OY! MEN!

So since the weather has been crap for four days DH and I made a deal.  He has to drive an hour and a half to work everyday so our deal was that we would make the decision together this morning as we watched the weather report as to whether or not he went to work.  I think that`s reasonable.  It`s been insane on the roads.   Well after agreeing that he wouldn`t be an idiot about it,  this morning he gets up walks over to the window and says "YOu can totally see the roads now!"  He is totally serious.  It`s pitch black outside.  You can`t even see the snow on the ground.  There is no light at all.  I call him a liar (affectionately)  and roll my eyes.   Then we go downstairs and I turn on the Weather Network. 

We have the interactive one so I turn on the road conditions and they say clear on the Highways.   So he decides he is going.  I am fine with this.  The weather is supposed to get crappy again so he took my car.  I say to him "Just wait a few minutes so we can see the updated road report.  It`s on in three minutes" 

" I am just going to go.   It`s getting late.  I have to clear off the car." (t`s 6:05 he leaves at 6:30. 

"just wait three minutes! Listen to what the woman on the TV is saying.  She is saying the weather stinks everywhere."

"Fine" waits three minutes "See clear highways.  I am going." 

So he goes upstairs to get a few things to go and I hand him a pair of mitts and hat when he comes downstairs just in time for him to hear the chick on the TV says "  There will be a high in Ottawa of -14 and a windchill of -30" 

Dh pushes away the hat and mitts " It`s fine I am just going to put my hands in my pockets."  Every day at a random time DH has to deposit cheques at various different banks in Ottawa.  He walks.  It takes him over an hour.  He carries a briefcase.  His hands can`t be in his pockets.  I remind him of this "what are you!?  My mother!?"

"apparently I am.  You are being an idiot.  Take the leftover baking to work.  DOn`t forget your lunch.  I love you I will see you later."  He goes to kiss me goodbye,  I say "not until you have your hat and mits on" and he pouts puts them on, kisses me and stomps out the door like a little kid.  Sitting on the coffee table in front of me is the lunch and baking he didn`t want to take.

I bet the hat and mitts stay in the car.  Dork.  Oh well he can freeze.

  • lol.. later when he is whining about his burning hands (thawing out) you can be the one to say "I told you so!!"
  • lmao...this could have so been a convo DH and I have. The few weeks here when the temp was hovering around -50 with a windchill I finally went out and bought DH gloves. Did he wear them? Nope. I reminded him constantly to put them on but he never did. Even pumped gas without them. I will hand it to him though, he never once complained about cold hands (perhaps he knew better) Wink
  • Too funny. Not sure if you have seen this website before but it kills me everytime I read it (it makes me feel like I'm not alone):
