Missing Rib

So last weekend I figured it out. I understand why most, if not all, men are a little off in more ways than one. I have only been married for a short period of time and over the weekend I realized that writing this blog has done so much for me. I now realize that I am not alone. Talking to other married women helps me see that the male thought process is pretty much the same no matter where you are from, what nationality you are or how you were raised. Men are men and a lot os them do the same dumb stuff.

I thought to myself, what do all men have in common that women do not have and I realized it was a missing rib. When God created Woman he took a rib from Adam and made woman from it. Obviously the key to thinking properly and making sense is in whatever Adam lost when God took that rib.

Before I figured this out Jake and I got into a big argument that resulted in him appologizing after I had left the house and I guess he had time to think about it. Here is the story...



My doctor told me to rest me wrist over the weekend to try and heal the tendinitis he said I have (I am so glad it was not carpal tunnel). Anyway, as you know, Jake told me not to be superwoman so I thought he was going to do what was necessary to clean the House on Friday and Saturday. I usually wake up in the morning, wash any dishes leftover, clean kitchen, wash, fold and put clothes, sheets, towels etc. away, sweep and mop the bathroom and kitchen floors, wash the tub, toliet and sinks, sweep my bedroom floor and straighten the livingroom. Jake and Sam usually vacuum and Sam cleans his room and takes out trash.





I thought that Jake would do everything I usually do but when I woke up early on Saturday I decided to wash and fold clothes and he could do the rest. If I can do it every week he could do it until my hand is better. When I returned from a meeting (I was gone for about three and a half hours) my house was still not clean. Instead of saying anything about the house I decided to just tell Sam to take a shower because Jake was going to clean the bathroom and I didn't want Sam to mess it up by taking his shower later. Well Jake had a fit that I assumed he was going to clean the bathroom. He said he had no intention on cleaning it and I should not make assumptions. We went on to have a intense talk about what I do around the house and that all thought was that he was going to do it because I was told not to be "Superwoman". After listening to him go on and on about me making assumptions I told him I thought he was crazy and that I don't think he even understood what he was talkng about. Like I said in the beginning I guess he had to think about how ridiculous he sounded and then he called to appologize and say that he appreciates me and knows I work really hard to kkep the house clean and keep things in order and that he would try to pick up the pieces. I know ladies some of you may think I should have run home because I won but you only win when the test comes around again and he passes.



Alright, when I got home I, after a trip to mini golf, the laundrymat, playground and the market I ended up enjoying the rest of my day.

Now that I know Jake is missing a rib I can function a little better. I know it maybe just may way of coping but it works.
