Well, on Saturday I:
1. Did dishes (by hand, no dishwasher)
2. Swept/mopped kitchen
3. 5 loads of laundry
4. Dusted the entire house
5. Vacuumed dog hair off of furniture
6. Vacuumed entire house
7. Changed linens (towels, bedsheets)
8. Balanced the checkbook
9. Paid bills
10. Went grocery shopping
11. Made dinner
12. Washed dinner dishes
13. Cleaned the bathroom (we only have one full bathroom)

And DH didn't even notice the house was any cleaner than when he went to work in the morning.

This is an every-weekend thing. I've grown accustomed to it by now. DH has 2 jobs, I don't expect him to do housework too. I consider housework my second job.

But DH didn't have the "energy" to thank me in the way I wanted. Gimme a break.

(So I accosted him the next morning!)


VA, my DH doesn't have a romantic bone in his body. But if I were in imaginary land, my idea of romance is spontenaity.

Does your laundry room have a door? Can you shower together in the morning? Does your 4-year-old like "The Wiggles?" so that perhaps she can be raptly entertained in one room while you *ahem* in the other?

Don't give your wife the chance to say "we shouldn't."

So your husband gets to watch you do housework and then get some when you're done???

Son of a B****!!!!

Well, this is the type of imagination that my wife doesn't appreciate. Again it seems to have to be, in the bedroom, dark, covers on, etc.....

She might need to experience the laundry room once to realize she likes it! Drag her behind in there!

Here's an idea: if you have a spare bedroom...black out the windows, and pitch a makeshift tent using chairs and old sheets.

Meets the requirements--dark, under covers, in a bedroom!

i agree with sedie80.
just remember to keep your nice shoes on whilst doing "the laundry".
(you may need them for traction anyways on the cool tile floor)

Hey, sounds like a plan to me! I bet I could come up with at least a couple of chapters!

VA, just do what my husband does, he comes in the bedroom whenever I'm in there, locks the door and says "why are your clothes still on". then if I take too long to get them off, he's starts saying "it's taking way too long"
