So. My husband tells me this morning, "I might need you to bring my white coats to the cleaners today. The one is hanging on the door with your aprons. Where's the other one?"
"Honey, the other one is in the coat closet. And, by the way, I want to help you out, but 'might' isn't very clear. Do you want me to take them to the cleaners or not?"
He said the same thing to me last week, but never said one way or the other. Do you want me to take the dern things to the cleaners or don't you? Geesh! Just say, "Sarah, will you take my uniforms to the cleaners today?"
So the weather is absolute crap again today . . . and I have to go out in it to the cleaners. Squirrel Boy is feeling under the weather and is home from school today. I have a mound of laundry to do. I am attending Mass and a social at church tonight.
I guess I better get crackin' as there are only so many hours in a day. And I need some coffee. Now.

Well when my husband tells me something, he is usually very direct. He would never say I may need you, he would say I need you to do xyz. I think if any man really wants something done, he needs to say, I need not I may need.
Tell him I said so too.
Thank you. He words things like I have a choice. He does this with the kids, too. Primarily, he will say, "Squirrel Boy, do you think you should do some of your math?" Instead of: "Before you can do anything else, you must do your math now." Direct. But, see, he thinks he's being direct. Ach! I've learned to decipher his "speak" so I have to come up after him and tell the kids specifically what he means. It drives me a bit batty! This is why I gently, mind you, asked him to tell me explicitely what he wanted me to do. He fessed up in the end and that's what counts.
I'm "training" him. HA!
funny - b/c i would think it'd be the woman who'd be non-direct. My dh would tell me one way or the other... *i* on the other hand would say something like "might"... LOL
so, if *i* were you i'd just take 'em to the cleaners.
My hubby does the same thing, he never wants to put me out...It's my job, right? Just tell me!!
Aren't our hubbies cute?
Take the dern jackets to the cleaners!
Oh, yeah, love the stars!!
Too funny! The weather is wishy-washy again here...makes me so sleepy. What kind of job does your husband do that he wears white coats? I ask because my hubby is a chef and wears white jackets as well.
Just be glad you get at least a vague notification. Apparently, my husband thinks I have the gift of ESP or that I am able to suck his thoughts out of his brain by osmosis!
Here's hoping your little on "under the weather" gets better soon and that the sun comes out!!!
Shelly - I am going to take them to the cleaners in just a few moments. Got caught up in watching August Rush (first time - love it!). It's rare that a film comes along and I like it.
Jamie - yes, love my man. I am going to take them.
Carmalitemom - United States Navy
Nancy - oh, my hubs does this one: he'll say "I told you two weeks ago about 'such and such'" and he sure.did.not. Not at all! So, I am running like hell to get something done, get ready, or make plans that I didn't know I had to make and two weeks notice would have been brilliant!
ooh, haven't seen August Rush... but had heard it was good. May have to get ahold of that one...
My husband does the same thing ~ sometimes he's just toooo nice. Still, as nice as directness might be, but I don't think I'd trade it for his kind ways... Sounds like your husband is a dear like mine. We're lucky girls.
