A Running Tab of Why It's Tough to be a Guy

12.25.2011


       It happens. You're either the punching bag, the shrink, the purse rack, the bug exterminator, or sometimes the "you don't understand" guy. This is a daily reminder for myself on how lucky of a wife I am and a gift to my better half for always proving that "Love is patient, Love is kind". These are the crazy things that "we" (as in mom and daughter) will say or expect from our men... WE LOVE YOU!!!
