I have tried to convince myself of this since I was a child. Now, as an adult living with four sticky children, "a wanna be full-time farmer" husband, and a sometimes sticky dog, I still don't believe it.

Don't Question My Love
All anyone needs to know is that not one negative word was released from my lips after my farmer husband hauled a load of beans to the elevator today and did this to my yard:
Oh my. Were you able to keep from uttering a word because of the wine bottle planted firmly in your mouth? ;) That would've worked for me. Most definitely. Oh my.
Good job. I know that must have been difficult...I have been really working on controlling my tongue more and trying to use my words encourage and build up. I fail at times because I am so easily irritated...which then makes me realize it is my own stubborn heart and it is a heart issue that I need to deal with. It is not what my husband did that is the problem...it is my own sinfulness.
I am right there with you! : )
Just think about all the hard work your husband did to have that many beans to carry off!
I hope your yard will get back to normal soon! I like the idea of a new driveway!
A runner's creed: I will win; if I cannot win, I shall be second; if I cannot be second, I shall be third; if I cannot place at all, I shall still do my best.
Death is beautiful when seen to be a law, and not an accident - It is as common as life. ~Henry David Thoreau, 11 March 1842, letter to Ralph Waldo Emerson
As a child I would sit on my hands, palm side up, to try to get the sticky off them. This was especially important to do after eating an orange. Then in the next breath I would pour Elmer's glue all over my palm, spread it thinly, and wait for it to dry. Once it was dry I would carefully peel it off and then bury it in the flower pot outside. I've learned to use soap and warm water, my oldest son has a fascination with glue, I still can't find pants that "fit", I would like to burn all socks and bras (except of course those that I wear to run), and if I didn't run everyday I would need to be medicated, heavily, with either Prozac or chocolate. Then I really would have a difficult time finding pants that fit.

Congratulations. Maybe you can add a second driveway there, then it wouldn't be noticeable. Or...a muddy slip n slide.
Maybe you could plant more beans?!
Oh my God I would f!@#ing kill him!!!
