all about my husband’s stuff

Hello, thanks for stopping by – and a double thank you if you happen to be reading. Yes- my husband has a little bit of a hoarding problem. I do too – but I’ve learned to let go of a lot of things and I stopped accumulating to “fill a hole” in my heart. I’m very aware of what things I buy and I am always letting go of more and more and more. Yes, it’s a challenge, but I’m learning.

My husband is another hoarder in our home but he hasn’t learned how to part with things yet. Especially after his mother died, everything holds even a stronger sentimental value. I can’t seem to EVER make this a beautiful space in this home with him.

Sometimes I wonder who runs this relationship.

Is it me? Or it is my husband?

In a perfect world, NEITHER of us would be “running” our marriage – but ever since I moved back in with him, he seems to be completely helpless without my gentle nudge.

Oh but watch out – I can’t nudge too much – or else I’ll poke the bear and get a completely different version of him that I don’t want to deal with.

He is SOOOO stubborn, he’s like a mule – or better yet: a jackass!

But when he follows my lead, he’s like puddy in my hands.
Some might even say he’s my performing monkey, doing tricks for my praise. Do I want him to get better at performing household honey do’s for me? YES PLEASE, especially when it comes to the stuff he is hoarding.

If he isn’t going to get rid of any of it, I’d at least like him to put it away so the house looks more inviting! Ugh, living here gives me a headache.

Here are the fun lyrics to this SONG VLOG. 🙂

They say, “Oh my God, I see the way you shine
Take your hands, my dear, and place them both in mine”
You know you stopped me dead while I was passing by
And now I beg to see you dance just one more time
Ooh, I see you, see you, see you every time
And oh my, I, I, I like your style
You, you make me, make me, make me wanna cry
And now I beg to see you dance just one more time
So they say
“Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me, oh-oh-oh
I’ve never seen anybody do the things you do before”
They say
“Move for me, move for me, move for me, ayy-ayy-ayy
And when you’re done, I’ll make you do it all again”
I said, “Oh my God, I see you walking by
Take my hands, my dear, and look me in my eyes”
Just like a monkey, I’ve been dancin’ my whole life
But you just beg to see me dance just one more time
Ooh, I see you, see you, see you every time
And oh my, I, I, I like your style
You, you make me, make me, make me wanna cry
And now I beg to see you dance just one more time
So they say
“Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me, oh-oh-oh
I’ve never seen anybody do the things you do before”
They say
“Move for me, move for me, move for me, ayy-ayy-ayy
And when you’re done, I’ll make you do it all again”
They say
“Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
I’ve never seen anybody do the things you do before”
They say
“Move for me, move for me, move for me, ayy-ayy-ayy
And when you’re done, I’ll make you do it all again”
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (do it all again, do it all again, do it all again)
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh (do it all again, do it all again, do it all again)
Whoa-ah, ah-ah!
They say
“Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me, oh-oh-oh
I’ve never seen anybody do the things you do before”
They say
“Move for me, move for me, move for me, ayy-ayy-ayy
And when you’re done, I’ll make you do it all again”
They say
“Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
I’ve never seen anybody do the things you do before”
They say
“Move for me, move for me, move for me, ayy-ayy-ayy
And when you’re done, I’ll make you do it all again”
All again
