    Nah I kinda like this one, it seems to be a long term lease agreement. The last few it was more like taking turns and it don't sit well with me.

    Tell ya what tho it keeps getting goofy and I'll take 6months off like I did the other year

    Buy a Riding lawnmower, then she will cut the grass. And have time to paint. I didn't paint or cut the grass. Thats why you have kids and a woman

    To see the kids, sleep next to a warm body, home cooking,. The house you paid for. Watch your kids play baseball, his first high school football game. You are there to buy your kids first car. Enjoy what you are working for. Enjoy it, don't just go home to be a handy man.
