I know how to change a light bulb, I really do

you know you've spent too much time cheerleading your husband's professional achievements and boosting his male ego glorifying his once-a-month vacuum cleaning the house when you ask him to help you change the kitchen light bulb and he actually thinks it's because you cannot do it by yourself. what do you do then? I am just the tiniest bit resentful. after all, I knew it. since I've been publicly claiming that being a SAHM is a full-time job, my husband sometimes presumes my IQ equals the pink Hello Kitty apron I wear all day. I read People and Instyle magazines more feverishly than Le Monde newspaper, buy all my pants in junior's sections and 99% of the sustained conversations I have engaged in lately included the words pediatricians, diapers, grocery shopping, pimples and bikes. wait. I mean bikes for kids.

Ha, ha. Well, I know for a fact after meeting you that you are perfectly able to carry on a conversation; albeit with some interruption, but a conversation just the same.

Check out my cute yogurt nephew on M's blog.

Wait a second.

Did you say you have a PINK HELLO KITTY APRON and that you buy your pants IN THE JUNIORS SECTION?!

You are skinny AND cool. I can't take it.

(I have a red hello kitty purse. It's awesome.)

If we could find a way to procreate sans men we would have it made.

I have been asking K to change the lightbulb above the stairs for FOUR DAYS! Last night he said --"can't you do it?"
(I don't want to stand on a ladder over the stairs!)
can't I do it.....sheesh. FOUR DAYS.

Your husband changes lightbulbs?

Well I have learn what he will and will not do, laundry,yes. dishes, no stinken way. And for that I should get a hello kitty apron too!

But I don't have small kids that need there mommy, so I fully understand. Just wait until you can train them to do your dirty work!

"bikes for KIDS"...so I guess that means you don't want to hear about my bike ride the other evening on my 70's Schwinn that made me feel about 10 years old... :)

We simply MUST have a photo of the Hello Kitty apron...

Down deep, you know you're starting to LOVE watching the REAL bikes - the Tour! I may have to get some Hello Kitty stuff, too...Ella seems to have noticed this icon and likes it. How am I going to keep up with a girl??

Dude, I like to pretend my IQ equals the pink Hello Kitty apron I wear all day, less I have to do. Ok, well I don't have a pink Hello Kitty apron but I do have a pink Hello Kitty vibrator. Ok, it's called a back massager but it looks like something dirty. It's still in the box, swear, just bought it for the cheese factor.

Ok, my point, where did it go? Oh yeah. Run with it. Play dumb. "I don't do anything all day, that's why the dishes are piled up and there's no dinner on the table or clean clothes in your closet. Can you watch the kids? I really need to take a nap, all this doing nothing makes me tired..."

teehee.
