My husband is fabulous. Not only does he work like a dog - often putting in 9 to 12 hour days at work - we'll often find him still doing things here around the house plus being active in church in the middle of his crazy schedule. Phew - I'm tired just typing it.
However, there are some things that loom on the "honey do" list. Here are 5 of them. I'm listing 5 because I'm participating in a blogging adventure for ServiceLive.com over at TwitterMoms (find out more by clicking here and here) and thought it sounded fun.
I don't type this to complain - I wouldn't be able to do half the stuff my husband does on a regular day, let alone what he can cram into a busy day. I'm thankful for what he DOES - and how willing he is to do more. Thanks sweetie!
So here they are - the 5 (not so important) things on the list that seem to never get scratched, checkmarked or just ... done:
1. The garage door code thingie fixed. We put one of those numbered pads on the garage door shortly after we moved in the house and 6 months later it pooped out. We've been here 3 years now. It's still pooped!
2. Driveway sealcoated. Part of our drive is gravel which is fine but I know hubs would like it if the whole thing was paved (it definitely would make it easier to snow blow in winter!) This just isn't a priority money or time wise right now, but it's on the list.
3. Gutters replaced and/or covered. We live with lots of trees around and consequently our gutters are full of leaves and muck. We clean them out but we need a new set of gutters. Again, money and time keep pushing this one down on the "later" list.
4. Tree mulching. Along with all those trees on our property we have lots of tree trimming and, so, a lot of branches that need to be mulched. Each year the branch stack just gets higher. So this “honey do” would require renting a bigger mulcher and spending a good few days with earplugs in chomping up branches. The side benefit is we'd have a nice pile of mulch to keep the weeds down!
5. High window washing. Again, 3 years in the house and the higher up windows are in desperate need of a good washing. This isn't an easy job and one that keeps getting put off until later because they really don't look that bad. I have a feeling it'll be on the list for quite a while.
None of these things are pressing and/or urgent but are definitely needs. Someday. Maybe. Someday. :)
