Just when you think you actually have it all under control

something happens that makes you realise you need your OH.

Crashed my car today. I was determined not to drag DH out os his classroom, so handled the recovery of the car, scoured the house for the documents and then realised I had no current MOT. So in a panic rang school to leave a message for him. And then blubbed when he rang back. He came home (on his pushbike ) and held my hand at the police station. Now he's out buying me tampons because I can't face going out.

And I've been getting restorative cuddles from the children too.

I don't think I'm cut out to be an island after all.

Aww that's nice. Unfortunately I have spent so much time relying on myself that I am now incapable of relying on someone else.

Well that's the point brahms. I sort of thought i could handle everything independently. I think it's admirable to be self-sufficient.

And he bought me flowers. A 'sorry you are so upset about crashing our car' flowers

Aw. He sounds lovely.

My DH would have come home too if he could. Can't see him buying tampons though! Or flowers. He would have cooked a nice meal and poured me wine.

Oh I poured my own wine buda! Some times a woman just has to stand on her own two feet

You managed to pour the wine for goodness sake, what more control do you need???

TubbyDuffs · 24/03/2010 13:42
