It's been awhile!
When hubby is home, we’re so busy. He left for awhile, I’ll now get to bed on time. The first few day’s he only found 1 expired salad dressing. The last day he tore son #5's room completely apart. Everything out of every drawer and out of the closet and bookshelf. son #5 tried on clothes until he was blue.
I think this is part of ruler of your domain, King of your Castle, kind of thing.
Hmmm, maybe that stack of pants on the top shelf where he can’t reach them, is for him to grow into, thus …. Already, um, organized! I just let him have at it and guess what? He didn’t finish. So I have a hall full of stuff. He left only enough hangers in his closet for what was hung …. And took them all to a downstairs empty closet. Oh, except when I finished the wash I had to make two trips downstairs for hangers!!!!
It’s funny now but not then. Geez.
There is a reason they work outside the home. I’m a firm believer men provide for the family, have domain over the outside of the house and it’s upkeep, the garage, their car and storage room. Oh and if they can, they can cook the meat. (hunt it and kill it too for all I care.)
If they were to organize a kitchen, the pancake turner would be in a cupboard across the room from the stove.
Oh and they are definitely in charge of pine wood derby cars.
Actually, I’m only saying what I wish were true.
I have made all 5 of the pinewood derby cars. My dad tried to help with the last one but when he put the axel in the wood broke so we had to use son #4's car (which I made) and dad drilled holes in the bottom and filled them with lead to bring it up to weight. Son #4 came in toward the bottom and son #5 came in 2nd of 13 boys’. So, I had some help this year. They didn’t even re-paint it.
I usually bbq the meat, until son #2 recently took over.
I also schedule the outside maintenance or the boy’s do it. (they mow, but I have to hire tree guys). Hubby does do the garage when he’s home. I do the trash with the boys sometimes. I take the car in (since we only have one J) and I do the storage room since son #3 failed in that position.
So, I do it all, including working outside my house which takes about 14 hours a week even though I only get paid for 8.
And… and … soccer L
It begins again … sigh
Oh sigh…
Practices with an Englishman for a coach … so extra long practices “men”
“don’t be a ‘nancy’ RUN! Down field”
And … the freezing cold, no parking, early morning SATURDAY (for crying out loud) games. What is wrong with these people????
Such a great venue to post a vague vent. I think this is what cyber "space" is for ...
no one reads this ... maybe an alien in 10,000 years :)
