But things may change. Nothing wrong with using curtains as bed sheets and vice versa.<br /><br />Marathon Princess, interested research project your husband has there! I'll have to watch for related results. Please come to Denmark to do your ophthalmology clinical hours! It would be so fun. The people in my department are so nice. I know you're probably not serious, but just send an email if you are :).<br /><br />Helen, oh trust me that transfer of very little knowledge is going to happen as soon as possible. Natali has already learned many of the essentials, such as setting the table and bathing The Lorax. And The Lorax has learned to pick up after himself and even use a rag to wipe his spot clean.

Cleaning, well that is a another issue :) My husband, the biologist, is with you on kids needing a little dirt to help build the immune system, his latest question is is it also helps in cancer prevention in a small way.<br />Oh, and to finish my PhD I need to do clinical hours in opthalmology, can I come hang out with you? Kidding, but would probably make the hours a little more interesting.Coach Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12110749177657676900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-87967509140610837382010-05-04T17:36:23.376+02:002010-05-04T17:36:23.376+02:00I'd send you my recipe for spaghetti sauce, bu...I'd send you my recipe for spaghetti sauce, but the continuous skimming off of fat would probably make you retch.<br /><br />I get to claim bachelorhood for my domestic slovenliness, but I also have to admit I scrubbed my bathroom just before the plumber came during an emergency to disguise the worst of it - and it then just looked like it needed scrubbing. I've gotten better over the years; inmy youth, I though curtains and bedsheets were interchangeable.<br /><br />I have 15 cardboard boxes filled with just running t-shirts. Can't throw them away.SteveQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16943650844671498074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-85064948067261537322010-05-04T17:34:26.998+02:002010-05-04T17:34:26.998+02:00Malene, oh, just what I needed: another excuse!

It is just a condiment Natali likes to add to everything, including spaghetti sauce. And I can assure you she would fish out any spinach I added, painstakingly.<br /><br />Oh and Diana, she actually likes the carrots peeled. Maybe that's waht you meant, but you know, I just had to set the record straight.sea legs girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782712411873234071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-2021159576841053652010-05-04T16:02:16.253+02:002010-05-04T16:02:16.253+02:00I think I read somewhere that there are a lot of n...I think I read somewhere that there are a lot of nutrients in the outer layers of a carrot, so it's better to keep them unpeeled. If Natali likes them unpeeled, can you ask her to help you peel them? It can save you some time and teach her a valuable skill. Plus, you get the added bonus of together time in the kitchen.<br /><br />I hope you don't get too frustrated that you aren't totally amazing at everything in your life. Besides, being good at domestic tasks is overrated. This is coming from someone who obsessively cleans and organizes, by the way.<br /><br />Looks like everyone enjoyed the spaghetti.

I am not the most dedicated domestic housecleaner around...I have trained Brett to put up with a few crumbs on the floor and I avoid vacuuming whenever possible. I don't separate whites from colours in the wash (figure if its cold water I shouldn't have to). But I have been working on my culinary skills a lot lately, it's kind of fun!cherellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13643258879501877022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-43226964993815383062010-05-04T15:10:15.815+02:002010-05-04T15:10:15.815+02:00I agree about peeling vegetables, especially carro...I agree about peeling vegetables, especially carrots. I used to love eating carrots "Bugs Bunny style" unpeeled and whole!<br /><br />Great job on the domestic PR, although is that ketchup on the table being used as spaghetti sauce? <br /><br />I wonder if Natali would accept a bit of spinach in the spaghetti?

They know better to complain.<br />I think importance of domestic skills is vastly overrated but I for one wish mine were better. It would take me less time to do anything in the house. <br />BTW, I am 52 and I am far, very far from being a good housewife. I figure (hope) I make up for it in other areas.Ewahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17005438284707424779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-5389982411287920192010-05-04T13:24:08.070+02:002010-05-04T13:24:08.070+02:00Hilarious!Hilarious!mmmonykahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09703551248084847150noreply@blogger.com
