Something weird is going on. The hubs is running plays that I can't figure out. Last weekend, he fixed the dishwasher....and I hadn't even complained about it being broken. Then he cleaned the house while the kids and I were out all day Sunday. Tuesday he fixed dinner because I got home late....without me asking him to. This morning he hopped right out of bed when the girls woke up, and let me sleep late. When I got up, he had installed the smoke detector that I've been setting in the middle of the kitchen counter for two years so that he would see it and install it... as opposed to see it and put it back in the closet...which he did every time he saw it...for two years.
I have come up with a list of possible reasons for all of this extra benevolence:
1. He just really loves me. (Hahahahaha)
2. Drugs. I don't know what kind....which ever ones have a "doing household chores" side effect.
3. He's committed a crime and is building up to telling me that we have to join the witness protection program....and move to Kansas....and I'll have to work as a wellhead pumper.
4. The shelves I asked him to hang in November are still 'hanging' out in the floor...NOT on the wall. (Can't complain about that NOW, can I?! Well played, hubs....well played.)
5. I found where he HID the Christmas decorations... as opposed to putting them back in their boxes in the shed.
6. Aliens. I don't have a really specific scenario in mind (I avoid sci-fi as a general rule) but I know they make people do weird stuff.
7. He bought something crazy and expensive and is hiding it in his car until juuuuust the right moment. (He knows big surprise purchases go over with me about as well as accidentally stapling my finger to a stack of papers.)
8. He's going to try and talk me into moving to the Klondike and mining for gold again. Thank you, Discovery Channel, for that awesome hit series, "Gold Rush." NOT.
9. He's hiding money from a bank robbery in the cabinets around the house, so he keeps cleaning and putting stuff away so I won't find it.
10. He is just plain scared of me. This is why:
Sidenote: Notice that NONE of my suspicions involve another female. Why? Because if there's one thing I spend very little time worrying about, it's the hubs putting up with another female in his life. He has a crazy wife and two drama queen daughters - if he were to sneak off and have alone time, it's way more probable that I would find him on a golf course or playing poker than entertaining another broad.
Regardless of his motives (or lack thereof), I believe there's a Benjamin Disraeh quote that is applicable here - "I feel a very unusual sensation - if it is not indigestion, I think it must be gratitude."
****Love you, James...Happy (early) Valentine's Day!****
