The skewed visions of a House Husband

Doug is no longer working, which I guess I’ll finally disclose as the “challenge” that I've referenced in previous posts. This brought him home for our days – something that Kenzie REALLY seems to be enjoying. He's also enjoying the ability to spend more time with her than a short 15 (+/-) minutes in the morning, and about an hour or two before her bedtime at night.

Although this is challenging financially and structurally – (I still have to work...regardless of whether he’s yacking at me all day - or Kenzie is dangling from my ankles) – it’s been really, really positive for his stress levels. We’re cutting the “fat” where we can (no more house keepers for me..and Kenzie is spending much less time with Nanny Mary), but we’re doing just fine!

This morning I warned Doug that I was finding things about him that are totally blog-able. Like the fact that he’s worn the same pair of shorts - every day for like the past 4 days. Without washing them. He claims, even, that by "man standards" they’ve got several more good days left in them! Today, we discussed how you can apparently - further extend the life of a pair of dirty shorts - by mixing in a dressier shirt. He wore a nicer polo shirt with them today, which in a man’s world, offsets the premise that the shorts are D-I-R-T-Y.

Very amusing...
