First Shalee copied Chilihead, and Shalee said friends copy friends. So I have to share a funny from last night.
To understand this joke:
1. Hubby and I have never been divorced.
2. I am eleven months OLDER than my husand.
Last night we were at our first high school football meeting (gasp, that is another post in it self)..anyways, afterwards we were mingling around and oldest boy was chatting with some of his friends.
One of his friends came up to us, and looked at oldest boy and said, “This your Mom?” He answered yes, then the boy responded, “well you must be his step Mom because you are not old enough to be his Mom.” My son just sat there giggling, and I praise God I was not drinking or I would have spit it out all over the young boy.
He is going into 9th grade, where do these boys learn to talk like that??
Hindsight is 20/20, I so wish I would have responded, “YEP, just call me trophy wife.” HA!
NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - For married women who can’t figure out why they always have so much housework researchers may have the answer — husbands.
A new study from the University of Michigan shows that having a husband creates an extra seven hours of extra housework a week for women. But a wife saves her husband from an hour of chores around the house each week.
“It’s a well-known pattern. There’s still a significant reallocation of labor that occurs at marriage — men tend to work more outside the home, while women take on more of the household labor,” said Frank Stafford, of the university’s Institute for Social Research (ISR), who directed the study.
“And the situation gets worse for women when they have children,” he added in a statement.
Stafford’s findings are based on 2005 time-diary data from a study on income dynamics that has been conducted since 1968 at ISR.
The researchers studied diaries to assess how people spent their time and questioned men and women about how much time they spend cooking, cleaning and doing basic work around the house.
They found that young single women did the least amount of housework, at about 12 hours a week. Married women in their 60 and 70s did nearly twice that amount, while women with more than three children spent 28 hours a week cleaning, cooking and washing. (excuse me can you say that again??!! I KNEW IT!)
But it’s not as bad as it used to be. In 1976 women did an average of 26 hours of housework a week, while men did about six, according to the study, (sorry Mom…)
As a Mom of three boys, it is sad how much I can relate to this video. But I wanted to send a shout out to my Sister In Law who has brand new baby twins and a brand new van!! Girl this is your future =))) HAVE A GREAT FRIDAY Y’ALL!
Manly Man and I went to look at a house that was up for sale. In the last several months we have driven by the house several times. We wanted to see if it was still for sale. There was never anybody home, and a lock box was on the front door. So when we drove by again, I said to manly man “lets just stop and walk around the property, no one lives there”. Well guess what……. Someone lives there.
Ok in all honesty we did ring the door bell and knock on the door before we started to peer into the windows. And I don’t mean I peered in just one window, oh no, I tried every door I looked into every window (granted there was barely NO furniture). Then right before we were ready to leave I see the window blinds open and shut, and I just froze! Then this gentleman comes walking out the front door. I apologized profusely, he was very nice. I guess he just got home when he saw our car in the drive way. I was beyond humiliated. But he did give us a tour of the house, I thanked him for not calling the cops on us. I am still sitting here embarrassed, I guess I learned my lesson.
