We were on an extended family trip in Costa Rica from the 16th to the 23rd. Did not get back until late on the 23rd and were hosting wife's family for Christmas. So we had a lot to do.
I have never had more (obvious) instructions in my life. Like 2 seconds before I was about to do something, she would tell me to do it. Or ask about it. Or start correcting what I was in the process of. I was constantly working around house all day on 24th and until we served lunch for Christmas. Which is fine. I like hosting. But she was just wearing me out. I finally told her to pause her mouth at least one minute before asking me to do something. Because I was tired of it and she knows it is a pet peeve of mine for her type A ass to be asking me to do something I am in the process of doing or to be micromanaging how I choose to do something. No, I can fucking thaw out the turkeys and brisket I smoked just fine like I do on a monthly basis at the ranch.
I finally told her if I did not do it within that minute, to go ahead. But I am not an idiot. I know exactly what needs to be done. But lay the fuck off me with instructions or task lists unless and until you see me idle on the couch,.
My speech went over well!
Just kidding, it did not. But we are cool, and I love her.
