Warfare

I think I need to go watch War of the Roses again.

There are some many battles to win in life. I lose track as I am trying to win the war. But this week, I lost a big big battle in the house work area.

There are small battles.....
  • Leave dishes on the table not even moving them to the sink.
  • Letting the mail pile up....not even opening things addressed to yourself.
  • Leaving dirty clothes in the bathroom.....shoes in the middle of the floor.
  • Not ever clean a thing, no scrubbing, no washing.

There are subversive battles..........

  • doing chores so there cannot be complaints
  • smiling and saying but I did the laundry
  • buying all the groceries so I get to pick the cereal

But I have just been "schooled" by a man trained by the army in Psychological Warfare. I have just learned the art of "reverse housework" This is not making a mess or leaving a mess or ignoring a mess, this took true talent. I admire the skill and craftsmanship. I did all the laundry and left a clean pile to be put away. I was gone on business for a few days and returned. It was not only not put away, but covered with a wet towel and dirty clothes.

I now must rewash everything plus this weeks laundry. Reverse Housework!!!!!

Score: Auntie Mame 0 Hubby 1-maybe to for ingenuity.
