a few simple steps:
1) come home from a day of working with teenagers and answering too many questions
2) spy your husband sitting ensconced on the couch with the cats watching football
3) field the infamous "what's for dinner" question
4) open refrigerator door to see all sorts of leftovers
5) suggest you heat up tuna noodle casserole from friday night
6) be subsequently informed that your new recipe for tuna casserole sucked and he won't be eating the rest of it anytime soon
7) suggest the rest of the manwich you made last night
8) further informed that "i had that for lunch" - you mean you actually made yourself something to eat? ALL BY YOURSELF?!?!
9) in desperation fall back on hamburgers and FF - perfect sunday supper food
10) just as you are about to go out to heat up grill, it starts to pour down rain
11) debate about standing in rain to grill burgers
12) decide to go ahead with grilling as by now, you've wasted too much time and are getting exasperated, quite audible sighs from the vicinity of the living room
13) heat up grill, get out hamburgers, start slicing tomatoes and onions
14) simultaneously he leaves the couch to check fantasy football scores and you put hamburgers on grill
15) you sneak in to grab a few seconds of TV time
16) turn to TLC to watch about the worlds smallest people
17) become enthralled with the wee people and forget about hamburgers
18) hamburgers accordingly become severely flamebroiled
19) thinking quickly on your feet, you add double layer of cheese
20) this does not disguise the crispiness of the burgers
21) the grand master does not deign to eat crispy burgers
22) the UNGRATEFUL SOB throws the poor pathetic burgers out in the yard for the raccoons
23) get 5 minute lecture about the prudency cleaning grill before cooking. according to him he ALWAYS clean the grill (the whole THREE times he's done the grilling this summer)
24) suggest vehemently that perhaps HE should have made the burgers and flounce off upstairs to write mad post about the ungratefulness of husbands
25) while writing this very post hear him furiously scrubbing the grill in preparation to make his own burgers
26 - MISSION ACCOMPLISHED - sucker!!!
QUESTION – do you think it would be the height of folly to ask if he made ME a hamburger?!!?!?

Did you get a hamburger too?
Stumbled upon your blog through Beths and had to come check out the new space too after reading the old one.....hilarious stuff on there.
Love this blog....I'm going to have to give that a try.
Yeah did you get a hamburger?
hope you got a burger after all that.
don't you worry, i'm not going anywhere for long...thanks for being patient with me and sticking around despite my lack of material these days. at least i still have one faithful reader. :)
and i love the new digs! i've been playing with an new site, too. trying to get up the nerve to switch...maybe i'll switch it up when i get back. nothing like a fresh start to inspire good writing, right?
My reply to that question is standard: "I don't know- what were you planning to make?" The boys have learned that Mama doesn't cook unless she's starving & no one has anything on their plate that she likes.
