Men Will Be Men

Well, I'm doing my part to help the economy.

I kind of guilted myself into it. You walk into Mister Man's room, and you get cold this time of year. Actually, last winter we put up one of those films to hold in the heat and umm the wind comes through his window so much that it blew the film off the window. We then taped it back on with packing tape. That blew off, too.

Yep, we're getting new windows. A lot of new windows. A lot of new windows that cost way too much money. But we have to do it.

Today, they replaced the window in our bathroom. And since they haven't totally finished yet, the blinds are still off the window. When my husband walked upstairs, he asked how we were taking showers this morning.

Given that I was in the process of trying to put the wee ones to bed myself, I suggested he find a solution. Me, I would have found something that held up a sheet -- like maybe a tall broom and a rake or something along those lines. Maybe some duct tape, with a follow up of Goo Gone once the blinds went back up.

A few moments later, I heard hammering.

I ran in to check what was being hammered, and I discovered that my husband had already put two nails into the new windowframe. And was in the process of putting in a third. They were to hold up a sheet.

At least he got the sheet right. But my first day with new windows and they already have nail holes in them. Men!
