[quote] Ladies, don't you think getting out there and doing that "man's work" is a great stress relief? Even though you might be cursing the whole time, it feels so good to accomplish what you set out to do, even if it takes all day. It usually leaves you exhausted so you sleep better, too.[quote]

Yes, I completely agree. Actually, I would much rather mow and edge the yard than clean the house. If I ever get my finances straightened out I may hire a maid to do the house cleaning and do the yard myself. I find it theraputic, especially since sometimes I imagine my stbx lying in the yard and i just MOW RIGHT OVER HIM! It's great! Not that I would REALLY do such a thing, but sometimes it helps me feel better. And no, the doctor says I'm not crazy. Just depressed.
