Time : 4:40pm, Thursday
Me: I am home, and I am ready to go on va-ca-shiyon.
Hubs: I am ready...(appears in shirt and shorts and shoes)
After one look at my face,
Hubs: This outfit doesn't go well, right?
Me: (busy packing food stuff for the trip) Um, not so much. But if you are taking it off, please put it back in the suitcase
Scene: Outside our house getting ready to drive
I was sitting in the car, with the seat belt on looking up directions in my cellphone. We had packed enough stuff like we were going on a 3 week vacation instead of a 3 day one. In a rare show of foresight, I had packed dinner for us, snacks to eat on the way, fruits, water. Every time I got back to the car, I would think of something else and off I would go again. Finally after many to and fros we were settled in the car and as mentioned, I was looking at directions. Hubby came to the car, ready to take off.
Suddenly out of nowhere, he unhooks his seat belt and gets out.
Me: What is going on?
Hubs: Forgot something, be right back
And he comes back with this
Me: What's that for?
Hubs: I might need it if some wild animals attack.
I don't sound convinced, so hubs continues...
"I bought it a while back and I want to use it"
Me (giggling) : Not on me, I hope
Hubs: Very funny
We finally think we are ready to roll. And then:
Me: Are both the doors locked?
Hubs: Yeah, I think so, but let me make sure
Me: While you are there, see if the ac is off....and the faucets....and the range
Hubs: (Mumbles something incoherently)
He is back and turns the ignition...
Me (still trying to get directions): Sweetie, the trash can is sitting outside
Hubs: What's the problem with that?
Me: Burglars will know that we are out of town if they see it outside
Hubs: (Makes a face, but goes and puts it and comes back to the seat)
Me: Thanks sweets, but the garage light is on.
Hubs: That will go off automatically when we close the garage door
Me: Um, sweets, it's the tube light and the switch is inside the utility room. We have to manually put it off
Hubs: I need a vacation FROM this vacation.
Me: I am home, and I am ready to go on va-ca-shiyon.

Hahaha!! I remember all the trouble with my last vacation... it sure seemed I'd need a vacation *from* vacation. But it was all worth it!
How is your eyesight? I do hope you're taking all the rest you need... and not spending too much time at the computer! ;)
How weird that our weekends were so similar! Us loading the car was very similiar except that after every trip out with more bags my Hubby would say "Could it be any hotter?, I really think that I am going to have a heatstroke" I hope that you guys had a great time.
How are you feeling?
Hilarious! We have the same problem trying to get out of the house...unfortunately we drive away and then have to drive back...
