Pushing, Grunting, Sweating

And I am not talking about labor. I just shoveled our driveway for the 5th time (compared to my husband's 1). I am not sure how I became the snow shoveler. I don't mind it usually but today it was tough. The snow was heavy, there were drifts to deal with and even when it was finished it didn't look finished to me. While I was busy building my muscles my man was washing dishes. So how do you split the chores? Who shovels at your house?

I absolutely do NOT shovel. Though I could, can and have...I prefer the INDOOR chores during the winter.
The morning I had to dig my car out after Bob left...sigh. It took a half hour and I was SWEATY afterwards. Not a good look for dropping off the kid at school...all stanky.

I didn't use to shovel (b/c I was always pregnant/dealing with newborn). Guess I need to think about getting knocked up...

I don't mind shoveling! And I have been known to shovel while being pregnant. I love the exercise and the fresh air, but I think you can over do it!
You guys must have gotten a lot of snow. We hardly got any down this way.
