Non-stereotypical

Joke:
Q: "What's a husband's idea of doing housework?"
A: "Sitting on the couch and picking up his feet so the wife can vacuum under him."

I have heard this joke before and thought about it last night as this actually happened. Darrell was sitting on the couch reading a magazine, and he picked up his feet so I could vacuum.

Someone passing by the window probably would have thought "Geez, what a lazy guy!" But on the contrary, Darrell is NOT a lazy guy. He always gets up early and works hard all day long. It's a rare occasion when he gets to "take it easy." Prior to sitting on the couch, he was up on the roof doing repair, then he put in a little fence between our yard & the neighbor's yard, and later helped put the kids to bed.

I'm thankful for such a wonderful "go-get-'er" husband. If anyone knows him you'll know that he doesn't quite "fit the mold" of the typical man. He's "just Darrell" if you know what I mean. That's why I love him.

Hey Heather, How are you guys doing? I know exactly what you mean. My husband is the same way. I love and hate it at the same time. Things always get done though, which is so nice. You gotta love a handy man!!
