A View From the Bridge

You can see the NYC from the Tappen Zee Bridge. I usually don't look out the window because I get motion sickness. But the quick glance it was spectacular. Not as good as the view from Brooklyn. That's "so close yet so far away". This view is "far away yet so close".

I'm deep into reading "To Hell with All That". While I'm reading it I want to wear a t-shirt that says "I'm also reading "Bitchfest" . I think she makes a lot of valid points. In fact, I can think of one that is covered in this blog. To be a good Mom one must be a social secretary to the children. To be a good wife one must have a clean house. Those reasons alone made me go back to work.

So what exactly is a good wife / good husband / good marriage. On a scale from 1-5 with 5 being the highest I will ask. As for the good husband - I give him a 4+ . I think I'd get a 3-. He not only makes more than I do. He cleans more than I do. And does more childcare than I do. He also builds things, mows the lawn (although I sometimes do that.) He's super human.

It's really just division of labor. I'm much better at doing nothing. I don't even like to shop. Oh there is one thing I take responsibility - food and the kitchen. We eat healthy. I like to know what I'm eating and, therefore, make things from scratch.
