[writing invitation for Impie to come live with me...]

I'm pretty good at getting to them across the house at night too. If I don't get it cleaned up ASAP It is guaranteed that I will find it with my bare feet the next morning.

Even if it is behind furniture.

I have to chase my cat with a can of Spot Shot to the umpteen locations he runs to AS HE'S barfing. One spot is okay, 12? Mommy's patience is tested.

I'm right there with you!

..even the cooking and laundry....and dishes, vacuuming, etc. He is light sleeper and can wake up and get the dog out of the house before it yaks or poops on the floor. Meanwhile, I am DEAD asleep. He says we'd have all dead chickens if he slept hard like me...I don't wake up to the sound of predators outside.

However, if one does manage to yak or poop on the floor, he come and wakes me up softly with a "uh...Honey, sorry to wake you but, would you mind cleaning up the *insert offense here*?" He has the WEAKEST stomach of any man I have ever met. I usually clean up the mess while he hugs porcelain. If I dare said no, I'd be cleaning up both messes.

Though...come to think of it, he has no problem letting a hen (or two) in the house and cleaning up after them (wood floors only here!).

Not sure why that doesn't make him nauseous?

OK. This is one of my pet peeves, invented by women, to make women seem so extraordinary......THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS MULTITASKING....You can only do one thing at a time....Just because I have rice on the stove, laundry in the machine and sitting at the computer, thinking I'm special, I can only do one thing at a time.

Oh, contraire! I can brush my teeth while I comb my hair. I can stir two pots at once. I also do not feel the need to put my pants on one leg at a time. Both at the same time is faster.
And last, I can talk on the phone and do ANYTHING at the same time. (Ranchie will confirm!!)

Mine is standing right here, reading all of this. It's making him late for work.

ETA: Oh and he apologized for sleeping through my fall and fixed the puppy gate (I really thought the gate was a goner).

My husband knows full well he can only concentrate on one thing at a time. He accepts his hatchetness and admires my Swiss army knifeness. You might even say he has knife envy.

You have not lived in the same domicile as small children. Bounce the baby, make lunch for the 4-yr-old, and chat with MIL on the phone at the same time...YES I CAN!

Who cares? Maybe he has personality..and can take a joke.

Shhhhhhh-don't tell mine!

Just kidding-I've been married to him for almost 22 years-I think he's figured out by now, that if you can't laugh at yourself(and in turn, everyone else) when you(or they) do something amusing, he married the wrong chick! I tell on myself WAY more than on him. Gritsar can attest to that!
No worries, it's just not that serious.

By the way, Gritsar-hope you are OK from your spill.
