I am sleep deprived. Ever since I came back from Malaysia, my body clock has been kind of screwed up. I couldn’t not sleep well at night and even if I did, I woke up 3-4 hours later. I used to suffer from insomnia, and I seriously hope this is not it but just an extension of what supposed to be a temporary jet-lag.
So what did I do when I couldn’t sleep? What better thing to do than getting the house cleaned and staying glued to the computer?! Not to say that Mr K didn’t do a good job when I was away, he really did. Well, at least to a man’s standard he did. But his crazy wife has her crazy standard when comes to house tidiness. It is a wonder that he has not been driven up the wall yet. Though it is sufficient to say I nag him a lot. ‘Put this back to the original place‘, ‘why is the fruit on the wrong shelve of the fridge‘, ‘are you sure you didn’t drop anything on the kitchen floor, it looks dirty‘, ‘I don’t understand how is it so difficult to just put things back to their original place after each use‘, nag nag nag…etc. You get the drill. I run a tight ship around here ler, don’t play play. Poor MR K>.
The thing about man is, they are very good in ‘pretending’ to listen to you, when in fact they are hallucinating or having an out-of-body experience. Then when you confront them about it, they’ll show you the guilty look with their puppy eyes and say ‘sorry lor, I forgot‘. Of course you know they weren’t listening, but the puppy eyes just make it a bit hard to continue nagging don’t you think?! Or is it because I haven’t weathered it long enough to be a nagging wife? You tell me.

Hahaha….I can’t complain too much cos my husband does all the housework and garden. I only clean a bit here and there as and when I feel like it. I do have to remind him sometimes that this needs doing and that needs doing.
I don’t enjoy housework cos the dust makes me feel dirty and I feel like itching.
Good excuse right?

Ey.. my hubby nags more than me leh. So sing with relief that Mr K doesn’t nag at you back!!

So no need to pretend.

Certain habits of my husband are hard to break and that turns me into a nagging wife sometimes. I would like to share what Csaba emailed to me:
A wife was making a breakfast of fried eggs for her husband.
Suddenly, her husband burst into the kitchen.
“Careful,” he said, “CAREFUL! Put in some more butter! Oh my GOD!
You’re cooking too many at once. TOO MANY! Turn them! TURN THEM NOW! We need more butter. Oh my GOD! WHERE are we going to get MORE BUTTER? They’re going to STICK! Careful . CAREFUL! I said be CAREFUL! You NEVER listen to me when you’re cooking! Never! Turn them! Hurry up! Are you CRAZY? Have you LOST your mind? Don’t forget to salt them. You know you always forget to salt them. Use the salt. USE THE SALT! THE SALT!”
The wife stared at him. “What in the world is wrong with you? You think I don’t know how to fry a couple of eggs?”
The husband calmly replied, “I just wanted to show you what it feels like when I’m driving.”

is a guy’s nature
we guys sure will think of anyways to avoid themselves from having trouble with the wife, end up nonstop nag nag nag.
so pretending to listen is better then showing obviously that you are not listening right?:D
