Confession #1 Yard Work

I would rather mow grass than clean the house.  Why?  For one, it scores me points with all the other husbands in the neighborhood.  They ask their wives, why can't you mow the yard like so and so does.  Two, really, how hard is it?  You walk (or ride) behind a self-propelled lawn mower.  No one is tugging on your leg wanting attention or making more messes as you're trying to clean.  Three, it counts as exercise.  Yes, even if you're riding!  Those NASCAR drivers are called athletes so why can't a lawn mower driving mama?!
