A Family in Chaos

Ok let me start this Death Wish blog by stating the obvious…..I LOVE MY WIFE, AND IF I TURN UP DEAD TOMORROW, SHE DID IT!!

SHE’s CRAZY!!

One of the tremendous benefits of the Internet is that you can shop at home!! It is much more convenient, and……..quicker??

With the birth of our little Murphie, comes one of the wonderful opportunities that all of you women love…..the chance to purchase birth announcements!!!

With the Internet, it is so EASY! You can pick from THOUSANDS of different designs, and you can participate in the design by selecting from THOUSANDS of photos that have already been taken of your brand new addition!

This Internet is FANTASTIC…..unless you have OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE DISORDER!!!

Jen has been on the computer since first thing this morning working on these, which would be perfectly okay with me except for one small detail…….MY INPUT IS NECESSARY!!

I am sorry! I DO NOT CARE!! They are all pretty, pick one by 9 a.m. And let’s be done!

I know, all of you think Jen is just WONDERFUL!! And I am the luckiest guy I the world! And you are absolutely correct!!! Jen saved my life! She makes me a better person! She makes me laugh, and is the PERFECT wife for me!! HOWEVER……

She has come a LONG way since we first got married! The days are long gone where we stood in the sock department for hours trying to pick out socks for Riley when he was just a year old! She would get just as frustrated at me because I could not grasp the importance of choosing just the right sock!

Now these instances come more and more infrequently, which is a HUGE blessing, because we have discovered that this “disorder” is a genetic trait! While Jen has learned to manage her craziness, Addison is in the midst of FULL BLOWN OCD!!

Apparently, no one on the planet knows the proper way to put socks on Addie, except ME!! I guess Jen never learned the proper way to stretch them out, or position them over the toes properly!?!?

She is 4 years old and has to have “tag less” panties or she is going commando! Her sandwich must be cut the proper way, which happens to change from one sandwich to another! This obviously adds to the difficulty in remaining calm! You would think, that being a recovering OCD sufferer, Jen would be more understanding than me, NOT TRUE! Sometimes it’s like gas on a fire!!

Now you can see why I have title this blog JUST ANOTHER DAY IN PARADISE, and included the subtitle “a family in chaos!” Because our life and our family….we are ALL CRAZY! It is always CHAOS!

AND IT ALWAYS WORKS FOR US!! I LOVE MY CRAZY LIFE!!

BUT PLEASE….IF THERE ARE ANY OF YOU OUT THERE WHO HAVE BEEN SHOPPING WITH MY WIFE, PLEASE COMMENT ON YOUR EXPERIENCES, SO THAT IF I TURN UP DEAD, THE COPS WILL HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE THAT MY WIFE DID IT!!
