Love Notes
Dear Hubster,
Did you know that there are seven steps between our dryer and our garbage can? Really, it’s only seven. I counted them today when I walked the gigantic ball of lint I found on top of the dryer to the trash, where I then disposed of said lint ball. Also, I’m a bit tired of you strutting around because you washed a load of laundry. I might award you strutting privileges if you folded / hung it and put it away. Heck, I might reward you with a BJ if you started doing that.

If my husband thought he would get such a reward, I would be wearing a clean bra right now.
Clicked through TopMomma to find you (I’m one of the “new contenders” as well) and was delighted to see that I have stumbled into one of my favorite IzzyMom designs! I always admire this banner and need to tell her so. She’s working on a new design for me as I type this.
It doesn’t hurt that I’ve been on quite the Our Lady kick lately, if you don’t go straight to hell for calling it a “kick,” that is. I’m in the middle of building a Mary garden using vintage chalkware statues and am having a ball.
I’ll definitely have to stick around and check you out, girl. I’m loving what I’m seeing so far!

Amen, sister.

BJ’s are great motivational tools, however, you do it too much and the old Pavlovian reation starts to happen: he does laundry, walks around with a shit-eating grin and a HO for the rest of the day. I speak from experience…
M&M
PS~ LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your sense of humor and Suzy Hombreaking skills o’plenty! Plus, can I just say Jem IS truly outrageous???

BJ’s for Lint! A new campaign slogan!

Hmmm I see my DH is not alone in this, he fails to even EMPTY said lint from the trap! Which for fives snakes gets me because there is a stinkin LIGHT that says CLEAN LINT TRAP!
Men gotta love em, for some reason that is??

BJ? Let’s not go off the deep end here, sista! LOL

See I’m on the opposite side here. My husband offers me “special rewards,” because I don’t do laundry and well neither does he. But I might have to start up a menu of rewards for him!
Wash clothes: Hand job
Dry clothes:BJ
Fold and Put away clothes: full on plus whatever because that’s magical!

I’m guilty of leaving giant lint balls on the dryer. But let me explain why - I like to use the lint ball to actuall clean the top of the dryer. It really catches the new lint and dust well. That’s my story…

Oh hell, save the BJ for something real big like waxing the floors or keeping the kids by himself. If you give up the big ticket items for small favors,there will be less to negotiate with.
