I love my Mechanic!

Josh is a mechanic a.k.a. auto service technician, greasemonkey, wrencher....ect. I never know what Josh likes his "title" to be. :)

Anyway I do love my mechanic but let me tell you why I don't love him....

- My rug at our back door that I refuse to pay more than $5.00 for has a black grease stain on it from his boots. We have a boot tray that they sit in when he is not wearing them, but the simple walking in the door and taking them off leaves a huge black mark on my rug that will not come out! I only buy brown rugs from TJ max for this reason.

- There are hand prints everywhere! I usually know where he has been and sometimes wonder how or why he touched something like the baseboards.... but I know he did from the black smudges that are left behind. I am condsidering buying Mr. Clean Magic Eraser stock because I use them so much! I don't know what I would do without them.

- We have an industrial size tub of Goop in our shower because regular soap won't get the grease off. He also has permenatley stained forearms and hands/fingernails. I've only seen them clean when we go up north for the weekend and he is in the water everyday. Our wedding pictures should be interesting! :)

- Even though Josh showers and scrubs every night before he goes to bed, you can still tell which side of the bed he sleeps on if you pulled back the covers. There is a "haze" of grey on his side of the bed. I have a new understanding for the word "clean". I also have decided that we will never own white sheets, or any other light color for that matter.

- If I have to wash Josh's work clothes because he forgot to take them to work to be cleaned, I then have to clean my washer out. Who would have thought you'd clean your washer after you just cleaned your clothes?! When we own a home I think I will buy a used washer and put it in the garage for his work clothes only. I can also see this coming in handy if we have children that also like to be dirty.

Yes I love my mechanic very much and can't imagine life without him. He can fix anything, and I mean anything....he is just mechanically inclined. I have however learned why his mother got so annoyed when he came in the house after working in the garage. She now laughs at my cleaning stories.

Gotta love my mechanic!
