I have a Secret to share!!!!
Posted in Bionic Bubbe Miracle knee
Really! I can hardly believe it has taken me 35 years to share this secret, but here goes!
This morning in my Simple Woman's Day book I mentioned I would be mopping my floors today! I had said I had not done so since my knee surgery because my Beloved had taken on all of my duties. Slowly I have been regaining them and today I was determined to mop the floor!
So what did I discover? What is the secret???
If you want the best tools that actually do the job well, give the job to your husband!!!
Really that's the secret.
I went into the laundry room and picked up my mop only to discover I had a NEW mop! And not only was this a new sponge mop, it had a newly designed mop head that like your pot scrubbers has a teflon side (a whole side not just a little scruuber nob) that scrubs the floor and a spongy side to pick up the water.
I am in love! I did not have to explain why it would cost so much to buy this mop. I did not have to tell him how well conceived this idea was. He was mopping the floors , saw how inadequate the current mop was and got "Him" a new one!
As I am mopping the floor with this wonder mop (which I can not tell you the brand because I did not but it )0: , well as I was mopping the floor I thought back to other moments of such surprise. When I had my hysterectomy, I got new pots and pans. When my gallbladder came out, I got a new vacuum. It is pure genius! Why hadn't I seen this before!
Just look at your husband's tools! They are the best money can buy because in order to do the job right he needs the right tool. A man knows these things. However he does not give much thought to your "tools" because he does not consider them tools.Gregg Harris was the first man I ever heard bring this fact to light ( seems a hundred years ago) but it somehow got filed in the good things to remember file and stayed there! It is time to let it back out!
So today I am sharing it with you! I am not only please with my new mop, I am so in love with my husband right now!
Hee hee!

I wonder what he will replace after your other knee surgery? This is such a funny entry. I am glad you love your husband and your mop! And I am glad you feel well enough to use the mop, as well.

Your husband must be like mine. He does the same thing. If he does any of my jobs and finds my tools inadequate he replaces them. LOL When I had the baby in July he had to do laundry while I was off my feet. He all the sudden realized why my laundry wasn't kept up as well as he would like. So he started saving and got us a bigger washer and dryer. I laughed and asked him what I get next time I have a baby.
Happy mopping!

That's fabulous!!!!
My husband would have to laugh if he read this post though. We have this thing about mops. There was a period I kept buying new ones until I had quite a good collection. The problem was that I still needed to use them. Even the robot required work on my part...sigh!

Ooooo, how wonderful! The right tool makes all the difference, not just in how the job gets done, but in that the job gets done at all!! I often compare my house tools to my hubby's many manly tools, and he is always so wonderfully open-minded. I'm glad your hubby takes care of you, too!!!
Have a lovely week, and go give your wonderful dh a big hug and kiss. :)

My husband often says... 'the right tool for the right job!' It's hard to spend money on our 'tools', when there is other funner things to buy.
I had to buy a new dryer the other day...mine broke...not a fun item!
