Was your husband home at the time?
Umm, no, but I have done it when he was home, too! :)
Oh, and with the shoveling and lawn mowing — yep, done while he was at home too. We usually make a deal — kind of like “switching jobs” sometimes. If I do the lawn for instance, he will cook dinner for us. It works out well that way for us. I get a little break from the mundane aspect of repetitive housework, and he gets the “easier” job.
Anyway, since he hurt his back it’s not like I can let him shovel anymore anyway, so maybe I shouldn’t have included that job... It’s a little different when one person isn’t physically able (or the risk is too great to them) to do a specific chore and the other “picks up the slack”. That’s when things are done just out of love, and/or the fact that it needs to be done.
