Best “Laid” Plans
Posted under Wife by Mike
The night was set for romance. Our daughters all had other commitments, and we would not see hide nor hair of them until the next day. The expectations were high.
Two weeks is long without alone time with “the wife.”
Drinks at a bar, dinner at a romantic restaurant, conversation with an adult, these were the beginnings of a magical evening. After dinner, a stroll around the island and a short nightcap before heading home for a much anticipated romantic rendezvous.
Sounds like a fabulous night, huh? Would have been great if that had been how it worked out. BUT Nooo…
Phone rings, “Honey, change of plans.”
In my head I’m thinking, “Great, what now?”
“Princess needs a ride to a friend’s house and by the way, it’s that time of the month. When I get home lets just head to the mall; I need new bras and you need a new pair of jeans.”
Terrific.
So instead of that romantic drinks, dinner and stroll around the island, as well as the nightcap and…
We ended up with roast beef sandwiches, sodas and a small bag of Sees candies for dessert. That and along with a cast of hundreds shopping for bargains, our night was definitely not as planned.
Awww…poor thing. Well, at least you got some new jeans out of it. And thank God your wife was with you when you bought them; I can’t stand it when men wear the same jeans they’ve been wearing since 1980’s (same pair, not just the same style). Mr.4444 also wears his old jeans until they have holes in them in places jeans should not have holes (I have to slowly sneak them out of his consciousness…

I’d bet, 8 of 12 of our anniversaries have been spent with Aunt Flo.
Sounds like that bag of frozen peas could still come in handy. Life always seems to get in the way of plans.

I dated someone once and a big date out was to Home Depot. Granted, it didn’t last very long

Oh, we were at Home Depot the next AM (again, still without the girls underfoot). Such exciting lives we lead.
@Half-Past Kissin’ Time: Obviously this was not about the jeans. I think Victoria’s Secret would have been a better choice..
@OhCaptain: No Aunt Flo’s allowed in my house…
@Weaselmomma: Ouch, frozen peas after all these years. Not a good idea. Usually its the kids getting in the way not us getting in our own way..
@stepping over the junk: At least he would have been your fix it guy…
OH!!! Man, I’m hurting for you!!! I have “the Mirena.” Tell the wife to get that. “That time of the month” has not visited me in 14 months. Too bad The Husband and I are separated. You need that kind of schedule, eh??? Anyhow, sorry for your plans. Hope things got better………………………….

@KT: Thanks for the bra advise. She found what she was looking for and I ended up with Levi’s jeans. We wil eventually get the time together soon, or else….
She’s just saving it up for when you least expect it!!!
Dont forget teasing you with the purchasing of new bras when you want/cant touch her. Amazing how at times men & women are not on the same page.

Even worst if you have three young kids around. Then you can’t even get rid of them.

Well think of it this way…. at least you did not spend a ton of $$ on drinks in hopes you would get might actually get the big olive.
My poor husband fills me full of liquor and then his window of opportunity shrinks smaller and smaller…
After a couple drinks, I generally go from horney to snoring in 2.3 seconds and in that 2.3 seconds sometimes a bit of pissyness gets thrown in.
