Unlike the Rest

I have been noticing something lately. That I am unlike the rest in the wife department. Not sure why that is but YAY!

One being is when Jeff has to go work for his business and he may be gone for a couple of hours or he may be gone all day. This is usually on a Saturday sometimes Sunday. I hear from him how the other wives complain a lot about when they are coming home. Like they call a lot! And they text and ask when they are coming home. I don’t think it’s because they have kids because one does and the other one her kids are out of the house. It’s not that I don’t care it’s I know he is working. In the world of technology things can go great or they can go wrong. When it goes wrong that could take a lot of time to get it back to great or at least good.

The only time I worry is when it start to get dark out. Then I wonder if he is coming home. For example if he leaves at 8 in the morning and it’s starting to be like five o’clock. Then I worry not when he will come home just more I hope he makes it home safely. I think that is understandable but I am not going to call and text a million times to ask him. Jeff is pretty good at letting me know when he is coming home.

Another thing is a constant through my life. Is video games! I know I always say this but I still think it’s funny. Like all guys like video games and you will find that you will have that in common. Um no. That isn’t true and people need to stop saying that. Jeff doesn’t really like them but he will play rock band and when we get Red Dead Redemption 2. I am excited for that one! It’s not that he hates them but he doesn’t really get into them. I can understand that.

It’s funny when the guys came over for the first time and they are like you? Not you Jeff? It’s funny! At least I will always have something to talk to them about.

This last weekend I was talking to my older brother. Right like what? Yeah I went swimming with my parents, Aunt Kathy and Corey and Crayne came too. What is going on?! Strange. Anyway back to the point. He said he has to mow the lawn yet and I was thinking how come Kim doesn’t mow the lawn. My lawn takes me over 2 hours to do. His lawn is tiny may, MAY take 20 minutes. Why can’t she mow the lawn when Crayne is at school? Seriously. And I still have people say you mow the lawn? Like yes. Jeff works and I do that stuff. I still think people think I do nothing since I don’t have a job.  Annoying.

Another thing is I have notice people are surprised about is I help with DIY stuff. I am Handy Man’s Jeff’s helper. Lol! For example Ken was surprised I was going up in the attic to help put up the vent in our bathroom. I know women do that stuff too. I see them in the Menard’s but for me I don’t really like doing that stuff even though afterwards I feel accomplish and I do learn stuff. I have been all over our house. Up in the attic underneath the house under things. Lol! I know my mom, my sister, sister in law wouldn’t do any of those things. Which I think it’s because of how I grew up. My dad made me do all of those things. Like you are going to help me in the attic to put in whatever, or you are going to help me paint or change this. So I apply that to my life now. I COULD say no Jeff I am not going to do that. But instead I am like I will try to help. There are things that I can’t do like I can’t lift really heavy things. Anything over my head that is heavy forget it because I physically can’t do it. At least I try.
