Ok.  Here's the senario:  yesterday I spend about an hour making a great dessert for family night, complete with pudding, butter, pecans, whipped cream (four layer delight).   This morning at 6am I walk into the kitchen for coffee and what do I see sitting on the stove?  The wonderful dessert I slaved over yesterday!  That's right!  It was left out  ALL NIGHT!   Who was the last person to get it out of the fridge and fix himself some?  That's right!  The man I love and cherish.  So as I'm standing there this morning looking (with disbelief) at my masterpiece sitting on the stove (at least he had covered it back up), I'm seething and yet trying to have mercy on him because I know it was an accident.

What's a woman to do?  Of course I have to say something.  How else will he learn from his mistakes? Kind of like the time he ripped the door off my car (on accident).  What can you do?  You just deal with it.

So....I put the dessert back in the fridge.   Later I'm going to make him taste it and if it's sour or bad  - I'll have mercy on him - AGAIN!

Have a great day!

although usually it's me who leaves the kitchen, tired, and never returns. Resist the temptation to rub his nose in it. After all, he probably did bring home the money for it. I always think of the stuff my guy puts up with from me, without pointing it out. And remember, cool whip never goes bad--even if it sits in the garage, in summer! ;)

Bless your heart!! I get that same feeling right after I mop the kitchen floor. I go upstairs to do something, come back down not 10 minutes later, and SOMEONE has left muddy foot-shaped outlines across the floor.....Lord, fill me with Your patience and peace, 'cause mine sure ain't hackin' it today!!! LOL Gosh, those are good lesson for us aren't they?

This made me laugh out loud!! I have done this personally and was more mad at myself then I would have been if someone else had done it! I can totally relate though! When I ran into the mail box and knocked out my tail light, my hubby harped on it for quite some time! But, my MIL came to the rescue and picked me up a new tail light from a junk yard and told my husband to leave me alone! I just love it when the MIL turns and is on my side! I haven't heard a word since! Blessings, Kelly
