Me and my wife are about to celebrate our 10 Year Anniversary. We have actually been a couple for 17 years. Wow! We have had our share ups and downs, but I still love her today even more than when we first met. I know it sounds corny, but I don’t care I guess that’s what real love does to you. She is an awesome lady and in the past few weeks I realized that she is one of my hero’s. She is a necessity, a wonderful gift from God.

My wife is a stay at home mom and far too often the things she does go unnoticed. I just want to recognize the things she does on a daily basis. To fill my wife’s position you would need to be able to:

• Work in a chaotic group with diverse responsibilities and challenges.
• Take ownership of projects and see them through to completion.
• Possess great interpersonal skills and be adept at managing multiple projects and wearing a variety of hats.
• React with appropriate urgency and composure to situations and events that require quick response or turnaround.
• Manage highly sensitive or personal matters with tact and utmost confidentiality.
• Have strong organizational, planning, time management, project management, problem-solving, communication, and anticipatory skills.
• Set and prioritize one’s own work agenda and drive team progress in key areas by being detail oriented, and a strong team player in a busy and sometimes hectic environment.
• Change direction if needed in response to a fluctuating work environment;
• This position has frequent contact with all levels of internal and external customers and partners. 

You would need to have experience in the following areas:

• Administrations
• Secretary
• Chauffeuring
• Publics Relations
• Social work
• Accounting / Book Keeping
• Nursing / Health Care
• Child Care
• Teaching
• Ministry

Further more you would need to be on call 24 hours a day 7 days a week. You would get paid nothing and would rarely get a thank you unless it was on Mother’s Day. Outside of all of this you would need to be perfectly content with it.

Kristi Sue Mays, I could not do for one month what she has been doing for ten years. She means so much to me. She is my Wife. She is my 1st Love.  She is my Hero.

I will love her always and forever,
Eddie

• Why is it so hard to tell the truth but Yet so easy to tell a lie?
• Why are we so sleepy in church but Right when the sermon is over we suddenly wake up?
• Why is it so easy to delete a Godly e-mail, but yet we forward all of the nasty ones?

At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down finally, the guys' side of the story. (I must admit, it's pretty good.)  We always hear "the rules” From the female side. Now here are the rules from the male side. These are our rules!

• Men are NOT mind readers.
• Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.
• Sunday sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.
• Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.
• Crying is blackmail.
• Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work!  Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!
• Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
• Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
• A headache that lasts for 17 months is a Problem.  See a doctor.
• Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 Days.
• If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.
• If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.
• If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the   other one
• You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.
• Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials.
• Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.
• ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.
• If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.
• If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," We will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.
• If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.
• When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine. Really.
• Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as SEX, CARS, the shotgun formation, or BASKETBALL.
• You have enough clothes.
• You have too many shoes.
• I am in shape.  Round IS a shape!
• Thank you for reading this. Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight; but did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping.

Pass this to as many men as you can - to give them a laugh.
Pass this to as many women as you can - to give them a bigger laugh
