My first Blog

Well well where to begin. I am a bored...let me rephrase that I am avoiding the housework of a stay at home mommy. I play mom to two crazy pugs, Ace and Coco. One crazy lil Man we shall refer to as lil P (17months) and of course the love of my life, Pepper. And yes, that is his real name. I get that a lot. I say I am his mommy too because I really am some days. Now yes I know I agreed to be a stay at home wife/mother but I swear I was not giving an accurate job description. I never realized that when I said I would give up my four, yes four, jobs to stay home that he would interpret that as..."Oh I never need to put my dirty clothes in the hamper again. If I get it in the general area that will do." or "she will put the cap back on that mayo for me" I love my life really I do but in discussing this phenom with my other married friends I've found I am not alone. For some reason in between dating and the retirement years men suddenly seem to become helpless in terms of picking up after themselves. I've asked my perpetually sarcastic husband about his lack of cleaning skills his smart-ass response goes something like this "well, honey I want you to feel needed. " I have yet to determine if he is tyring to be funny or if he may really think that making messes gives me something to do so I feel needed. All in all I've come to the conclusion that God or whatever higher power you choose to believe in has one hell of a sense of hummer. Men and woman's brains function so differently that he actually believes making messes for me to clean up is going to make me happy. HAHAHAH that is funny. But the biggest joke of all is that I do clean his messes and I still love him with all my heart at the end of everyday. Can we have a spouse swap not like the TV version I want his day to day life for a day and he can have mine. Maybe then those dirty clothes will make it to the hamper......well I can dream.
