7 Things Catholic Wives Say to Their Hubby- 7QTF

Here we go quick takes, here we go! Here we go quick takes... Sorry! Have that organ music embedded in my noggin'. I was thrilled that after just an awful last few days at work, complete with especially high stress levels, I was able to attend two baseball games this week, one with Boo, my 5 year-old, and one with J-Man, my 3 year-old. One thing I NEVER thought my most awesome Catholic wifey of the year would say was, "Yes" to attending back to back games and keep our Pre-K'rs out late. Her almost 24 week pregger self rotated the home duty between Boo and JMan and with our Squish, our almost 2 year old.

Have I ever mentioned I love baseball? Two nights in a row? Un-freakin' believable! I was in baseball paradise. I was awfully proud of Boo. He made it all the way to the 9th inning, stayed interested. We took a 2 inning break and colored pictures of the team mascot together. Needless to say it's been a lot of late nights, and I'm very overtired. Just so y'all out there know. I'm just a bit WWL (writing while loopy.)

So here's 7 things those Catholic wifeys of the year just may say to their Catholic hubbys.

- 1 -

"Hey, hun, I need you to pick up some milk, bananas, bread, pregnancy test, juice, paper towels..." Wait, what? Again? Pink box? Gold stripe box? Two or one box?

- 2 -

"It's Peak Day!" for those of us looking forward to # whatever we're on, or for those guys out there that need just a little break from the 9 month cycle, the sometimes preferred words might be, "It's low time." Oh yeah! Guys, c'mon now pay attention! I didn't say low tide... put the tackle box away.

- 3 -

"Sure you can watch the game, or play your video game, work in the garage/yard or do your man stuff/cave thing while I go... (insert various wifeyism here that all the moms want to have time to do like: shopping without herding children, reading quietly, eating a whole meal, taking a bath, going to the gym or for a walk, engaging in their favorite hobby.)" Hey, kids quiet down... you're being loud ... oh you clever clever woman you...

- 4 -

"So I volunteered you/us for this thing at the Church..." They should make a movie about this one, entitled, "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way Outta Mass."

- 5 -

"Which family member is on the block this time for date night home base management?" Ooh Ooh pick me! Pick me! Banana? Bapple?

- 6 -

"Say hunny, do you think this skirt/dress modest enough?" To which hubby quickly refers back to what was said during #2 above, weighing options which may lead to #1 above, because wifey is so gosh darn gorgeous, and now she's all dressed up on top of it.

A sweet sentimental, "I'm praying for you." I need prayer. Men need prayer. All jesting aside, ladies, there ain't nothing more wonderful, nothing more respectful, nothing more comforting than knowing you're praying for us. It means you're thinking about us, that you love us, and that we're important enough for you to take the time to ask God to step in and be with us, even when you can't. Steph does this for me, and undoubtedly, it's one of the best things our gals can do for us. She is one of the silent types, those "Oh, well I just have a day left on the novena I was saying for you," kinda girls. Sends a few butterflies to the ol' stomach. And I guarantee you ladies, with your men, telling them you're praying for them is a guaranteed home run every time.
