Honey-Do List

I actually hate the term "honey-do list". It makes it seem like the husband doing anything around the house is unusual and a favor to his wife. Just like I hate people saying that a father is "babysitting the kids". No, if they are his kids, that's called parenting. Not babysitting.

Anyway, Lee's countdown is down to TEN days! He starts school a week after he gets back, but he isn't planning to get a part-time job for about 5 weeks. We have been negotiating this one... He still gets paid by the Navy until mid-September, so I won't complain until then. Haha!

Lee's to-do list for when he gets home is growing exponentially. And they are not small things on the list! So far, the list is below. I will update you of his progress. AND THERE WILL BE PROGRESS. Haha!

1. Remodel the master bathroom (I told you they were not small things.)
2. Build a mantel for our fireplace
3. Install a ceiling fan in our bedroom
4. Get a new light fixture for our dining room (The current one is SUPER 70's.)
5. Fix the driveway & edge around it
6. Fix the weather stripping on the front door and paint the front door
7. Buy & install wood shades in bedrooms (This one is on hold while we negotiate the necessity of nice shades vs. $6 shades.)
8. Take down unused window brackets
9. Spray yard for mosquitos, fertilize & plant more grass in the bald spots
10. Take the cat to the vet for her 2nd round of shots
11. Hammer in the nails on the deck
12. Fill the gas tank for the grill & get a grill cover
13. Power wash the outside of the house, doors & windows
14. Put bricks in the ground where the gutter spout is (Right now it washes everything away when it rains hard. Which is like all the time this summer!)

So, Lee will NOT be bored in his short time of unemployment. He'll be begging to find a job!
