man things

Why is it that when Neil's gone, the house falls apart?
Seriously, as soon as he left, my cupboard door just fell off the hinges...
& this morning, when i got up, the fridge was full of warm things...
Not cool. (ok, no pun intended :)
i love the teamwork of marriage. The give & the take.
The ability to share tasks & divvy up jobs.
i love how poopy diapers are my job...
Strange flashing lights in the vehicle are his job...
Puke in the night is my job...
Bills getting paid falls on his side...
We share making coffee on Saturday mornings... & most evenings, we tag team the kitchen...
Each year that we add to our marriage is another year that we get to perfect our systems. We try to pick up each others slack... be strong in each others weakness... be gentle in criticism & yet honest with feedback.
i feel like in the 3 legged race of marriage ~ we're fairly evenly matched.
Now, if only he could come home & fix the cupboard & fridge...
