As I've said in previous My Husband Rocks posts, The Hubs does A LOT around the house. During the week, I cook dinner- and then I'm out for the count. I'll sit in front of the TV until it's about 9:30 and then I get ready for work the next day and go to bed. Mostly, if dishes need done, I either do them before making dinner or not at all. The Hubs goes crazy and can't stand my clutter, so he'll sometimes just start cleaning. I feel bad when he does this, but I just can't seem to get motivated to help. I say "that's what the weekend is for!"



That said, he LOVES it when I clean... especially when I organize things. This week, as my marriage builder challenge, I am going to try to keep at least the first floor in company friendly condition. It's nothing big, and I know keeping it up daily will be a big help for both of us, but I've never been able to do it before- so wish me luck!!!!



What will you do this week?

Marriage Builder Monday

It's MONDAY again! I know, how excited are you?!(she asked sarcastically.)



Do you ever look back at a certain time period in your life and say "what in the world was I even DOING that took up that much time?!" Well, the past 2 weeks, I haven't been home except to sleep. My poor Husband! And the sad thing is- I have NO IDEA what I've been doing that was so important that it kept me away from home! I know I met with a couple of friends that I hadn't seen in a really long time, so that may have been worth it.... and I went grocery shopping and let the Hubs chill at home with his DVR and video games, so that was nice of me... but really? It's sad.



This week, as a marriage building gesture, I will go home from work every day. If I have to go back out, I will wait until after I have made dinner and we have eaten it together, and then I will go run whatever errands I need to run. Hopefully the Hubs will tag along, but probably not. Wish me luck!

Marriage Builder Monday

So, in case you couldn't tell, I'm a huge fan of this marriage building stuff. Sarah at Burgeon came up with the idea of Marriage Builder Monday. Every Monday, I will post something that I will do for my husband throughout the week to make sure he knows that I recognize how hard he works and that I appreciate him. If you think that this is all about him, ladies, guess what! Almost always he'll feel so good about the effort you put in to making him feel good, that he'll return the favor two fold. No kidding. I've tested this theory, and it works a HELL of a lot better than bitching and moaning does. (I've tested that one, too.)



This week, I am going to try and hang out with the Hubs in the basement. The basement, or "man cave" is where my darling husband prefers to spend his time. I told him not too long ago that I hate going down there because I feel like it's his territory and that I don't have a place down there. He felt really bad about that, but I still haven't really spent time down there. Even if I just sit there and read my book and basically ignore him, he's happy that I'm sharing "his space" willingly. So, this week, I will make an effort to spend time down there when he's down there. It's a small step, but I know it will be appreciated.



Also, I'm kinda html illiterate. If someone can tell me how in the world I can make the little icon on the top of this page link to Sarah's blog, I will be a HAPPY HAPPY lady!
