Professor Wife



Aren't books just beautiful!

 If you can believe it, hubs and I hit the English books again.  Pretty amazing since it's been a full three months since our last attempt.  I must admit though, it was more me than him in the "I don't feel like having class" category.

Yes, hubs is the one who didn't want to return to a formal class.  I didn't really want to force him since I'm his wife, not his mother (although sometimes I think people expect me to act like a mother and force him to do things).  The agreement was that I would teach him English, since I am a literacy volunteer and have taught English to many people before - I figured I could tutor my hubs for free.

The only problem?  Umm, I'm tired after I get home from work and I'd like to relax and do nothing.  Yup, like a lazy bum.  So, although hubs would say - hey, can we have English class on Tuesday - I'd say sure but then when the day rolled around I'd pretend that I forgot and hope he did too.  Yeah, kinda uncool.

Anyway, today we pinkie swore that we were going to have English class and we DID.  Hubsters is not the studious type.  I know that and I don't expect him to change.  However, he's been very amenable to having class just the two of us.  I just haven't had the energy.

However, today, we headed to the basement, broke out the textbooks, and went to work.  I was quite surprised that he remembered so much.  Working at the golf course and interacting all summer with the other employees has made him practice more.  So, that's a good thing.

I was quite happy with our lesson and although we only did one hour - that was enough (plus, I have lots of nutrition studying to do).

Plus, I must admit, I love having the extra time together.  Usually we are both so tired from work that we just eat dinner together and then veg out on the couch (and often on different couches watching different TVs).  Or we head to the gym.  So, this was fun in an educational way.

Boy do I love my hubs!
