I used to try to do it all and did a pretty decent job of it, ran my own secretarial business, baseball for son and daughter, Girl Scouts, church, VBS, sewing, etc., etc., but when age and arthritis caught up with me my husband calls me lazy because I can't do it all anymore. My fault. Now I leave the housework to him, it bothers him more than me if the apt. isn't magazine picture perfect, I sew, quilt, read, pamper my kitty TJ, and do what I can. I figure since he can't drive - I have to do it all-even when I'm in a lot of pain - and he doesn't have arthritis in his back, hips, knees, ankles, feet, plus fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis, that he can do it. I think it's only fair, but not to hear him tell it. Men!!!
