How do you manage your "Honey do lists" and your "Car time"

What is a "Honey do list"

To translate it simply...... "Honey..... can you fix this...... Honey, while you are at it, can you do that.  Oh, and I almost forgot, the day you planned on doing your own stuff like working on the charger, mowing the lawn, fixing the leaking roof, etc all has to be put on the back burner because I want this picture hung somewhere in the house."

and it is a WHOLE DAMN DAY cause usually it has to go somewhere somehting else already is  THEN you get to move TAHT item to the next spot

No, you got it all wrong, that picture she wants hung up just doesnt look right on that wall..... lets try it on this wall.....no, just doesnt look right there either,...... lets try the opposite wall...no, just doesnt look right there either,.....  try the other wall..... no, i dont know...  just a minute i'm going to call my mom and see what she thinks....

Yup, now you just added to the honey do list because of all the holes in the walls now that you put there from putting an anchor, or nail, or whatever.  Now that means spackling, sanding, respackling to fill low spots, sanding again, and then repainting.       It never ends.......  kinda like starting a resto project.   Its one big snow ball that just keeps getting bigger the more it rolls down the hill!

no, no, no,  i thought THAT part was a given, you still have to move what WAS on that wall to another wall, and so the dieing begins all over again

The honey do list in my house is left to weekends. I try to do most of the things, but being vertically challenged  , there are things I need Chucks help with. I never really nag,... i dont think. But I do understand his need to tinker with a car, play his guitar, whatever. He never needs my permission,......permission is for kids!    We all need our special time to relax and do something fun!!!!

I guess winter is a good time to take care of the honey doos.  ripped out 8 tiles from the shower this morning and laid new tiles, and grouted them, too bad the tiles don't quite match...lol.  at least its fixed until i can have the whole wall done right. 

With 3 cars to work on there never seems to be time to get everything done to all 3, know what i want to do, just have trouble working through the car projects.  One small piece at a time i guess is better than no progress at all.

I've learned that if I just take her list on and get it done...........Well, happy wife = happy life.
