Opposing the Missus

We don't fight. B has to fight me off occaisionally all the time, but hardly ever are voices raised and never hands.

So when we were relaxing in the pool the other day (it's not our pool but one we manage for a private club; you'll probably here a lot more about in the future) and Eminem/Rihanna "Love the Way You Lie" comes on the Top 40 station, she tells me how she dislikes the station again, and songs like that one. Especially since the younger son is singing along with it. She tries to explain to him that it's not a nice song, and that it deals with serious stuff. He just responded with something like "not everything is nice in the world, Mom" or something like that. I'm not going to link to the video, though I might do so at another blog sometime.

But, I like the song. Not for the material, but for contrast in styles; the tone of Rihanna vs. Eminem. Not quite the same is Bon Jovi and Amy Nettles in "Who Says You Can't Go Home" or Seether and Amy Lee in "Broken," but similar. Maybe I'll post all three over at the other blog.

Anyway, just something to get off my chest. I ran this by djMot over at Girls Rock Radio too. You should give them a listen. If you like it, consider supporting them.

Laundry

I'm not opposed to doing laundry. I have my own ways of doing most things domestic that I think are the *right* way.

But I like cargo shorts. Now that most manufacturers are making them pretty much the same, and that most don't have droopy crotches that result in chafing, I really like them. So much that I am prone to put things in 5 out of 6 pockets. That sucks because I have to check all of them. Oh it might be money, sunglasses, pens, pencils, nuts, bolts, garbage, fish bait, fish hooks, cell phones (had one make all the way through and still work), etc. I put all kinds of sh** in my pockets and I have to check nearly all of them. The back right butt pocket is my least favorite. I wonder why that is?

Why Chaos?

CHAOS and CONTROL...

If you are old enough to remember what that means, you're Smart.

Honestly, the FlyLady introduced us to CHAOS. And it's true for our home.

We have to get it under control, but it's going to take time, work, and venting, and that my friends is where this blog and you come in. Oh, there will be lots more than cleaning, organising, and getting our act together. Actually, the latter is probably what I'll write most about...getting it together and how much that sucks.

Thanks for riding along!
