Day 24 - Friday Funny!

It's been a long, emotional week for a multitude of reasons.  I wanted to end it on a happier, funny note.  So here is today's clean joke of the day:

When a woman got married she put a shoebox in the closet and told her husband not to open it. After over 50 years of marriage she was dying and told him to open the box. When he opened it there were 2 doilies and $85,000.00 He ask why this was in the box. She replied “when I got married my mother told me to crochet a doily every time I got mad at you. He smile thinking she was only mad twice and ask what the $85,000.00 was. She replied that's the money from selling the doilies.

 LOL!

Jokes like this are funny yet ring surprisingly true in real life.

Dear Husband and I are getting into the nitty gritty of our kitchen remodel....I can't wait until the planning stage is over and we can get our hands dirty!  I do like remodeling and fixing a place up.  It makes it feel so fresh and clean.

But in the planning stage, the "mad times" seem to be more common than not.  There's a lot of frustration in planning a budget while working in abstracts.  It's harder for some to envision a room and thus a plan than others.  There's a lot of miscommunication that can occur.  Toss into the mix the daily stresses of life, and it's a recipe for a fight.

Like the woman in the joke, I think I would have made a lot of money selling doilies.  Probably enough to do this remodel!  But not every doily would have been justified.

It's hard for me to realize sometimes when my anger is justified and when it's just irrational.  Most times it's the latter.  I do try to figure it out before letting loose on DH but my pause sometimes gets misinterpreted as well.

Ah marriage.  Good communication is a cornerstone of marriage but it is hard to get that sucker put in!

I hope the joke lightens your Friday mood a bit.  And that you don't have any doilies to make this weekend!

Cheers,
