Women's Jobs Versus Men's Jobs

We have all heard that women's jobs are doing the dishes, cleaning the house, doing the laundry, right? I will sign on to them any day! Let me explain why I say this, this morning when Jim said "What the h@## am I suppose to do with that?", I said "That's a MAN'S job!" I am happy to say that I loved being able to say that because doing the dishes, cleaning the house and doing the laundry is soooo easy compared to this morning. Let me start at the beginning. I usually let the dogs out but they slept in Samantha's room and Jim went in to say goodbye. The dogs got excited to see him and when they get excited they will pee. So, Jim rushed the dogs outside. Jim left the dogs outside by themselves, MISTAKE ONE, usually this is a mistake because it is wet and some places muddy and they love to tackle each other in the mud. I have had this happen to me with mud and fresh poop! But, that wasn't the problem this morning. MISTAKE TWO, he left the dogs out there for a while to get into trouble. MISTAKE THREE, he was in a hurry to get to work and usually when you are in a hurry something goes wrong. Now the kicker, the dogs, hunters at heart, got a rabbit! The dogs ran towards Jim so happy because they got something exciting to show him. They proceeded to put it on the deck right in front of Jim. I proceeded to go back inside. No, I did help him because he was turning green and so was I. My theory was if we got it done quickly no one would get sick. I pushed it with a BIG piece of cardboard while Jim scooped it up with a BIG piece of cardboard and threw it into the field behind our house where the dogs can't get it. What Jim doesn't know is that when he gets home tonight there is another piece of the rabbit, I am not getting close enough to see what part, for him to get out of the yard. I so love having my woman's work to do when there is man's work that needs to be done! I have the BEST husband in the world who can do these things and only turn a slight shade of green, I was full green!

Had a similar experience but Jesse didn't kill the rabbit. One day I was cleaning up the front yard and found a rabbit's head and tufts of fur. Then if this wasn't bad enough I found all of the guts in a heap. I think that this was the worst thing I've ever had to clean up.
