I Rest My Case

I am only posting this because this past weekend Ben and I went to Nick and Kelly's house to visit. While we were there Ben complained how I never use the wood burning stove to heat the house. Well, last night when Ben got home from work he joked about the nice fire I had going to heat the house. Of course there was no fire but we then continued to argue about why there wasn't. I said that I would be happy to make fires if Ben would not allow the bucket that holds the ashes underneath to overflow making a huge mess everywhere that I have to clean with the shop vac because when he cleans it with the regular vacuum it clogs the hose and I have to unscrew everything to clean it out. He said that was pure lies and that I always let it overflow. However, I have researched this issue and have found that after 2 fires the bucket should be emptied while he says that after 3 fires it is still fine.

This morning, being the good wife I am, I went to start a fire. First I checked the bucket and this is what I found. My husband left this for me after his last 3 fires and I believe this proves my point.











So now you all know that I spent the morning cleaning my living room because there was dust everywhere from the overflowing bucket of ashes. So I took it out to dump it and then hauled the huge shop vac from the garage to the living room to clean it all up. Then I had to vacuum the floors and dust everything that now had a film of dust on it. So Kim, Mom or Dad - I need a mini shop vac for Christmas...because we all know that even though I am right Ben will continue to be wrong.

Love - Kori

I don't think you should be doing this anyway, I'm going to have a talk with Benjamin Baim!! (It does remind me of the good ole days, though, when we heated the farmhouse with the wood burner. Wonderful smell and wonderful heat but a lot of work for your dad and you girls and a mess to clean up when the ash drawer was full!!)

Is that in your livingroom??? YUCK!! Ben should empty it after each fire!!
By the way, why don't you ever return calls???? Heather has even called me to find out if you were still alive because she has called you and you don't return her calls either. I just told her that you don't return mine either and I assume you're still alive.

Love you,
Aunt Gail

I am sorry that I do not return calls, I just forget. I will work on that!!!

She forgets to return calls, but doesn't forget when somebody else doesn't return her call!
Ha!
I, and I believe most other wives too, have been in similar situations with the spouse. Is it a who's right/who's wrong war? I wish we could avoid it; wouldn't our lives be ideal!

I also need to comment on the previous post as I was unaware of everybody's new flooring! JEALOUS!! I'm ready for the green/gold shag and the gold lenolium (sp?) in my house to find it's way out the door.
It all looks great! Maybe while all of my brothers-in-law are up here for Thanks-Christmas, we could get all of my floors done! Sounds great! That's a plan! You'll have nothing else to do since we don't have snow plows and we're so cold up here!
