Spent today ripping out a bunch of grass infested with weeds I had killed. This is in preparation for sod I am installing next week.
Even with all the recent rain, it is pretty hard work and the heat and humidity here don't make it any easier. I finally finished up what

Evolution of a marriage...
Engaged:. Helps and wants a quickie in the garage
Newly wed:. Brings drinks out, lingerie when you come in after finishing.
5 years:. Drinks and an offer to help later after the kids are down for a nap
10 years: Sends kids out with drinks and a snack, which they share with you.
15 years:. Sends unhappy kids out with drinks, a snack (that they eat so you never see it) and had been told to help you. They act bitchy so you don't want them to help.
20 +.years: You drink from the hose and ingest all sorts of pathogens. Any snacks would be leftovers from the center console of your car. Wife naps.
