Apr. 6, 2006 - Ode to My Husband
Oh, my dear one, the man of my dreams,
This man who thinks so clear.
The one who knows I do not hold laundry dear.
My words of appreciation this post will teem.
Oh, dear one, I profusely give thank thee.
This morning because of the saved time,
The laundry did not consume I have a moment to rhyme.
I am thankful your thoughts were to set me free.
I expressed the need for an additional shower.
You thought of the bathroom situation.
You thought of the family expansion.
You saw the laundry tower.
Oh, one, two washers, one, two dryers!
You knew that two pair of machines our family required.
Now I know you were seriously inspired.
Without them, the situation would be quite dire.
Thank you, dear one, for making my day,
Already filled with the buzz of school
And the clamour of boys who love to be the fool,
Much, much easier with more time to play!
By the way---I know this is a terrible poem. I am not sure my DH wants this post up. He has red ears. snicker
And before two washers and dryers were installed-the laundry was in towers in the laundry room. Laundry is not a half day affair-not a 3 day event.

I love your poem! I also have 2 washers and dryers and I have to fight off my hubby to share them with me. My hubby loves to do the towells and jeans, am I lucky or what. I would not ode to him as I would never live it down, the male ego isn't pretty. He does know how much I love and appreciate all he does for us, just quietly.

Just thought I would ask, what is your belief or feelings about the lost Judas writings? I as a catholic feel that God did have a plan and would expect that, but how could Judas knowingly follow through or why would God keep it hidden all these years as the bible is our inspired guide to life. I just don't think God would keep the writings out of the bible. Judas had great faith in God if he betrayed Jesus knowing that is what he was to do. But why did he kill himself then? I need to read more on this issue to talk intelligently about it. I grew up Jehovahs Wittness and then deciding I knew all, I quit for a while, what a hole in my life. I turned to the Catholic faith 10 yrs ago. Phone is ringing gotta go.
