you're like stars
It's the little things...


that remind me that being single isn't all it's cracked up to be (haha). I mean I'm all good most days, my independent streak kicked back into gear and what not..

but for instance.. this morning.. I realized I hadn't taken the trash out in days (there's only two of us so no biggie right?) .. there were fruit flies coming out of my trash (barf). I HATE taking the trash out... it's like the one chore I avoid at all costs and the ONE chore that was the "man chore".. Ce will be big enough in a few years :p LOL he can take it over..



and just now..

one of the light bulbs in here went kapoot... I had forgotten all about them.. since I use those twisty ones and they last forever..

but you see...


changing a light bulb- is dangerous business when you're La. I'm not exactly......... the most graceful person while standing on a chair... and I am sure to either fall, or smash the glass light cover thinger.

Sigh..

where's a man when you need one??????


:D
 
Ugh I hate the trash too, HATE IT! Light bulbs I "think" I could handle, but I try not too if I don't have to LOL

Your grocery store hottie needs to come over and handle those things for you, I'm sure you'd reward him nicely, um I mean pay him lots of $$ ;)
 
La...I'd come over and change the bulb for you, but I think by the time I got there, you could have tried it, smashed the glass cover, fallen, gone to the hospital, to the grocery store to get advil, find grocery guy, and ask him to do it (I mean change the bulb), and still have time to knit a sweater....maybe you should just go and ask him to do it now..lol
 
Aww HUGS sweetie! You're doing awesome. I can't tell you how many times I've said that I just don't understand how single moms do it. You have my total admiration!
 
Ugh I hate doing th trash too! It wouldn't be so bad if it didn't stink so bad LOL

But unfortunately in my house I do the laundry, the dishes, take out the trash, clean the toilets ....and the list goes on. LOL and I have my sig other but he chooses not to help me do those things.
 
Dude Wes seriously needs to get on garbage duty, somehow I still end up always doing it! I agree go get grocery boy LOL

oh I thought I was the only one who did that! La I am a single mom too..and I say get that hottie over pronto. Seriously. I am sure you can think of lots of projects if you try. Maybe enough to keep him there for weeks.

Then send him to my house cause I have a list a half mile long that my handyman has not done yet.
 
Ugh, I just looked at the trash that I've been meaning to take out all day and walked away saying, "in a minute," for the 15 billionth time today.

But, dudes, changing light bulbs is not so bad, and I'm the clumsiest person in the world! :p
 
I have so much respect for single moms -- I'm always exhausted even with DH who actually helps around here. He does the trash, thank goodness.

hahah you totally cracked me up.. .TY for that :D



and dude.. NO. *I* am the clumsiest person. Did I ever tell you guys WHY my parents put me in dance when I was a kid????



I use to walk into doorknobs.. yes.. doorknobs.. ALL the time. 43634634 times a day. I still do.


I win.. :D
 
LMAO La! You are soooo funny!! I am so clumsy too. it's insane. My dad nick named my sister and I Grace cause we just would fall walking with nothing around, lol!

I am quite spoiled and my hubby does change the light bulbs and does the trash...and a few other things. You can borrow him if you want (just for house stuff... ;) ) but you have to take the 4 year old and 2 year old too! lol!

Well at least I was able to do that for you...I may be able to change bulbs...but earlier, my wife asked me to move the blow up pool in the backyard, and when I lifted it I found a snake....and ran like hell....so the recap:

lightbulbs: yes
snakes and other grossness: Hell No
 
Dude, were we separated at birth?! :D I'm so well acquainted with the doorknobs of every house I've ever lived in, and have no end of bruises to prove it. I'm also good at glancing off the walls as I walk and walking into doorjambs is another favourite of mine. :D :D

:D :D YES... he can come do all the manly duties :D

ALL the manly duties, eh? :w00t:

I'm totally with you about trash and lightbulbs! I refuse to do those things around here. well I can do light bulbs in lamps but not the recessed ones in the ceiling.

What type of snake? We're lucky to not have anything much scarier than common garter snakes around here, and I like them. Now put a spider under there and that's another story... I'd either have been a blurred streak running for the hills, or beat it and the blow-up pool senseless with the nearest implement of destruction I could find.
 
Ok, so it was just a garter snake..but there were big spiders there too, and other large bugs...I hate all that stuff..

and really, La, I am a scrapbooker hanging out in the forums with all you ladies...and it's the snake that makes me a girl??? LOL!!!!

LOL :D

Well it's clear the garter snake was hanging out with a rough crowd. I deem running like hell a perfectly acceptable reaction.
 
Um, La, just b/c you have a man does NOT mean that those jobs are done by him! LMAO - as I get ready to take out the trash b/c hubby went to bed w/o doing it :p
 
HAHA La I totally know what you mean. I live with my parents and bc I do I *have* to take out the trash...EW!

LOL Aaron you are hilarious!!!
 
La, make sure you get a live-in man, mmmkay? I've got one, but he does not live w me, so I still have to take out my own trash and change my own lightbulbs.

I mean, I suppose I could 'force' him to do it, but I'd really hate squinting by the light of my laptop screen until he got over here to change it. I even have a real tricky one that hangs down into a paper lantern-y thing on a wire, so I have to squeeze the bulb into the paper lantern hole and then twist it onto the hangy wire while the whole thing rocks back and forth on the pole.

See? This one.

Although there is a lot to be said for singledom, too, Beloved Name Stealer! Holla if you let your dishes stay dirty in the sink for a day or two! Holla if you wear mismatched old holey clothes around the house! HOLLA!
 
ok that is one cool lamp.. I was going to say I want one, but the description for changing the light bulb you just gave.. well... it would never get changed :D :D :D :D


and dude.. you should see what I wear on a daily basis :D :D --- think hot pink pants and clashing but equally blinding bright t-shirts :D :D
 
Yes, time to get the grocery dude and pull that "I need help with......and while you're over, how about some coffee? beer? wine? milk and cookies?" Uh, whatever you're into :)
 
I ssssooo know what you mean. I try to think of a bunch of sneaky ways to get my dad or brother to some over and end up taking out the trash.
But shhhh.......... Dont tell.
 
My DH... *hehe* He's all thumbs (a little bit). He is a theoretician, I am the practical one. :)

Bringing the garbage does not disturb me, for that I hate to clean the bathroom and the kitchen. :cursing:
 
I will do everything but change light bulbs. I hate that! And spider killing...

Other than that, I take out the trash...and EVERYTHING else around here. You can borrow my big oaf if you want!
 
Iiiihhh, Spider Killing... Yes, THIS is DHs Job
and for that I protect him from the dangerous ;-) killer-wasps :)

I almost spit my coffee everywhere reading that, LOL!

Jordan's ok, but the fact that I'm an independent and self sufficient woman does not help my case. He figures I can deal with most anything, lol. I took the trash out yesterday morning in fact, lol.
