How To Pick Your Husband

I think my husband is hysterical. Remember before you were married and your single friends would say things like, "my future husband has to have a good sense of humor." And I'd be like, "what does that have to do with anything?!?" Because mind you, my husband-to-be check off list included important things like:

1. He must be good at math. (check)
2. Be at least six feet tall. (check)
3. That he's handsome...(check, check)

Nothing superficial about those qualities...ahem...

No, it isn't his birthday, I was just reminiscing about the good ol' 80s with two mommies yesterday at soccer practice (aren't I always at soccer practice?) Which then led me to think about my good ol' single days (which really weren't so good) and how being married requires an enormous amount of humor and grace.

Like when we email each other and when I'm stressed out and he says:

"Let me take you for a walk."

to which I respond:

"Is there a dog in this scenario? Am I the dog?"

(Please note: this a quote from one of our favorite movies, "When Harry Met Sally." If you have never seen this movie, watch it, if you've never heard of it, I am way too old for you and you need to find a young mommy blog.)

Anyway, the bottom line, marriage gets crazy and add your kids and your pets and it's not always a party with "Dancing Queen" playing in the background (yes another reference to my age.)

So hopefully you picked a good husband; one with a sense of humor who makes you laugh and sometimes when things get hairy, takes you for a walk.
