Hi LL,

Love your rants! Who says you "cannot get mad" over all of those things??? Not me! Go right ahead.

I think your H needs to prioritize a bit. Okay so the work is really heavy this time of year. Granted. But your own yard...come on! Is it really so decrepit that he has to be out there every evening???

OMG LL, he should come and have a gander at our yard. We're proud to just have raked most of it so far!

When you get back from your trip (much needed, and I can sooo relate to the stress and anxiety of pulling it together...are there really people who can just throw a few things into a suitcase and take off, worry free? Yes there are, my BIL is one of them...lucky bastard!)

Why not just have a 'lil negotiation. How about one or two nights a week when the yard just "breathes". And LL and kids get more H time?

Just a thought.

P.S. DO model the bathing suits...no expectations, just plant the seed...he knows other guys will be seeing you in them, right?
