Has Anyone Seen My Husband?

My husband has been missing for months now! Has anyone seen him? His belongings are still here and I smell his aftershave everyday, yet I still don't see him. However, if I go to church on Sunday or cook up some food he appears from where he has been.

Okay, so he really hasn't disappeared. For months however, he has been consumed with his obsessive compulsive behavior. He has been glued to his computer looking up all of the things he has been collecting for longer than I have been alive.

He often asks if I will tally up the value of these things like artifacts, stamps and coins. I always respond "yes." That should be really easy considering he is always arranging and re-arranging them. His job will never be done. HA! I also ask him," What's the point? Those things are your hobbies and you will never sell them."

Nonetheless, I could have company, start a fire or any other thing going on and he would never notice. He is glued to that computer whenever he is not at work, eating or sleeping. Don't misunderstand me, I love my quiet time and have no problem with his latest behavior, yet I found it quite amusing when one of my son's and grandson came over to visit the other day and I got all the attention because my husband just thought he heard voices outside. Hmmm, maybe we should call a shrink.

Last night was a little different because we got to babysit our three year old and one week old grandson. Of course I did have to tell him what time at least four different times that they were going to be here.

It is obvious that I don't really need anyone to tell me if they have seen him and I do know where to find him. I just find it cute to see him ooh and awe over his toys just as a little boy would do.

To my husband should you decide to visit, "I love you and you are the best!"

Hi Michelle,
 
I only have a moment so I must write quickly... I don't know how much longer it will be before "they" come. But, it is obvious that this might be one of my only moments to get a message out to you.
 
First, I want you to take courage, I believe I have found a way to escape the clutches of my captors. When the time is just right I'm going to make a run for it. God willing, I shall be free from this captivity and home to stay.
 
Loving you always,
 
Your estranged husband, Mark
 
P.S. cute article.

Don't worry, I don't plan on breaking anymore bones. It is not fun. As for Mark? I will play as much as I can get away with. Must be the Irish Imp in me. Hehe
 
Much love, hugs and blessings

Thanks Mom!
 
However, you know as well as I do that I have my own quirks. It is just more fun to be able to have fun with them instead of getting so serious.
 
Love, love and more love,
Michelle

Great article Michelle, it was funny, and witty, and you know, women are like that, they have a way of expressing how they feel with a great and wonderful sense of humor, even a smile. I really don't have any toys to speak of, although I love to read and write, tha is my passion, as well as performing or acting to a live audience, but I do love to spend time with my wife, but our situation is a little different than yours, she is hooked on computer games, sometimes it is hard to pry her away from them, sometimes I go in my office, and say "Pay attention to me", lol, and she does of course, but us men, will be men, that is whay you love us so.....Great article and written with a great sense of humor!! Your friend in pen.....Gary

Thank you Gary,
 
I just tipped the iceburg with what I wrote. Mark also loves his old books and reading, writing and all that goes with it. I on the other hand enjoy singing and performing as you do. I guess I am an attention junkie!
 
God bless,
Michelle

Michelle, I thought he was in the hammock!

This is too cute. I confess not knowing you had submitted this article when I answered you (or you may not have seen in) in the twitter-like updates on the homepage.

A man and his toys. . . I enjoyed this playful and loving exchange between you and your hubby. God bless you both!
