confession

So, I have to admit.................there is a household job that I hate. abhor. refuse to do. And that is taking out the recycling. Why this is such a big deal, I don't know, but that's the story. :D
Now the recycling here in Pgh is a little strange. We have to put it in blue bags, which are to be put on the street on pick-up day. These bags are given out by our local grocery store, which means, they are not big! I don't know about you all, but we seemingly accummulate a ton of recyclables. Because the bags are so small, we can easily fill one up in a day or so. which means it ALWAYS need to be changed!
So.............yesterday, I hear [a slightly ominous] "babe......" When I saw where he was standing (by the trash) I immediately started cracking up. [b.u.s.t.e.d.] The next comment was "do you think that it took you more time to stack the trash jenga-style than it would have taken you to change it"?
Well, thankfully we had a good laugh about it. And my lovely hubby did change it.
Hopefully I am not the only one with a housewife confession. :)

That's hilarious! Mine is putting clean dishes away. I'll keep washing and washing and washing, making my own "jenga-style" pile in the dish drainer until it threatens to fall and harm a little one.

This is great! I think I have so many confessions, it's hard to pick one. I do often hear Rob right before work saying...is there any clean laundry in the dryer??? Usually he's looking for an undershirt...oops, sorry honey!

thank you all for making me feel so much better. :) I am sure I could think of many other confessions to make as well!!

I don't put gas in the car...unless it's ABSOLUTELY necessary. Poor Jordan ;) If he had a dime for every time he got in the car to see the gas light on... :)

This made me laugh! Mark would totally be able to relate to Andrew because he is often heard saying, "Let's play a game...who can fill up the trash the most..." In my defense, I could say that I am being frugal/green by trying to get the most from one trash bag, right?!? :)

Thanks for sharing--that was a fun peek into your life :)
