In Jerry's Words... (Katie's day)


This is Jerry. Katie thought it would be fun for me to write this post. I think this feels like I'm one of those courtroom typing people. From here on out this post will be written in my words and not a dictation. Punctuation and grammar be damned. 

Katie has already told me about her day. And, it's been pretty impressive to say the least. She got up a little after I went to bed. I know this because I can hear her in the bathroom everyday getting ready to go for her morning walk with Joey. And I know she's ready because I hear the clickety-clack of Joey's ridiculous nails on the floors.

After she got back from her walk she threw herself into mom-mode. The kids have been wanting to have quesadillas for lunch so she cooked up 3 pounds of ground turkey for them to be able to have quesadilla's for the next couple months week. 

After cleaning up she saw that the pots and pans were a total mess. To be fair, it seems like we have 3 different pans for each size and they were all thrown into a cupboard. Also, totally my fault because I try to clean everything after dinner (she cooks, I clean), and I made this mess. Don't tell her though. So, she reorganized them and made everything so much easier to find... until I mess it all up again. LOL.

She had completed a couple small but very important tasks. The kids will be starting school in a couple days and Noah had gotten an unfavorable schedule. He was kind of unhappy with the days he was going to be going to school so she emailed the principal to see if there was a way to change his schedule around. 

Also, something that she's a little passionate pissed off about, she had to contact Amazon regarding some questionable ethics regarding one of its sellers. I had recently purchased waterproof phone cases for Eli and I. When opening the packages there was was a card on the inside asking for a 5 star review in exchange for a $10 Amazon gift card. The cases are fine but buying her 5 star review?... eat it.


After this she finished the 2nd walk, the one she always complains about. She found $0.28 so I don't know what she's complaining about... SCORE! She wanted to get it done early because I had the night off work. Nothing sounds better than me, her sexy stud-muffin (her words, not mine), having the day off and us just spending time together watching movies and snuggling on the couch.

I watched Katie scroll through the movies on Netflix, trying to find the perfect movie for us to watch. It reminded me of watching the TV Guide channel scrolling down the screen for hours when I was a kid. We are the total opposite when it comes to movies. She is a total B-movie person and I have to have big-budget action or actors not moonlighting as Uber drivers. She finally settled on the newest episode of Intervention. Who would've guessed?

So, as I'm sitting here writing this we are watching another episode of Friends and she's snapping pics of me, which I'm sure she'll include in this post.


She's cackling in the corner of the couch, almost in tears trying count all my chins in a picture. I must say, I'm surprised she let me do this. She's always giving me shit for the lack of proper english or punctuation on my part. I admittedly suck at it but it shows a lot of love and trust on her part. She's amazing and I love her to death. And, I hope she reads this before she posts the quad-chin photos of me!


Katie here... (As promised to Jerry, I won't comment on the above! Hahaha. Except that he totally skipped out on everything I did between 12 and 8-ish.) I had to include this photo of Jerry's "Circle of Life" moment. There was a mosquito on the ceiling, and Chick LOVES to catch bugs. So, Jerry lifted Chick up to the ceiling to try to catch the mosquito! Hahaha. By the way, I promised not to edit the post that Jerry wrote, so as hard as it is for me, I'm just going to say good night ;)

  9. Omg I have to apologize to my husband for thinking he was the only one who makes a disaster out of the pan / Tupperware storage when he cleans up!! Katie any sanity tips?? Most of the time I prepare myself and allow extra time for re-organization but some days I just snap and make snide remarks.

    1. I don't understand what's so hard about putting the pots and pans in the cupboard in an organized way! It would be so much easier to grab what I need without tons of clanging around and things falling out. I just try to remind myself that I'm grateful that he washes the dishes!

    1. He was being sarcastic, but he forgets that not everybody knows the things we joke about. Also, he skipped everything from about 12-8 PM! hahaha

  12. My daughter moved into a different place & had not yet had time to organize the cabinets. I helped with dishes & realized the full cabinets & being overwhelmed where to put even more pots & pans...I told the 15 year old that I would give him $1 to put those pots & pans away & he did. LOL!

I used to publish ALL comments (even the mean ones) but I recently chose not to publish those. I always welcome constructive comments/criticism, but there is no need for unnecessary rudeness/hate. But please--I love reading what you have to say! (This comment form is super finicky, so I apologize if you're unable to comment)
