Building a House With the One You Love

When you build a house you get to choose stuff Light fixtures, countertops, outlet covers, How many windows go in the living room. We have built three houses, my husband and I. Always a super challenge as We notoriously argue about almost every little thing. Do you like this? No. I hate it. What about that? Gag me with a fork. It is a miracle when we agree on a counter top, or a sink. I let him have a toilet he wanted once. We build in baby steps. More arguments, loud, ridiculous. By the time we are finished, my husband is exhausted And I am triumphant Because I am the mean one.

I have to snicker a bit, because of the truth of it.
