1. We have to hire someone to replace the broken tile in our bathroom and replace the grout that our silly little Maltese keeps EATING. Yeah, that is basically like eating concrete - go figure! 2. We have to hire someone to come 3. We have to hire someone to replace the PIPE the 4. We have to hire someone to repair the drywall, in the bathroom that needs a new tile and new grout (because the dog ate it) because, the man we hired to fix the leak cut out my ceiling - but "doesn't do dry wall". 5. We have to hire someone to paint the repaired ceiling in the bathroom that needs a new tile and new grout (you know why) just because we simply suck at painting. Sorry honey, I know you hate that "S" word,but it really does fit there. 6. We have to hire someone to repair the deck, because the Decorative Posts we were so proud of are rotting right off the darn deck. So much for beauty. 7. We have to hire someone to caulk anything that needs caulking because, Y'all this man cannot caulk pretty to save his life. So to save our marriage, he is just not allowed! (just kidding, I actually do the caulking myself).;D 8. We have to hire someone to repair the outdoor lighting, because he cut a cable when he was doing - "yard work". 9. We have to hire someone to do the yard work (How/when he cut that cable, I'll never know. Obviously, he was outside pretending! 10. We have to hire someone to replace the gutters. I know, I know, everybody hires that done. I'm on a roll, so I just can't cut him any slack. 11. We have to hire people to fix the things that he suddenly decided he could fix- NOT. 12. We have to hire someone to groom our Maltese. Okay, I just threw that one in - she does get more hair do's than me though! 13. We have to hire a computer genius to work on our computers all the time, but that is really because of my electro-magnetic-computer destroying thingy that I have going on. Okay, Okay. Seriously, we do have to hire out all of that. BUT. My hubby is the greatest hubby,father and grandfather ever. We don't have to hire out for a spiritual leader of our household. He gets up at 5:30 every morning to cover his family and household in prayer. He studies his Bible every morning in order to know and serve our Father better. I could go on and on. He's a keeper!

I love how you have "lovingly complained" about him! I have a NOT Mr. Fix-it at my house too! I love him anyway!

Juegos - HUH?

We do a lot of our own fixing around the house - sometimes it just takes a while to get to it - lol....
Thank you for stopping by my T13. I'll add your link as soon as I can.:) - yeah I still do the manualy linky too *grin*

I live with Mr. Fix it. He could be the one your hire to come fix all those things. He's helped build 2 homes (approx 3000 sq feet, neither one ours) from ground up as well as refinished homes we've lived in.
Sometimes I just wish we could hire out to have more time together, get it done already... but then the money we save is incredible! And you said it best!
"We don't have to hire out for a spiritual leader of our household" Same here. I wouldn't trade that for ANYTHING!!!

We are not the Fix-it type here. But he more than makes up for it!!! I think Caulking is HARD! Loved your list, it was cute. I did one this week.
Posted by: Addie | March 30, 2006 at 10:11 AM
Faith, I'm not kidding. If I lived anywhere near you, I'd be over there in a jiffy to help out.
When hubby was deployed for a year, I didn't know many people to help me, too afraid to have strangers in the house (who would figure out I was alone). I learned A LOT that year. When hubby came home, we put in a half bath addition, learned more. Not because we're smart, but because we're too cheap to hire someone. ;)
Thanks for visiting my T13!

That is the sweetest ever! And so funny! But your last paragraph sums him up perfectly - I loved reading that - what a keeper indeed! :) I just posted mine - hope I did it right... :)
Posted by: Kate | March 30, 2006 at 10:13 AM
I'm no Spanish expert, but it appears your comment says something like this...
Play the Casino: then something about a casion game that is first in it's class and has perfection in the game design of Casino 3D. This new game is classified superior and is above all others in the world.
I'm with you, HUH? Even when you somewhat understand what is trying to be said... it's still HUGH? Why was that left here???
Posted by: momrn2 | March 30, 2006 at 10:28 AM
WHOA... excuse the spelling errors.. Evidently my brain has trouble with convertng written Spanish to English... so.
Casion: (line 3) should be casino
HUGH?: (last line) should be HUH?
:-)

momrn2 - thanks for that deciphering (sp). At first, I was flattered when I saw it , but then I saw the word casino and got freaked out. I have no idea why someone would leave that here!
Posted by: Faith | March 30, 2006 at 10:37 AM
Great list! MY TT ARE UP! :)
Posted by: Susan | March 30, 2006 at 11:19 AM
That list cracked me up. My daddy's not a Mr. Fix It either. Honestly... I think I can fix more things in my house than he can. But boy can he bake ;)
(And I love what you wrote at the end. He is a wonderful husband. You are blessed!)
Happy T13! Thanks for stopping by!
Posted by: Kimmy | March 30, 2006 at 01:00 PM
Funny 13! I think you're fortunate though. I'd rather have a good Christian man than a Mr. Fix-it any day!
Posted by: Heather | March 30, 2006 at 01:27 PM
Heather - Oh, I'd much rather have a christian man than a mr. fix-it or anything else for that matter. I'm blessed indeed.
Chaotic mom - girl, I wish you did live near me, I do appreciate the thought though.
Posted by: Faith | March 30, 2006 at 01:42 PM
Okay ... first of all... there's just something about seeing the abreviation TT that gets me into a fit of teenaged giggles...
Next ... See? I knew I loved you for more reasons than I've already discovered ... I have a maltese too! And, man! I have to keep her clipped short because she loves to roll in the grass (not taking a guess at to what she's rolling in -- don't wanna know) and she gets taaaan-ggled. What a mess!
Finally -- you got hit by a spam thing -- one of those comments that go out to a gazillion people. That's where word verification comes in handy.
Pretty much, it says...

Well, I don't even have a hubby to help me call someone, so there ya go! :) I have to battle things like spiders all by myself. My cat is useless. :)
Posted by: Carmen | March 30, 2006 at 02:50 PM
Mine is a Mr. HalfWay Fixit or perhaps a Part Time Fixer LOL he can do some -not all. Cute list. My 13 is up.
Posted by: TNChick | March 30, 2006 at 02:57 PM
Our husband are VERY similar, aren't we the blessed ones!!! :)
Posted by: Lauren | March 30, 2006 at 04:40 PM
Thank you so much for the kind and encouraging words you left on my blog.
Posted by: Carrie K. | March 30, 2006 at 04:47 PM
Hey Mom:
At least I can say that I get my "Mr. Not-Fix-It" honest. I nearly blew up the law office attempting to hang a chandelier in my office. Cost me $250 to have someone come in and put the stupid thing up. Can I send the bill to Dad?
Thanks for the genes...
Posted by: SLS | March 30, 2006 at 04:53 PM
My hubby does handyman work for a living, so people like you keep him busy...lol! My 13 are up :)
Posted by: Karin | March 30, 2006 at 05:04 PM
Sounds like you've got all the important things covered for free. Everything else is just trivial. Thanks for stopping by my TT. Happy Thursday!
Posted by: Lisa | March 30, 2006 at 06:14 PM
What a great find our site is! I had a good chuckle over your list. HOWEVER, even worse is a husband who thinks he's Mr. Fix-it and insists on doing it himself. Better to have a man who knows better. :-)
Posted by: Amber | March 30, 2006 at 06:25 PM
Well at least your husband had the important things covered. My husband is trying to learn to be a Mr Fixit as well...but like your husband he isn't there yet. I think though it's because we're young...we haven't had much opportunity yet to "fix" things up! :)
Posted by: Kristina | March 30, 2006 at 08:54 PM
great list...haha...I am married to a plumber/landscaper...guess who mows the lawn??? and what never gets fixed in our house???
my TT is up
