Dreams vs. Reality

Hubby has a dream. See this plot of land...

In hubby's dream, this plot of land is lush garden. A lush garden full of every vegetable/herb you can imagine.

In this same dream, hubby has a wife who is passionate about gathering all these vegetables and spends hour after hour canning/freezing their harvest.

Then there's a nasty little thing called reality.

In reality, hubby has a wife who cares for two small children 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and has no interest in gardening, or canning, or freezing. Actually, hubby has a wife who prefers ice cream in her freezer, not bags of veggies.

This is hubby's reality...

A single tomato plant, given to him by a friend, that his wife planted for him in this cute little pot.

Not that you needed me to tell you that sometimes reality stinks.

Here's what I'm passionate about. These cute things...

And, in case you were wondering, hubby doesn't think this post is very funny.

I laughed my A_ _ off. I so understand what you are saying. This is why you should move closer, so we can have one we share - work together - and still have our lovelies around with extra caregivers when necessary.
