March Madness reflection

A brief moment of insight today…

March Madness has hit our house.  The husband is OBSESSED with college basketball.  There are currently 3 jumbo brackets in our tv room.  All televisions are tuned to basketball and our entire life is revolving around game times and match ups.  He even saves his personal days from work so he can take off and not miss a single game.

I love March Madness and I am in a pool and know a bit about college hoops.  But in watching the dynamic in our house, I have this observation:

Women watch March Madness (or anything on tv really) and we manage to do the laundry, balance our checkbooks, play a game with the kids, do some online shopping, supervise homework, do the dishes, catch up on email and even write a blog.

Men watch madness and manage a grunt and a scratch.  If they are feeling super productive, they do down a beer and some chips.

I’ve asked my husband why he can’t be a bit more productive and his standard response is “I might miss something.”  With numerous working Tivo’s in our house, I just don’t buy it.

My feeling and insight today… women just rock and are the ultimate multi-taskers.

Now women, go relax a bit and let the housework go for a while.  I am going to go emulate my husband and watch some hoops and hope my bracket looks good at the end of the day.
