As I pulled the covers up over me the other night, Joe made this scary announcement:"I'm going commando tonight."
Uh, yeah/no. So I stopped tugging the covers and just looked him with that "What the hell did you just say?" look.
And then explained his weird self. He's had a cold for over a week and has been going to bed under the influence of NyQuil each night to try and get a good night's rest. This was the night he was going cold turkey--cutting himself off the nightly NyQuil addiction. Ohhhhh.
But did he have to use the term "commando"??? Ewwww. I think I whacked him for scaring me like that.
So, while Joe has been sick, I've been extra nice to him. I didn't ask him to wash walls or start the spring cleaning on the weekends. I've been doing the laundry and we've been carrying out dinner a bit more than usual--sparing him kitchen detail. And being the angel I am, I didn't even ask him once to give me a back rub with those germy hands he's got going on there--I'm just caring like that.
I thought it was ironic that while I was in the midst of being so darn thoughtful, Chuck made this photo at Photofunia.com and sent it to me.
Perfect Timing.

What a caring and giving spouse who looks adorable like an angel.
If my hubby said he was going commando tonight, I believe he would have to take his commando-self out on the couch.
Joe is so lucky!
You are such a nice wifey-poo!! You are making me look bad, though. When my hubs gets sick, it's like, "stay away from me!" HAHA!
Love that picture of you....how cute!!!!!
Oh phew. I was worried until your explanation-nevermindddd
Cute pic
Goodness ~ that photo freaked me out a bit until I ready your story. ;)
Happy Wednesday Lin!
xo Catherine
Lin the Angelic. Such a gem.
Cute photo Lin!
Was not sure where Joes thoughts were going with that "Commando" comment. I had visions him in Camouflage PJ's!! Hope Joe is feeling better.
Sick and naked is not a good combination.
Trust me on this.
Glad you got him straightened out on his use of terms.
I thought I was going to be reading a story about Joe sleeping in the nude. With you getting all hot and bothered. Like Duck and Wheel was about to go X-rated. hehehe You tricker!
Joe. All dudes know, or should know, commando is only used in term when referring to going without the panties. ;-)
Oh the photo is just too adorable! You cutesey-poo, you!
Cute! Hope Joe feels better soon! Hey- update us on Grace- hope she's doing OK too!
Isn't that a bow on your arm and a quiver full of arrows on your hip? Someone had better watch out. That's all I'm saying. :)
Verif Word = pigootin
Well, did he sleep well or not?
"Commando" does NOT conjure up a Nyquilless night.
Picture wise - cute, yet Phyllis Diller-ish don't you think?
What a good wife you are, Joe should consider himself very lucky.
Hope he's feeling better soon so he can start working on that list of things to do. I would add on there that your halo should be kept polished at all times. It's the least he could do in return for your kindness during his cold
Hoo boy! I though he was telling you that he was coming to bed "nikid" (is there a smiley for blushing?) I was going to say TMI, TMI!
Highway--It's a good thing that Joe messes up his lingo because I was thinking the same thing. :)
Daisy--I sure hope HE knows it! ;)
A.Marie--I think I did the "stay away from me" too. It's in his best interest not to get me sick!
Helene--Kinda scary there for a minute, eh?
Catherine--WHAT??! You don't like me as an angel?? The hair is sorta weird--I'm with ya on that part.
Vanilla--I'm just too good to be true. ;)
Hot Rocks--Well, camouflage is much better than naked! Thank goodness he gets all mixed up with his lingo.
Betty--No kidding! Whew! I was pretty scared for a minute.
Jodi--Yeah/no. There is rarely smut here at the Duck and Wheel. Wackiness, yes. Smut--no. We angels don't do smut. ;)
Grace--I think it just captures me, don't you think??! (Blech!)
Nancy--I hope he's better too. Nothing worse than a sick husband! Grace is doing MUCH better!! Thanks for asking.
Chuck--Shhhhhh, Chuck! I was hoping nobody noticed!
Pricilla--He did, but poorly. :( Poor Joe. I think he is better today. Gees, I hope so. All that coughing is keeping me awake.
LJ--That's why I looked at him! Joe isn't hip with his lingo--thank god. Yeah--the hair is a bit wacky for an angel, isn't it?
Ann--Yeah, he's got to get started on de-germing this house after his illness! Sheesh.
Sharky--Oh, Sharky, you know better than that. The Duck and Wheel is rated PG! There is never THAT much excitement here. :)
Oh no! Commando implies wiggly jiggly bits, and that is so not ok. lol
Your post had me giggling and then blueviolet's comment had me really giggling! I so needed a pick me up tonight so am glad I visited you!
Violet--And that is why it creeped me out as I was climbing into bed. EEK! A girl needs some warning about that! I'm relieved that he isn't up on his lingo!
Beaded Tail--I'm glad we can help, pally! You are almost to the end of the madness!!! Hooray. :)
HAHHAHAH! You kill me!
commando....cold turkey. Yeah, I can see how he'd mix those two up, especially if he had been under the influence of NyQuil. :) Love the picture--too cute.
peewee--Joe going "commando" was scaring the crap outta me!!! EEEEK!
Faith--Hi, pally! Joe is sorta like Emily Litella--he never really gets his lingo right. And I'm glad he didn't on this occasion! Criminy.
