12. Write about what wears you out as a woman

Easy. Simple. One word: MEN

Men and women are SO different. Our brains work totally opposite and it drives me absolutely nuts! I'm not one to sit around and pretend I'm perfect, but the things guys can't do drive me crazy and it wears me out that I'm the only one in my house who can do these things. I've learned all the wonderful things that women can do that men can't while I've been living with Dane...here is a few:

1. Multitasking: what woman can't hold her baby while putting things into the diaper bag? Or talk on the cell phone and make dinner? Yesterday I asked Dane to pack the diaper bag (he was holding Slade) while I got ready. He said "I'm holding the baby." Yeah, I see that, now go pack the diaper bag! IT ISN'T THAT HARD! It pretty much drives me crazy that men can't multitask, and if you are a man and you can multitask, please come over and teach my husband how its done.
2. Organizing: ZERO organizational skills. At least once a month I have to organize Dane's closet & dresser. Maybe I'm a tad bit OCD...but doesn't he know it goes: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple, Pink (if your a girl), Grey, Black, Brown, White? With Long sleeves at the back since its Spring, and short sleeves in the front? When my sister came to visit she said "Dane color coordinates his closet? I can't even get Todd (her husband) to put his clothes away..." HA! nope, I do, because even if the doors are shut, I know what is behind them. If I have anything to do with it: organizied chaos.

Those may just be two little things, but it really wears me out that I feel like I'm the only one keeping our home organized and I'm the only one who can do two, or three things at once! I guess thats why men go to work, and women stay home and take care of the rest of the world....oh wait, its not 1950 anymore...silly me. Attention men: start thinking more like a woman. I'm tired!
