So much to do.........

If you want anything said, ask a man. If you want something done, ask a woman.
Margaret Thatcher
My husband and I have been married for fifteen years. He is my protector and supporter and the absolute love of my life. There is no one in the world with whom I'd rather be. I certainly wouldn't want to be married to someone like me. That being said, why is he so disorganized? My god!!!!!!!!! He gets so excited when he sees a clean surface that he can't wait to put something on it. He could protect me in the fiercest battle but he can't put anthing in it's proper place. Of cource, he would say that "This is where I want it!" It is imperative that I clean drawers, cabinets pretty regularly. The other day (and I'm not making this up) I was cleaning the cabinets in the bathroom. Surprise! Surprise! Surprise! There were six jars of jelly in one of the bathroom cabinets. Now, I do believe in supplying for the future but, supplies only serve you when you can retrieve them!!!!!!!!!!! This is what I'm up against. It requires all of my being to not lift-off into orbit!!!!!!!!!! He gets angry when I organize because he can't find anything. At least if I organize it, someone in the house knows where it is!
I was just going over this with my students about science. There must be order. I can't convince my husband. I hope the students take heed.............at least I can grade them.

Jelly in the under the bathroom sink makes perfect sense to me. Maybe he is using it for facials or moisturizer or for something else entirely....hmmmm maybe you could start putting strange things in unusual places that he looks at everyday. Like, KY jelly where he would normally keep toothpaste or q-tips in the refridgerator or tomato sauce in the shower.
