what my husband does every weekday morning?
1. he snooze the alarm on his phone for three times.
2. watch Fox news for 5-10 minutes before we finally get up.
3. we both fix the side of the bed we sleep-in.
4. brush his teeth while I jump in the shower, he then takes the dirty clothes and my cell phone with him downstairs.
5. he would turn-on the TV, make his coffee and make my sandwich. And on days I have extra 3 minutes to spare, he would pour milk and cereal on my bowl so I can eat before I head out.
6. he takes yuree out to the garage to feed him. And yes, he trims the brown edges off my bread.
7. while I’m going through the pantry/fridge for my snack/lunch, he would then start my car.
8. we bid goodbyes, kiss and the ‘ingat’ atsutsu. and last, he would ask me if I have my ID with me. (this is a prevention of a much serious problem that may arise later on…read: me calling him while driving to check if my ID is in my uniform’s pocket from yesterday. if it is, i‘ll have to make a u-turn to come back or worse if i already drove further enough and I’m running late, he needs to drop it off at my work.)
9. he then takes yuree out for a short walk to do his ‘business’.
10. then he warms his coffee again for the second time and eats his breakfast while watching the news.
11. occasionally, if there’s a pile of laundry, he would load it into the washer and will head upstairs to take his shower.
12. before heading out for work, he then loads the laundry into the dryer. (If this is the case, I’ll fold the clothes when I get home from work while cooking dinner. See, I do some good things too, heck…like ¼ of what he does.)
all this because i’m not a morning person…i am such a mess and grumpy every morning. i would forget things especially my ID card that I need to log-on to my computer. i would always drive a little bit over speed limit (sshhh) to make it right on time. I have to be at work by 0700 and he doesn’t go to work until 0800. his work is just right around the corner too. he doesn’t really have to get up early, but he does…all for the love of MOI!
13. on his lunch break, no more chores here; only one more heroic thing that he does for me…he records the soaps on TFC!!! so when i get home from work (this is before or while cooking dinner and doing the laundry), i can watch the soaps with the luxury of forwarding/rewinding them. (i despise the commercial breaks on TFC, they only have 3 or 4 kinds that they play over and over again on each show. and if i don’t like the actor/s or the scene, i forward it 
).
i adore what he does for me but i do not appreciate it all the time. i always pick a fight with him every time he does the laundry before me. he just can’t stop working/moving around the house. don’t get me wrong, who wouldn’t love to have him as a hubby, huh! but I need to step-up and stop what he’s doing for me, slowly. when? i don’t know. i need to learn how to pick-up myself when the need arises. he’s been doing this ever since. i guess i’m enjoying it as much he enjoys doing it for me, hee. and oh, he cooks more than me. he has more passion on cooking than i do, but i can cook…mekeni yata ini, hee!
so, happy, happy birthday and happy wedding anniversary TUTS!
(i was a full time housemaid during these days, for a change haha).
