Hello lurkers! I'm sorry I haven't visited blog land in the last few months. Even though I'm on the computer constantly, blogging feels like "work" some days, instead of mindless clicking :)

Right when I came back to work after the wedding, the cafe manager came up to me and told me this statistic he heard. When a couple gets married, a man's work load drops an hour while a woman's gains 7 hours. I swear to god this is true too. Granted, Nick usually works 10+ more hours a week than I do, and he earns a little bit more, but is that really reason for me to do a majority of our chores? While we've never discussed it, I feel like we've fallen into those traditional Husband and Wife roles. Part of this has to do with me and my ridiculous control issues. Sometimes I'll get Nick to do the dishes, but the entire time I'm next to him telling him how I like it done and what works best. Why can't I be happy that he's doing it? Where did this 'my way or the highway' attitude come from? Its silly, and I'm trying to be more aware of it. I'm also trying to get Nick to be more aware of all the work I do around the house so I can get him to chip in more, right or wrong way :)
