Mr. Awesome's Grumpy Old Gripe
Apparently my wife blogs about my my family. I figured if she was going to talk about us, that I should get in on that too. So I proposed to her a once a week feature, called Mr. Awesome's Grumpy Old Gripe. I will gripe like an old man about something that is on my mind, in under 5 grammatical errors or less (not guarenteed.)
My first gripe is one I am sure many of you share with me. It all started during our snowy Wisconsin winter, the Aweome Wife and I took a snow day after we woke up to double digit inches of snow. We had prepared in advance by renting a couple movies, just in case. We each got to choose a movie, she chose Mama Mia. What a miserable excuse for a movie that was. That brings us to our first gripe: why the hell was Pierce Brosnan giving a singing role. I mean come on, I know Pierce has the sex appeal of 10 Mr. Awesome's, but I would rather listen to Mrs. Awesome cackle out Row Row Row Your Boat. At some point, the casting director should have realized something was up when his or her ears started bleeding. No amount of sex appeal made up for the rusty pipes that belonged to a former 007. For those of you that have not seen the movie, first let me suggest you wear that fact as a badge of honor, and second, let me try and create an analogy for you. His singing was like listening to Roseanne Barr recited Shakespeare. It was like listening to a voice message from Helen Keller. The sound that came out of his mouth had less appeal than the mole on the lunch ladies arm that a
lways seemed to have 3 long hairs coming out of it. What was this casting director thinking, there had to be someone with a moderate amount of singing ability that has sex appeal, even to Mr. Awesome. If they have a sequel, and this is just an Awesome Brand Suggestion, but maybe Uncle Jesse, and his Rippers are available.

Mr. Mom
I managed to really make Mr. A mad last night. I was overtired (no excuse) and felt like I was overworked, not really the case I’m sure. I first told him (sarcastically) thanks for the help cleaning…and it all went downhill from there….ugh he called me a drama queen and then I told him I’d rather be a drama queen then lazy. I felt bad after it was said, but in all honesty he will tell you he’s lazy. Nothing wrong with that since we do always get what we need done..done, but I guess this issue is more my fault than anything. I always wonder how guys who don’t get up and do stuff all the time, but rather sit in front of a tv all day or a computer feel like they ever get things accomplished. I would get so bored doing that. Don’t get me wrong, I love relaxing in front of the TV or Computer just as much as the next guy, but I get bored easily and I want to live in a clean house!
Mr. A was the one who really wanted to get a house. I was content in our 1200 sq ft apartment. Yes, I wanted a house, but I knew that Mr. A wasn’t keen on yard work, and the upkeep of a house. But we got one, so we have responsibilities. I have no problem keeping the INSIDE clean, with the occasional help of Mr. A, but why can’t he manage to keep up with the outside. Why can’t he cut the grass when it needs to be cut, and not wait until it’s knee high and I’ve nagged for 5 days….I know I know, I ask too much. I’m so used to my dad, who, even though he worked 40+hours a week would still spending his weekends cleaning up the yard and helping out with odds and ends that need to be done. I’m used to my brother who goes out of his way to help out with things around the house (mostly outside). I know I married a man who has never had to do these things before, but am I really out of line asking that he step up and try?
I guess this is one of those, things I would change about my spouse deals, but when I got married I made a promise to myself I would TRY (it hasn’t ALWAYS worked) to not try and change him because I married him for who he was, not so I could change him to fit my IDEAL man.
I guess it’s good the grass doesn’t need to be cut today! :)

Rain Rain Go Away
Grr..it's summer and it's raining..I hate it. When will these nice temps be here for good?
Yesterday we made a huge uh-oh. Mr. A, BA1 and myself spent all day yesterday away from the house, and when we arrived home last night at about 8:00p.m we noticed the dogs were sitting by the window...but no this couldn't be, not our puppies who are just 2 and still wild, who we lock up EVERY SINGLE time we leave the house. oops...apparently we didn't lock the door on the kennel tight and they got out...Well, they got into all the dirty diapers and SHREDDED THEM ON THE LIVING ROOM FLOOR....yuck..it was awful smelling..they also decided to jump into BA1's crib and bring every blanket and stuffed toy out as well...It could have been much worse, but disgusting nonetheless..
Needless to say I don't think Mr.A will be getting "kisses from the puppies" for a very long time and now my job for the day is finding something to treat our puppies "diaper breath."
