Keep in mind that I'm a jerk, I would tape a note to it...

There's always overdramatic ironic/sarcastic hysteria, which works better than the direct approach.
Ms. Footer: Hi honey I'm back! Where's our little lad? Mr. Footer: Hon, (tearfully) he's gone! I -- I forgot the water on your list, and he got dehydrated in this heat. They couldn't bring him back! I tried to reach you on the cell, but I lost the paper that had your number on it! (pounds fist angrily) Why WOULD you leave him with me? You know I can't handle the most basic parenting task! You must be a terrible mother! Ms. Footer: What a fucking loser. I want a divorce. Mr. Footer: Of course! Because I'm such an idiot! Better give me a piece of paper with checkboxes on it for how to do the divorce paperwork! OK, that didn't exactly go like I thought it would. |

Not so bad. It's not like she told when to eat or shit. And if you're getting alot of sex, don't complain.

I liked the last line. The rest can be forgotten I reckon. (unless you forgot to do something lol)
If I had small children, I'd probably leave notes for my Mr.

Thanks to everyone for their input. I wish I had the time to reply to each of your replies, but replies tend to replicate...
I think it is stress and I am working on lesson plans for the fall of 07. Not too far from the truth, since I often come up with refinements to her plans while en route to class. (back when the inch was only a millimeter) Anyway, we are now undergoing the talking cure. We'll see how it goes, already the air is clearer, but marriage is work rather than "all beer and skittles" as I was led to believe. (I hope UT and Jaquelita aren't reading this...) I think the check boxes were an attempt at graphic design.

In the good old days such worrying about trivial things was carefully managed with valium. Mmmm.... valium.

Did you talk to her about it yet? I am curious as to her excuse/reason for it.
