Of course, I always miss J. terribly, but especially so when it comes to husband jobs. Like squashing spiders, and taking out the trash on Mondays…and unclogging pipes. Must add to growing list of Things Not To Cram Down Garbage Disposal: Item #3 – gummy macaroni noodles.
Anyway, I actually took a pic of the pipes I took apart to prove to J. I had to do icky things, too (okay, so its not quite as meaningful or stressful as training hundreds of Iraqi soldiers in the cold, desolate desert and mud, but it’s still worth noting).
…then I took a pic to show that my girly french manicure survived. Even got a compliment on them today.

I remember my mother having to do this kind of thing around the house when my dad was on TDY. Sounds like you have the makings of a real military wife.

Oh, and in case you’re wondering, the first two items on that list are:
#1: Sweet potato peels
#2: No, really, sweet potato peels
(yes, I managed to get these stuck in the disposal twice)
