WIFE – PLANS AND LISTS

Happy birthday to the woman who organises our life with military precision while insisting she isn’t controlling. You maintain lists, calendars and backup plans for situations I wasn’t aware were happening. When you say, “We need to do something,” experience has taught me that you mean I need to do it while you supervise from a strategically useful position. You ask for my opinion because apparently marriage requires consultation, then patiently explain why my answer is unsuitable. Still, without you we would miss appointments, forget birthdays and probably live entirely on toast. You hold everything together with love, determination and a level of irritation that keeps the household moving. Love you, Wife. What time are we leaving? x
