I walked into my bedroom tonight and found a familiar sight.
A sight that makes me crazy if I spend any time at all thinking about it.
Which is why,
for the sake of my marriage,
I do my best to ignore it.
Tonight it was hard to ignore,
so I started to clean it up,
but then I decided to take pictures of it first.
What is it, you ask?
It is
Blue.
Plastic.
Cups.
Blue, Plastic, Cups?
Yes
Blue. Plastic. Cups.
Blue, plastic, cups
in my bedroom.
Why?
I'll tell you why.
Because my husband is crazy.
I love him,
but
he.
is.
crazy!
These are the cups of water that he brings to bed with him
every
night.
and never throws away.
He doesn't use regular cups.
He's afraid that they don't get clean enough.
So he uses disposable cups.
They don't have to be blue.
He's not that crazy.
Sometimes they are red.
Some are empty
Some are still full.
Some are half full
or
Half empty
Depending on weather your are
an
optimist
or
a
pessimist.
They usually stay confined to his dresser,
but as you can see
they have overflowed
onto the
ironing board.
I shouldn't care,
I don't iron,
But I do have to look at them
and it drives me
crazy.
Is there a name for this disorder?
(I'm sure it's a disorder)
Do you think it can be managed with a pill?
Therapy perhaps?
Maybe we can find some celebrities to do a telethon
to raise awareness
and money,
for research
or at least to help pay for
all
of
the
disposable
CUPS!

I think I'll show this to Frank so he can stop being bugged by my ONE or TWO cups in the room...perfect!
Really, just slap the crap out of him....that ought to do it!
You are too kind mom. Who wouldn't want you as a mother-in-law?!
That is so funny!! My house can be and - usually is in a mess - but if the kitchen scissors arent put away it drives me CRAZY! - and we only have 2 pair. That is alot of cups my friend!
So...I can't drink water from a glass, either. Smoothie? Soda? fine. But I feel like with water, I can TASTE that something's not right, or that if I look down, I'll have floaties in my drink. I know. I am crazy too.
Get Sammy a houseplant (or 3..that's a lot of cups) for valentines day to stick on the night stand and a cute wicker trash can to go next to it. When he's finished with the water, he can pour what's left in the plant, and toss the cup.
Hey...I meant to ask you, did you finish painting your kitchen cabinets? I wanna see pictures.
Tell Sam it looks like he threw a frat party in your bedroom.
meg- all good ideas.
I have not finished my cabinets.
I am a starter not so much a finisher. Someday though. I only finished the island.
He is worried about the cups being clean? Didn't you just get a new dishwasher? I didn't know that Sam was a germ-a-phob. Good luck with all of those cups. I agree that a trash can is a good idea.
