workaholic?

My M.A.N. seems to work 24/7 year over year.

Even in this horrible market, he keeps

the jobs coming in somehow.

That’s amazing in the construction business

these days... some say it is actually crazy.

He insists that he can keep his business

thriving during this economic insanity.

As I am not feeling like a Pollyanna right now,

I suggested that he should have his

head examined!

YIKES!

So, TGIF... & some quotes to ponder:

"A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval. "
— Mark Twain

"Moderation is the silken string running through the pearl chain of all virtues. "
— Bishop Joseph Hall

and, bottom line...

"My mama used to say, 'You keep using the same ingredients, you're making the same cake.' If you want to make a new cake, you got to change the ingredients." - Ice-T

My M.A.N.

M.A.N.~ my 1 & Only Husband’s initials.
And, what a MAN he is.
My partner in life, love, anguish, work,
& wacky adventures for over 35 years.
Very proud Father of our 4 amazing Daughters.
Thrilled as a Grandpa, blasting through
a daily Bowflex routine; gotta stay in shape to
keep up with our 2 incredible Grandkids.
A self-made man, successful General Contractor,
boat & camping lover, sports nut, fixer of all things,
Neighborhood Watch "Captain",
friend to many, foe to few.

He did come with a ton of horrible w/t baggage.
A product of a miserable & deprived childhood,
stuck with a fake back stabbing family,
that still pretends to be attached to each other
in some bizarre fashion.
bakayaros.

Full disclosure:
He still smokes outside, even though his dad is dying
from a cancer eating up his lungs.
He snores like a Harley without baffles.
Won't let our dog in the house.
Hasn't completed restoring my '69 Ford Mustang.
Refuses to eat any form of seafood
(traumatic fish stick episode as a child).
Can't seem to complete our
home improvement projects, even though
he is a top notch General Contractor.
It's a good thing he had his feet covered,
when I met him.
He is generous to a fault.
Has no character judgement.
He's absolutely a lunatic magnet.

Regardless, my MAN is a keeper.
He loves & protects us, works until he drops,
never gives up, & always steps up for our Family.
Love you always, my MAN.

What Do You Do When Your Husband is a Better Housewife Than you?

My hubby is a hard worker, he works 18 hour days sometimes (not including drive time). He works for the family, and misses the family very much while he is gone. While he works I hold down the fort. Kids up, kid 1 to school, kid 2 play blocks, read books, dishes, laundry, vacuum, food, and a few bootie wipes in between. I never seem to find the time to finish the to dos.

My Hubby on the other hand, when he is able to take some time off, seems to do it all and more. The homestead always looks fresh and clean. Not just tidy like when I clean, but close to perfect. Yard looks great. He cooks too. Honey do list complete and we can all sit down for movie night. How does he do it?

At this point should I feel inadequate, lazy, useless ? Should I throw my Bon Bon's in the trash and get a day job?

Well, in addition to his other talents the hubby also has a way of making me feel like Queen of the Castle, even though he is cleaning it. For this I am so grateful. So to answer the question, what do you do if your husband is a better housewife than you? You thank your lucky stars!
