I read each and every comment, sometimes five times or even more, so I can reconfirm to myself that BY GOD someone somewhere is INDEED reading what I wrote! so thank you for that. My ego just grew three whole sizes. <br /><br />Yes, that Oppostie-ing is quite a phenomenon, isn't it? I just had to coin a word for it because it was driving me batty. So glad that I am not alone in experiencing its upsetting-ness.

I handed my husband the light fixture cover and asked him to rinse it off before I put it back on. He trotted off, and I got down from the ladder to wipe down the front door while I waited for him to come back. He returned, and climbed up the ladder and put the cover on for me since I was still cleaning the door. When I was done, I turned on the light switch and the light didn't work! Wait! This was a new bulb! So I got up on the ladder, thinking maybe he didn't screw in the bulb tight enough. I took the cover off. No bulb. Just the cover.

How can it be empty already? Did you, like, drive to Hawaii or something?!").<br /><br />L, <br /><br />Yes, the first step is acceptance (and giving it the name "Opposite-ing" means it is real). <br /><br />teatimewithmandy,<br /><br />Good God, woman, THREE boys under the age of 5? When is this "tea time" of which you speak? (and I agree, I think you need a beer). My kids are 7 and 5 now, but when they were 4 and 2, my days were *filled* with opposite-ing. It got to the point where I'd think, "Why bother to straighten up the toys, they will only be messy again in 2 seconds."<br /><br />HW, <br /><br />Ohmygosh, he took the cookie dough OUT OF THE TRASH and then it boomeranged back into the freezer and sink and finally got baked? Bwahahaha ha ha ha! I am laughing so hard! that really seems like something that might happen at my house, heaven forbid we should "waste" something. (Shades of me finding jar/ canned food that I had THROWN OUT because it was expired BACK IN THE CUPBOARD courtesy of The Husband : "Expiration date? Honey, that is only a suggestion. Those dates don't really mean anything. The food should be good at least another couple months." Yuck! The kids and I are not going to be the guinea pigs in *that* culinary experiment! He will be eating that lovely meal solo, ha ha).<br /><br />best,<br />MOVMOVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00782183723607923501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8936630222019897817.post-21940982164917240342011-09-14T12:30:54.513-04:002011-09-14T12:30:54.513-04:00This happens here all the time. But with my husban...This happens here all the time. But with my husband he has to take it to the extreme....like...dumpster diving opposite-ing. I throw it away. He thinks we still need it and digs it out of the trash. We played this game with cookie dough I had bought from a fund raiser. I decided it had been in the freezer too long so put it in the trash. I open the freezer the next day and it's back. So I lay it in the sink to defrost, thinking he surely won't want soggy, defrosted cookie dough to be re-frozen; when it is defrosted, I can throw it away (it wasn't good cookie dough; I'd tried some) When I get back from running an errand - I smell cookies baking. Oh yes he did. He was so determined to keep that dough he went to the trouble of baking it. *sigh* <br />I'm glad we are not the only opposite-ing couple out there.HWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09260566913424446132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8936630222019897817.post-6827399717644828852011-09-14T11:32:02.059-04:002011-09-14T11:32:02.059-04:00My husband has been traveling for business all sum...My husband has been traveling for business all summer, so I've been at home with our three boys, ages 5, 2, and 1.
