The scribblings of my life as I transition from a DONK (Dog Owner No Kids) to a..... DOK.
A little bit about daily life, dogs, pregnancy and now motherhood.

Chores No More

Well, not really. But, my ability to bend down without straining has hindered my ability to do certain chores. Kevin is the HAPPY recipient of one of these that I have given up. Picking up the Doggie doo doo. Due to my big baby belly he can't really say 'no' or complain. There were a couple of reasons I wanted to give up this chore.... 1) It is Hot in backyard 2) Nashville is the home to all kinds of bugs that love to live in poo in the summer (including weird red spiders). When there are things squiggling inside the poo bag it creeps me out and 3) It is soo soo soo much work to bend down over and over again. I'm a stickler for picking it up every day if not twice a day... I don't want to even give the dogs a chance to step in it and drag it inside, plus it is just cleaner that way. Kevin probably wouldn't be quite this adamant, but unfortunately for him he has to follow my Doody rules. It is kind of like how he can't let a bill sit on the counter unpaid for more than 24 hours, it drives him crazy. Let's see what are some other things Kevin gets to do now... take out the stinky trash - my super sniffer can barely handle it. Vacuum under stuff that is hard to reach since I can't really bend down and get to it nowadays. He gets to vacuum the stairs too, which he really enjoys! He sometimes is my robot at night and gets me stuff once I sit down (remote, more water, other super important stuff) - it is just so much easier and quicker if he just hops up and does it. Beyond those things, I think he has gotten off pretty easy.
