Like Karin said, I know you’re writing this to be funny, but brother you (and all men everywhere) should learn how to cook. Watch Emeril and Alton Brown and they will lead you to the promised land.

This was hilarious! My husband does really well taking care of 3 kids (all under 4 yrs. old & the youngest is a newborn) by himself while I get a few hours away. He's a real keeper! Sounds like you are a pretty good dad & husband, too.

Thanks for making me laugh!

Trey—-the difference with Ned and I is that we see things differently. For instance “clean”. He calls a house clean if the laundry is all in one big pile rather than sorted into several piles. He thinks the kitchen is clean when all the dirty dishes are in the living room. And I think he likes the “pretty towels” because they give him permission to dry his hands on his pants. He does however make me scrumptious food and try to take really good care of me. He makes me laugh and makes me feel loved so the rest is just the “bones in the chicken”.

Blessings

hope Connor is feeling better

I’m so sorry that your weekend plans have changed! Here’s hoping it improves and Lea comes home to a clean house!

I have this odd habit having to drink milk from a coffee cup but my diet Pepsi from the bottle, never a can or a two liter bottle, but a half gallon one.

Newlywed bliss…

My husband cleans the kitchen every night, vacuums, makes the bed, and because he is obsessed with the lawn, I’m not allowed to do much more than bring him Pepsi One!

I’ll let you know how it’s going after this first year!!!

Sorry about Connor…even though there are no kids at my house, I hope the husband deals with sickness better than I!

Hmmm. Kyle does really well by himself. He has a whole day at home with Noah without me every week (yay for him having Mondays off), and I’ve never come home to a house that isin more chaos than it was in when I left it.

Maybe I just got a really, really talented husband!

We all have our special talents…

I feel your pain! When Janice goes to Alabama for a week, I HATE it. But I am also very grateful that she can still visit with her mama, so the psycho-pup and I have some quality time during that week. And I drink from the carton at all times because she doesn’t drink milk and the kids are grown and gone.

Hopefully no one reads your blog that hangs out at my house but I love Rule #3!

Go Green – drink from the carton!

you are so funny Tucker and so accurate!

Maria – 

Tucker … too funny. I had a friend who swore up and down that right after marriage he ruined a load of clothes on purpose by mixing all the colors together.

He said it worked perfect, “My wife never asked me to do laundry again.”

Karin – You’re right … Dads are pretty amazing too.

Karin, it’s a conspiracy! Men can do just fine, but we would rather eat and drink and watch tv in the house. Trust me, leave a man in the house without a woman for a month and things will be just fine, until 24 hrs before her return.

I know, your post is supposed to be lighthearted and funny and not meant to be taken so seriously ~ but, I really don’t understand why even men have to put themselves down as though they are totally inept and can’t possibly do what a woman can do and the whole house falls apart when wifey is away. I also hate commercials along those lines. Maybe it was because of the couple dynamic I witnessed at home and the pain it caused. I need to go and see a therapist, lol!

Trey,
Don't you know that women know "the Secrets"? First, there are reasons why they don't let you use those little fancy soaps...they make you sick, ie. Connor. Couple that with drinking straight from the carton and you are lucky it wasn't coming out both ends.

As for the toilet seat, they should remain in the upright position, it has been proven to be more sanitary as gravity allows germs to fall to the bottom of the seat. I point that out to many women.

FYI, I have learned a little trick...help the boys destroy the house, and she will be mighty reluctant to leave again. (Spill Coke on the floor and leave it, that puts them over the edge) She will find it safer to take all of you with her!

Good luck, I am sure you will survive.

Thanks Trey, moms are indispensable (grin).
I was at Walmart the other day and I overhead another mom while on her cell telling her panicing hubby to calm down and that she would be home soon! He was home with their new born baby and was freaking out cause the baby started crying. I so can relate to this woman!

And double Wow, Lea went on a Women of Faith Confrenece!!! I have always wanted to go to one of those! I am totally tickled pink for her! She so totally deserves it!

BTW Trey, this too shall pass, lol!! If things get really bad, just slip a bit of NyQuil into their cereal !

Moms Rule!!Maria
