On the radio the other day (unfortunately Small town Iowa has the crappiest selection EVER) I heard a new country song by KelliePickler. Now although I love country music and was a fan of Kellieon American Idol, I am not so much a fan anymore. Nonetheless, on my 3 minute drive to work I heard this song and laughed aloud. It is all about the neurotic things women think of that would never cross a man's mind.....for instance
1. Do these jeans make my butt look big?
2. That steak is too thick
3. This beer is too cold
4. The carpet clashes with the curtains
5. I need to go shopping
Those are just a few from the song but you get your picture. Now as I am driving and laughing I start realizing how insanely true this song is. Some many things that Cross my Mind in a day wouldn't even come close to crossing my husbands mind. OBVIOUSLY!
1. This kitchen is a mess
2. There is so much laundry to do
3. I really hope he doesn't want sex tonight (see Em's blog for more on this!!)
4. Is that one of the kids crying...I better get up and check
5. I shouldn't eat that pizza it will go straight to my butt
on and on through my daily thoughts that are so far removed from my husbands. I would like to switch brains for a day - just once to know what he thinks. And I believe it would be truly helpful to him to live inside my brain for awhile. Or wouldn't it be useful to have that power that Mel Gibson had in the movie "What a Girl Wants" where he could hear what women were thinking. Granted I would like to pick and choose the times when this power would be effective as I don't want him to know EVERYTHING I think about. I mean I really don't watch HGTV for the decorating tips...I watch it for the HOT guys that are on all the Do it Yourself construction shows!
I would like this power to begin working when I am in a pissy mood and my husband says "What's wrong" and I say "Nothing" which really means something and both of us know it. Then he could turn that power on and hear everything I am thinking. Sometimes it isn't even about him. I am mad at someone else but just taking it out on him.....that would be good! Then he could step in and do something really sweet. Or he may tune in to hear me calling him every name in the book because his lazy ass is sitting on the couch while I am cleaning toilets...that would be bad! But at least he would know right!
Well I better stopping wasting time on the computer and get the dishes done.......(there's another thought that wouldn't cross a man's mind)

Excellent topic!! I would like to add: "I don't have any shoes to go with this outfit." to the list of things that do not cross a man's mind. And: "What should I do for meal plans this week?"
But I never want my spouse to be able to read my mind. No way. Let him keep guessing and I'll tell him if I feel like telling him. And he thinks of things like: "I really need to get the lawn fertilized and put down some crabgrass preventer." and "I need to trim my ear hair." that I do not want to think about.
