Haha, just the title of this blog makes me laugh. This is one of the funny things I wrote in my journal one day when I was feeling overwhelmed with life and decided that a husband would ease my burdens, at least at that moment. I know a man would NOT solve all my problems, and in fact may add to them in some ways...but when I am looking at needing to get my car inspected, pick up the kids, and go to the laundromat in a span of about 2 hours...well, having someone else around would be helpful. So, I made this list!
Before I start, let me also make it clear that I am in fact NOT looking for a husband, haha. I am perfectly capable of doing everything on this list (or working around what I can't do, e.g. going to the laundromat since I can't hook up my washer and dryer). I have been and will continue to do the things on the list, and I will do them well. In fact, my life is so insanely busy right now there really isn't room for a husband (I have a hard time making room for my God!). And before you all start telling me, "Oh! That's when you're husband is going to come, when you aren't looking for him!", you can just stop. I have never been looking for a husband and I have been too busy for one for about 5 years now...and he still hasn't come. I'm thinking, and this is just a thought, that he will come in the LORD's timing...not mine or anyone elses. We'll just have to wait and see if I am right. :)
Oh, and I obviously understand that husband's are more than just people to run errands for you, haha. This list does not include all of the emotional and spiritual desires that a husband would fill. These are simply practical ways that a husband would be beneficial to me. :)
So, now here is the list...
1) Take care of my car...oil changes, inspection, etc.
2) Hook up washer and dryer...or go to the laundromat for me occasionally
3) Pick up the kids and drive them to wherever I am supposed to be taking them
4) Touch up paint from when my church painted my house (including repainting some of the walls)
5) Cook dinner...or at least put the leftovers on a plate for me and microwave them
6) Help carry groceries into the house after a trip to the store
7) Help drive on long road trips
8) Speak (with me or instead of me) at supporting churches!!!
9) Clean the litter box occasionally
10) Go places with me at night (okay, this one I try not to do on my own...but would like to if I ever do have a husband!!)
Since I wrote this in my journal, I have added to the list but I think I'll leave it alone for now. If I'm not careful I will start looking for a husband...well, looking for someone who can do things for me, haha. That would not be good.
Anyway, just wanted to share! Hopefully I'll have something interesting to write soon...don't hold your breath though... :)

You're so funny....:)
love you!
Let's see how this list really looks in my life:
1) Take care of my car...oil changes, inspection, etc..... nope, I do that for him, cause I have the time to wait at the shop.
2) Hook up washer and dryer...or go to the laundromat for me occasionally.... yup, I have no clue.... something about turning the water off and having a bucket to drain the water when unhooking them.
3) Pick up the kids and drive them to wherever I am supposed to be taking them.... I'm not in that phase of life yet, but the carseat is always in my car right now. Actually, right now Ephraim cries if he's alone with Scott! (How sad is that!)
4) Touch up paint from when my church painted my house (including repainting some of the walls)... nope, that's my job, Scott doesn't enjoy painting, but I do.
5) Cook dinner...or at least put the leftovers on a plate for me and microwave them.... somtimes, he usually cleans the dishes for us after dinner though.
6) Help carry groceries into the house after a trip to the store... nope for us there again, I try to do the grocery shopping while at work.
7) Help drive on long road trips.. you got me on that one.
8) Speak (with me or instead of me) at supporting churches!!!.... would have no idea on that one.
9) Clean the litter box occasionally... only when I'm pregnant!
10) Go places with me at night (okay, this one I try not to do on my own...but would like to if I ever do have a husband!!)... but that's what girlfriends are for!
Haha, well Catherine, I will make this into a wishlist for my future husband...if he is willing to do 7 out of 10, I'll take him! :)
Sounds like a plan :) Your post just made me laugh so much, I had to reply :)
I love you!
