While you are up.....would you get me....the....

Why is it that nobody is in dire need of something until I get up off my tush to go and fetch something?

Or, if I head outside to do something in the garden.... something else is needing to be done out there and so 'while you are out there would you........' is the last thing I hear as I head out the door.

I went outside today to weed --a warm sunny glorious day... The snow melting last week got the ground ready for great weeding...... but no sooner did I head outside with gloves in hand and a happy heart....... I heard the 'hinges need to be spray painted before the (newly painted) bedroom doors are hung' and 'could (I) do that?' (I screw the hinges into foam board and when I spray --the screws and the hinges get painted together -- it works out real well.) Why would a man who wants silver hinges purchase gold colored ones anyway???? Must be the same reason he buys beige switchcovers and then wants them white to match the molding. Eeech.

I'm so laughing...never ceases to amaze one does it...perhaps it's time you take over the purchases...

Betty ---- you have no idea.

you have no idea.......

Think I've been there..friends all kid me about how much I can accomplish..they keep asking DH's to get to the projects, lorday, we women have the ability to get it done..I have a sister-in-law, each weekend they are going to accomplish so much, her DH has to think, work out the details, think again, see if there is a shortcut, think again, weekends gone...

Just get it done!!!

my husband built a ramp ...to drive the lawn mower up and into the shed (it didn't fit ...another story)...
this ramp..... it was worked out on paper... it was worried about and anguished over...it has an infrastructure that would assure a tank being driven over it (the tank won't fit in the shed either) ... the planks were nailed, screwed and glued onto the supports and look so darn great even tho they are turning up at the sides where no glue, nails or screws have gone.. anything could live on top of and under this ramp .... but they would have to evict the resident snake first.

LOL LOL....I can soooo relate. Bill will be doing a project...measure the same "whatever" 3-4 times, scratch his head, talk it to death, drink at least one beer, take a leak, measure one more time (for good measure) and cut it wrong anyway!!! DUH....just do it already!

Yes this weekend..... it was....endless.........
Him: "What are you doing....? Me: " WASHING THE FLOOR - A CLUE --THERE IS A MOP IN MY HAND "Oh, well if you are washing the floor, can you hit the bathroom floor because I got mud in there when I was painting the trim" .....
"Honey.... honey.... honeeeeeeeee!" WHAT??!!! "Where are you?" I TOLD YOU, I AM WASHING THE (__________) F L O O R! "Oh, well can you hand me the sponge on the kitchen counter, I want to wash the car and I forgot it"
THE FLOOR IS WET....
"Well, I know that, but if you walk on it it won't make footprints because you don't weigh as much." "Honey, honey, hoooooooneeeeeee" WHAAAAAAT!!X @#!%! "Are you coming outside at all today? YES, YOU ASKED ME TO PAINT THE METAL STAR. "Oh, well....when you come out...can you wash this grate?" "I have the hose all set up for you"
I THOUGHT YOU WERE WASHING THE CAR? WHY CAN'T YOU WASH THE GRATE? "Well, I am done with the car and I thought since you were coming out to paint the star you could wash the grate too" ......and, I am finished with the painting in the bathroom....could you wash out the paintbrush and the pan?
eeeech.....
