Which wife are you?

This is a fun quiz.

I happen to be Anna of Cleves – and I would have to agree with the assessment!

Anna of Cleves got the royal shaft. She came all the way to England to become the fourth wife of Henry VIII. Once married to Anna, he refused to consummate the marriage, and called her the “Flanders Mare”. Talk about a burn, considering that by this time, Henry was the fattest man in England and had a rotting syphilis sore on his leg.

Anna was miffed, but she was too sensible to let it ruin her fun. She was given an annulment and a fat yearly allowance, and she threw extravagant parties and dined on delicacies for the rest of her life.

Sensible women rock!!!!

My theory has been proven true!!!!

I always thought that something was seriously wrong with me. I see these commercials (ok – always a danger to compare my life to those I see in commercials…but I digress) – and I see these so-with-it moms who have a beautiful home, a sparkling clean house, happy children who don't mouth back at them, who wear size 6 clothes, and hasn't seen a bad hair day in about 5 years – and I am in awe. I know people who are like that in real life too (well…except for the kids talking back to them part) and I just sometimes feel pretty inept as a member of the female species.

But finally….finally…I feel superior to them all!  HA!  I knew it…I knew it…I knew it…

All of these anti-bacterial soap users and anti-bacterial hand cleaner users…."No, Timmy, don't touch that door handle – it's been uuuused!!!!" types – HA! I feel vindicated!

A new study has just come out that proves that rats who live the dirty, stinky life are healthier….yes, healthier….than those rats that live in the cages of places where they…um….yeah….do studies. (Kind of like scientists doing experiments on themselves kind of thing…)

The idea is that it gives some scientific evidence that the increase we've seen in allergies and asthma is due to our obsession on overly clean environments. Living dirty (so to speak) helps build up the body's immune system throughout childhood so that we can fight off pollen, etc. 

See…I could have told these scientists all along – we were meant to run around in dirt – our bodies need us to run around in dirt….

…so much for cleaning the house this week!…out
