************************
I am subbing today so I am doing the Love Dare and my general randomness all in one...I gotta tell ya it is hard 'tryin' to be funny while 'tryin' to be serious...I hope you will bare with me through the next 40 days...
So I think I have the bathroom signs covered, I am up for anything, hit me with your best shot...
I am subbing for Social Studies-the teacher personally called me and requested me...lets hope I don't let her down...no 4th hour plan BUT that's okay as long as the potties are close I am good...did I mention the the beanie potties have NO doors...that's bad for a sub...
Since I am subbing I will be behind on blog reads...I will catch up...I appreciate your comments...oh and did ya know blogger eff'd up and messed up the follow feature? I lost 15 followers...I want you back...I have to assume I didnt offend 15 peeps straight out...go to your dashboard and click on manage followers double check that you are not following peeps as anon...This is not just me...but other blogs you may follow as well...
************************
How has the Love Dare been going for you? I am holding steady...IT.IS.HARD.WHEN.YOU.GET.NADDA.IN.RETURN...but I am 'hopeful'
Guys,Gals, My Ladies, My Friends...my biggest supporter is lilest bean...she knows whats going on and she is just as excited as I am-we rented a movie for 'daddy'(day 3) and she was as excited for him to get it as I was...today when I asked(day 4)...'can I get you anything?' I was met with 'some tea'...it's a start ya'll and he really doesn't like my tea...BUT my tea rocks...right bestie? right mom?
Today will be my hardest day yet...THE TRUTH HURTS!
Day 5-Love Is Not Rude
He who blesses his friend with a loud voice early in the morning, it will be reckoned a curse to him. --Proverbs 27:14
Dare:
Ask your spouse to tell you three things that cause him or her to be uncomfortable or irritated with you. You must do so without attacking them or justifying your behavior. This is from their perspective only.
I am working all day and Eric is working a double tomorrow-3-11 then 11-7...so I think I will leave a sweet note with this dare in his lunch box-he will undoubtedly think I have lost my mind...I am prepared for that...how are you dealing with day 5?
My confession for today: I still am excited and hopeful to be doing the love dare!
Blogger is apparently syncing with some other program, so it deleted a bunch of followers. Although, I gained a couple yesterday.
ReplyDeleteHow awesome! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you and your family……
Wow! Getting personally asked to subbed! That's a huge compliment!
ReplyDeleteDay 4, I blew it. Is it wrong for me to want to gut him like a fish?
ReplyDeleteI totally blew the call your spouse just to check in today! Mainly because he called me a gzillion times. I will see about Dare 5. I think I already know the answer(s), but we'll see.
ReplyDeleteI did call my hubby today just to check in. But he ended up irritating me. Does that count?
ReplyDeleteI'll try for Day 5 tomorrow.
Have a good day at work!
Ooooh, ask him what annoys him about me and no witty smack down to follow? THAT is a dare!
ReplyDelete(I'll be checking in late tomorrow too...good luck tomorrow....:) )
I lost the dare on day 1. I'll have to start all over. Next week. or next month. I'll see!
ReplyDeleteI'm proud of you though~
♥,Lilly
Not even close to local. ;) Illinois and the great midwest. Thanks for stopping by. I love reading your blog! :)
ReplyDeleteok this is a hard one!!!!!! i will give it a try. i know i do alot of things that just drive him crazy.....but knowing and hearing.....yikes...maybe he could write them down and i could read them to myself!?!??!?!?!haha!!!
ReplyDeletehere we go.....how is the dare working out for you???? i really like it. i am going to have to check out the movie!!!! and maybe check into buying the book!!!!
Ha! I logged on yesterday and I was 2 people heads away from 100 and all of a sudden I lose like 11 people!
ReplyDeleteI started swearing, which I won't do here outta respect, and swearing telling Andy (unlucky enough to be my husband) that I don't know why people always get mad at me and then dump me if I am such a delightful little soandso.
He then said that sometimes, but only SOMETIMES, I was a little too much to take. I can't find Andy either. He disappeared shortly after he said that. Weird.
First of all your tea does ROCK!!!It is the best I've ever had...better than dt.dew...the only problem is that I can't get your tea at the store or on demand...I know you've showed me how to make it like you...BUT it just doesn't taste like yours!!!
ReplyDeleteSecond...St.Faustina's Academy needs a sub...the bathrooms are clearly marked...the kids love you...and you could even take them on a field trip...plus Brown Bean wants to go to there!!!
Third...I am proud of you and support you in this journey. I know it will be hard at times...but you can so do it...Tomorrow is the first day for me.
Love ya,
Bestie
Okie. Every day you post the new dare, I wanna know what the response was from the previous one!!! lol Is that too much to ask? It's cool if it is... ;) I'm awesome at over stepping bounds. Except with peoples hubs... uhm.... now I'm rambling. Awesome. LoL
ReplyDeleteDay 5 will be tomorrow for me, totally don't want to do that one... Can't wait to see how it goes for you.
ReplyDeleteI swear, when I want to do something good, something happens to make it difficult, what's up with that, it ALWAYS happens! lol
You are very brave Georgie.
ReplyDeleteInteresting about the following. I seem to get one, lose two, gain two, lose one. Weird. Thanks
ReplyDeleteGeorgie...your killing me here!
ReplyDeleteThis one will be hard...not the asking...the keeping quiet after wards! Wow...
Good luck with the bathrooms. No doors! That would suck. Also, good luck with the Love Dare. I have the book, just havent started it. Hubby is going out of town for 10 weeks so I will either start it when he leaves (I will still see him most nights) or when he gets home. We'll see.
ReplyDeleteAsking someone what annoys them about you.... oh girl,,, thats tough!
ReplyDeleteHope you get pottys WITH doors!
Aren't you daring?!? Best wishes on your forty days and congrats on being asked to sub. I bet the kids reallllly like you!
ReplyDeleteHey, G! I can save you a trip to my place........I quit! :)
ReplyDeleteHave fun subbing!
OH God Bathrooms without doors - that is a horrible thing! I am your newest follower! Looking forward to coming back for more!
ReplyDeleteI guess I was one of the followers it dropped! No worries- I'm back now! I am so proud of you for continuing your Love Dare. Good for you! I'm rooting for you!
ReplyDeleteBathrooms without doors? That's just wrong! I hope all goes well today while subbing!!
ReplyDeleteI totally admire your ability to stick with the dares and really put yourself out there, even though you're not getting much in return from your husband. I'm struggling still...it's so hard to be nice to someone who can be a complete jerk!! LOL!
OK. I'll do it. But if he comes up with more than 3, THEN can I hit him with the frying pan?
ReplyDeleteAnd blogger is working on some integration program that was the cause of all the losses. They'll get back with us when they feel we deserve it. Lol.
Can't wait to hear about Eric's response to this. If he thinks you have officially lost it or if he embraces it.
ReplyDeleteGood for you Georgie for doing this. Anything that can make a marriage better and stronger. Not that yours is suffering or weak but that marriage it is always a work in progress.
I imagine that he will tell you that you do nothing that makes him feel uncomfortable!
ReplyDeleteI lost some followers too. I can't figure the whole thing out.
ReplyDeleteDoes your hubby know he's supposed to be playing too??
ReplyDeleteAnd I tell mine at least 3 times a day what bugs me....it doesn't help me. But I keep trying.
I'm proud of you. And, thank you for encouraging ME and others to do it with you. I think my husband has noticed a difference.
ReplyDeleteCould be because I read him your blog the other day!?! LOL!
I lost a bunch of followers too. What the hey, Blogger?!
ReplyDeleteI don't have to dare my husband to answer that. He tells me without me asking!
I can't have a loud voice in the mornings huh?
ReplyDeleteHow about the evenings Georgie? I can't give up everything at once you know....:)
Take good care and.......
Steady On

One can only hope that it catches him so off-guard he won't have much to say. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm starting the Love Dares tomorrow. Gonna have to double up one day since I'm starting late. Following Land of Fluff's idea and Love-Daring for Lent season.
Good luck to you. I may chicken out on some of these!
And thanks, girls. I love the honesty in the comments. I get so tired of hearing about people's perfect lives. ha.
wow, I love this. I'm about a day behind as I just found your blog yesterday. Have a great day subbing!
ReplyDeleteI'm confused by this one, Georgie. Does this imply that I should not hang up on my husband when he irritates me on the phone?
ReplyDeleteWhat if I call back right after hanging up and apologize? I think that should still qualify me to be in the running.

It seems to be going really well so far.
ReplyDeleteTelling the internet all my deep dark secrets annoys him. And I can listen without attacking or justifying them. Does that mean I have to change them?
ReplyDeleteI lost a couple of followers too. I thought it was because I haven't been good about posting regular the past couple of weeks. I'm glad to know that I might have lost them by mistake.
