I need a man!!!

I'd like to think of myself as a liberated woman... not needing a man to get along in life and whatnot. Well, after tonight I say forget it!

Sunday is trash night, and laundry night, and the general time in which the house should be put in order for the upcoming week. I've done laundry - no real drama there. I scooped kitty poop- which I absolutely hate doing since its smelly and makes me feel a little ill - but I did it. I collected all the trash from the bathrooms, the kitchen, and the laundry area (so much lint).

Then I went out to the garage to put it in the can to drag to the curb. Now I admit, it's been a few weeks since we've put the trash out. We just don't produce that much trash. It's been in the garage for two weeks - because we got a little reminder from the HOA (a newsletter, really, but that reminder was on the front page) that the trash cans should be in the garage.

Well I lifted off the lid and a SWARM of flies flew up and scared the ever loving you-know-what out of me. And it was gross... I mean I know what flies do with trash. Ick ick ick. So I slammed the lid back down on the can, dragged it VERY quickly to the curb, and found giant black plastic bags in which to put the rest of the trash,

EEEEEEWWWWWW. I abhor taking the trash out. That is the man's job and I am not too proud to scream it from the mountains. Men are necessary to kill bugs, fix things, and take out the trash! So, since DH isn't around, I'll just have to find an ersatz husband who can perform these household duties.

My skin is still crawling. EEEEWWWW.
