend to think she could not afford it. She found out it wouldn’t launder, the color was not becoming, and the dressmaking would cost more than the fabric. The scene where her husband finally confronts her about her spending is priceless. some things never change, and one of them is that for some reason we wives cannot resist a bargain. Whenever my husband notices I have bought something he doesn’t say anything except “I suppose it was on sale?”
I love that movie!🙂 I cant believe I did not think of that one. :o Guess its more like I have selective memory hey?
You could try the old tears and poor little me trick, honey, I’m so sorry, I should have discussed the landscaping with you first, but the trees were a bargain. I had no idea how hard this would be. Please help me, I’m in way over my head and I don’t see how I can handle this without your help. Lay it on thick, he will probably know what you are doing but will get a big kick out of it.

So sorry Puzzleannie! How did I miss this post?!!

This is too funny and too true.

God must be laughing at us.

I guess so. I just feel so inept lately being a stay at home mom and getting older. I used to do things and they worked out, maybe its a mental thing.🤷

Well I can say that when one gets older sometimes you can’t do things you used to do easily. Can’t really speak from personal experience, but when you see the “old guys” around the rink dragging themselves out hunched over using their wife as a support after a game you can definately see that the body isn’t always going to be what it was.
 
Try saying those three little words that women find so difficult to say:

“I am sorry”

👍

That’s what I was thinking!!! I’ve never had a hard time apolgozing but my DH is the one that has to twist things around so mistakes that he made some how turn out to be my fault.

Also whenever he does something that hurts me, he’ll get MAD! I guess he thinks that if he’s madder than me, then I’ll just forgive him. :confused: He’s much better than he used to be.

Ooh, are we married to the same person? Mine does the same darn thing.
 
CCmo8, you know its tough dealing with reality sometimes, but you are right!
Redtech, Whatevergirl, and Maryb23- and anyone else who cares…

I stayed up late (he was really out like a light) and I wrote him a letter on the computer, then hand wrote it on really nice paper I never use:o (it was a bargian I tell you!😃 ) and put a ribbon around it, put it next to his glasses so he would see it when he woke up. I made him poached eggs on toast with bacon (he loves that) and our “better coffee” we only use on the weekends since we are frugal.:o
He came down the stairs and I told him, I was wrong. I know I should have included you in all this, but I hope you forgive me and we can start over!
He hugged me, and ate his breakfast, (takes him time to wake up)
He had to leave in a hurry this morning so we did not have much time to talk but he said, “I’ll call you when I get a break at work” 🙂
I guess that things are fine. I have some progress on the last hole and should be done today. The boots have a little crack on the right one, but I think they will be okay. I only weigh 118 pounds so I have to put all my body weight back and forth on both sides of the shovel to get it in this clay. I had that clamshell auger, but its too hard to use.
I am going out to finish, put the sprinkler on for the little one and hope to spend at least another half hour digging before taking another CAF break!😃

Thanks for making me cheer up. I dont like it when my husband and I are at odds. He is good to us.
 
I’m so glad things seem to be better. I don’t like it either when my DH and I aren’t right. There’s so much tension in the house. 😦

I know what you mean about digging in clay. When we dug for our roses and when my DH dug for his garden we had to use a pick ax to get through the clay. :rolleyes

I want to plant pumpkins and got the kids some seeds yesterday but that means getting soil ready somewhere in our yard because our garden is full. The woman at Home Depot suggested planting in pots but if DH is willing to get the ground ready, that would be cheaper. I’m sure he was so excited when I told him my pumpkin plans. 😉

I hope your trees grow beautifully! 😃

Thank you for keeping my spirits high!
I hope your pumpkins are the envy of the neighborhood!🙂

*black J- did not mean to ignore you!:o
I was going to tell you to take a hint from MM about how to deal with a thread that is female dominant…😉

But, I do appreciate your good advice!

Always nice to be talked about!! 😉
 
I’ll never forget when we lived in Europe and had lots of roses in the yard…my DH said he was going out to prune the roses and he ended up cutting our rose TREE all the way to the ground. It took two years for that thing to grow back. I still tease him about it.

Long story short, I really messed up. I dont want to get into too many details here, but it involves me thinking I had a great idea, I thought I could pull it off and I am having disaster after disaster along the way. Now, that being said I will be done tomorrow-God willing finishing this project up but,** I feel like I really disrespected my husband by not even consulting him, then when he did tell me to just let the landscapers that sold me the trees to plant the trees, I told him no- I could do it, and then I broke a new pair of New Balance gym shoes from shoveling to dig up the holes for the trees** since I was too stupid to use my combat boots, and to make matters worse I rented (kinda borrowed for cheap) an auger thinking I could figure it out- and could not, and right now he is not yelling or mad at me but really quiet and letting me stew. He was mad this morning when he helped me with one of the holes, and now that one is done, but, I still have another one to do and I know I am not making any sense here at all but I promised to make him his favorite meal tonight but I was not up to it and so I ordered it out from a local place he likes, and I still feel even worse than I did before now. The funny thing is his brother came by today to drop off some stuff I left at their house last week and he offered to just do it for me, and I said no. I did this I should finish. He laughed and said he would come by tomorrow and do it if I changed my mind. I know that would only get my husband even more mad so I cant let him do it. I think I can do this but, even with my combat boots today I am getting a weak spot on the sole and I think it will split tomorrow if I dig. That will be 2 pairs of shoes and he will really get mad then. I know this is sooo trivial compared to the stuff I read here but I love my husband and he is under stress already and I dont like being the cause of any more. He is so tired and sleeping now.
The other idea I had is that landscaper may be in the area, and if I see him I may just pay him to do the last one. It may be the best way. Or, I take my chances and if the boots split, so what. Just dont mention it.
I feel like a slug. Had I only called him before buying the trees. But they were a bargain.😊

Sounds like a control issue. Do you like to do things on your own without assistance?
If it’s not that, it’s stubborn pride. :o
