Marriage Rule #48: Verify Wife is Aware Her Photo is Being Taken. And Rule #49: That She Looks Good

Never let it be said that I only post attractive pictures of myself on this blog.


The most troubling thing about this photo is not my ass fat squooshing out and trying to attack my sleeping daughter, nor that my neck appears to be feasting on my chin, or that it was only somewhere between 7:30 and 8:15pm [or something, I don't know I was asleep] on a Friday night. Or that my mouth was open. Bonus points for lack of drool.

No.

The disturbing issue is that Mr. Farklepants someone was able to come home from work and enter the house. And then locate their camera. And then take their wife's picture. And then make themselves at home on the couch long before my very confused self awoke and was able to register that he had not been there before the reading of half a dozen -riveting, obviously- Clifford the Dog books put a couple of people to sleep.

Then he uploaded it to the family Flickr account.

Note to Mr. Farklepants: Oh, it's on.

Swirl Girl said...

Can't wait to see what you photograph him doing.

-at least you are dressed in the picture, I think you look great sleeping!

Manic Mommy said...

I don't look that good asleep. I definitely drool.

Bonus points if you were able to move a still-sleeping child to her bed.

I could almost feel sorry for him. Almost.
May I applaud your use of marriage rules that probably a majority of people would subscribe to, while noting that violation of those rules has not, in any way, invalidated anyone else's marriage? (Yeah, I said it.)

well, as someone who was married 19years the first time... I didn't get a copy of these rules. Nor did my ex (whom I laughingly refer to as Little Richard). But I will make sure that the New and Improved Husband is aware of all rules.

PS: You look good sleeping--I look evil. And Major Fatty.

You may want to invest in a small digital keychain camera, or a tripod with a timer. Trust me on this.

Somehow parenthood really changes our expectations of what we want out of a Friday night.

O'Neal (The Woman In Charge Around Here) said...

Your Friday night was way more exciting than mine!

As far as the Mr.? Get em girl!!!

(I have entire videos of the husband sleeping and snoring louder than a freight train! Just for one day, just in case!You never know when you'll need something like that! ;) Heehee!)

Stephanie said...

You get bonus points for posting the picture yourself! You look great, don't let that inner Tootsie tell you otherwise! ;oD

My husband takes pictures of me sleeping using my cell phone and waits for me to find them because he thinks that's funny.

I think husbands can be a tad creepy.

Mr Lady said...

OH, he's BRAVE.

In all our years this is the first time this has ever happened. I don't exactly come through the door quietly when I get home from work.

The whole time I was thinking "did the door slam really not wake her up?"

"Can i really go get my camera, turn it on, and set up the shot without her waking up?"

"Did the shutter really not do it? Fine I will take another angle!"

"Am I really going to get this posted on Flickr before she even knows what happened?"

The look on her face when she finally did wake up was priceless though.

I will probably fall asleep on the couch tomorrow during the afternoon football games but the problem is, I don't really give a shit what I look like sleeping.

Mr. Farklepants, Don't you realize who you are dealing with here?

EatPlayLove said...

wow! Tootsie that's what I would call blogging naked! And Mr. F, damn I would not mess with Mrs.F. even if it was an opportune moment.

Mrs. G. said...

I expect shower shots of Mr. Farklepants by next week.

bernthis said...

I'm a single mom and I thought I was the only rock star with big Friday night plans. I was home this weekend on Friday night baking banana bread for my kids culture day at her elementary school. Wahoo!!! as they say.

Angie said...

Ha! Came over from Mrs. G's place - love your blog.

I agree with everyone else - paybacks are hell!!

I will be back often.

Melanie Sheridan said...

Mr. F, sleep with one eye open. This is gonna be good.

Michelle Fluttering Butterflies said...

Ha! My husband has taken at least two similar photos. I would have never dreamt of posting them! And I totally looked worse asleep than you do!

Womandriver2@gmail.com said...

LOL Payback! It's so easy to get payback on husbands... the quickly forget little things like this. Enjoy your blog.

Passages to the Past said...

Heehee....I think you and your daughter look adorable!

Passages to the Past said...

At least you don't have your hands down your pants =)

But your little girl looks totally cute laying there. Like she just collapsed onto the couch.

Anonymous said...

Ha, that is so darn good! And kinda scary.

I was going to take a video of my hubs snoring on the couch (he denies that he does), but the darn batteries were dead.
