For the most part I have felt Barr and I have had similar views on how to spend money. Financial issues typically don't cause stress in our marriage. Today I was thinking how there are little things that we don't agree on. One is the flower pots on our front porch. He came home one Saturday after taking Brittany to Home Depot and had 2 big clay pots with beautiful flowers in them. He set them just on the edge of our front porch and they look very nice. We have tried flowers and plants there before and they have always died. They get too much sun and I tell him I don't want to have to remember to water them every day. For some reason that one extra thing of things I have to do everyday is just too much. I guess if I felt like it was really important, but we have beautiful blooming bushes all around our front yard. I don't think we need anything else. So of course, this new set of flowers dies, but he's persistant. I guess while he and Brigham were throwing the football around, one of the pots broke. So he actually bought another one and 2 new flowers and now we're doing it again. I noticed today that they flowers are wilting, but did I go and fill up the watering can? No.
Another example is one of our landscape lights that lines the sidewalk is broken. A neighbor tripped on it and the stem cracked. So I went to Home Depot and Lowes trying to replace it but neither store carries it. I called Synda to see where she bought it from and it was Home Depot. So our only option is to order it online for over $100! My vote is just not replace it. I don't care if we're short a light. Who even looks at them anyway? I never do. But Barr thinks it's worth the money. So what do you do?
You go outside and cut your husband's hair since he's waiting for you. That's what you do. At least we both agree that it's not worth paying a barber when I can use the clippers!
