Sometimes my husband drives me crazy.  It is nothing major, it is just all the little things that he forgets to do, even when he was reminded to do it time after time.  One of the things he’s really good at forgetting to do is to take the garbage can out to the street to be picked up.  One time, we had our garbage sitting here for three weeks and the garbage can was overflowing before he remembered to take it out.

This is pretty harmless and actually rather amusing, but there are times when his forgetfulness actually costs us money.  For instance, last year he forgot to buy our exhibition tickets in advance and we ended up paying $40 more than we would have had to if he had just remembered.

It doesn’t help to get angry.  I have learned to take it with a grain of salt, as I know this is just how he is and he is probably not going to change.  I have decided that if it is something important I should just do it myself.  Then we are all happier.
