It’s that time of year where I play the role of a dutiful wife. I only do for my husband once a year so I should be a bit more easygoing about it. But I cannot even pretend to enjoy it because I dislike it so much.

There is nothing about it that I like. It’s dirty, smells awful, and there is nothing about it that interests me. In fact, when I was newly pregnant with my oldest daughter, it made me wretch. My husband, on the other hand, loves it. As we move towards it, he can barely contain his enthusiasm. His exhilaration is written all over his face which, at least, makes me pleased that I gave my annual consent.

Of course, I am talking about my yearly spring trip to Home Depot with my husband. Do you feel the same? What sacrifices do you make for your spouse?
