Misnomer!

I have decided throw-pillows are sexist.    First of all, I don't think many men would determine throw pillows as essential items in decor.  I think most  men's essential list would probably read television, recliner, and maybe a folding dinner tray.  Throw-pillows, nah!

Since Krl  re-entered the work force I have been trying to "help out" more around the house.  It is so strange because it seems that we are never on the same page.  When Krl was home I was working long hours out of town and I would start my day at five-o-three every morning and some nights return near eleven.  Needless to say, during these times the house and cooking duties were hers.  Since she has gone back to work I have been off so we have changed hats again.  Now I like to cook.  I am not bad alone, but with Krl in the kitchen with me we can turn out some deluxe dishes.  I don't like the post cooking clean up, but I can do it.  I find that I am not as selective in separating laundry.  I have two major groups and one of them has sub groups.  I have his and hers and her group is the one with the subgroups.  I don't think my laundry knows if it is light or dark and if it can't take the sturdy cycle it can't live in my side of the dresser.  The touch up cycle on the clothes dryer is a male invention but that is another blog!  General house cleaning........  I am a sweeping, mopping and vacuuming fool!  Give me a job with tools or machinery and I am happy.  I can't get into dusting or doing mirrors and windows.  I never have understood the oodie deal, why put them out if you just have to move them to clean.  I might get into this if there was a really neat tool belt or of it was a timed event!  Without a doubt though, my least favorite chore is making the bed!  I could make so many arguments as I run from side to side wearing out the carpet, equalizing the bedding and smoothing out wrinkles.  Krl does this chore with no effort what so ever!  She is quick and precise.  I think she can make the bed in the time I take just to get the sheets adjusted!  But the icing on the cake making this my least favorite chore are the "throw-pillows".  I have observed how this is supposed to be done but when I pick them up and "throw" them it doesn't achieve the desired effect and the "throw-pillow" becomes a "placement-pillow".  It is frustrating, this should be like a sport!  Then Krl breezes through and picks them up and zip, zap, behind her back, over her shoulder, under-hand, over-hand, left hand, right hand, flip, flop, a little reverse english and ........walla!  Perfect. 

FATHER, I am thankful for the special talents YOU have blessed us with and I am thankful that Krl and I blend together so well!  Bless her and I ask YOUR blessings on this day and week.  I continue to ask for your healing for Aimee, Rene', Carol, and Michelle.  Bless them, their families, and their doctors and nurses.  May this day bring glory to YOU.
