I have a list, it's not a particualriy long list, the jobs on it aren't really that hard to do. Infact I could probably do most of them myself if I really put my mind to it but this is not my list, this is Daddy's list. The same list that has been stuck up on the wall in his office for quite some time now, with nothing scrubbed out or ticked off. This upsets me.
I like lists, it's a simple way of organising your day to day activities without forgetting anything or getting sidetracked by other things (dam you Pinterest).
So as I said Daddy's list has been sitting there for a longer than I can cope with, even my moving it around the room in the vain hope that he might notice it again, has failed. So instead of continually nagging him about said list, I have written him a new one. We'll see how fast things start to get ticked off now.
Daddy’s to do list
1)
Fix the windscreen on my car. The small crack
has now spread from the top to the bottom. If you don’t then just be warned
that after we die (from the car crash that we will inevitably have because of the cracked winscreen) I shall
haunt you everyday for the rest of your life!
2)
Put up Lj’s new curtain pole in her bedroom, if
you don’t I shall just have to find a new place to shove it. Somewhere that
the sun doesn’t shine perhaps?
3)
Take the handrail off the wall in the en-suite. If you don’t and I
hit my elbow on it one more time then I might just cry (full on , snot running
down my face crying) and we all know that nothing makes a man more
uncomfortable than a crying woman.
4)
Cut the grass, I don’t want to have to send out
a search party everytime the toddler goes out there! I could, of cause, do this myself but this is
a mans job, as is taking out the rubbish, washing the cars and fixing broken
things.
5)
Sort out the timer on the water heater. If the
kids have to have one more cold bath I think they may get hypothermia. I’m
pretty sure that the kids lips turning blue is a bad sign.
Love your adoring and slightly mad other half x
Lol, that's hilarious! Why is it that we just can't take out the rubbish, do you think? I nag Actually Daddy about it for so long each week that I could have done it myself in half the time, but as you say - it's a man's job!
ReplyDeleteI'm popping this into the BritMums Newbie Tuesday later on
Do you take even a tiny bit of comfort in the knowledge that everyone has a very out-of-date to-do list that is permanently pinned (or surgically implanted) about the daddy's person?!
