Proving a Point Backfires Sometimes

I got the bright idea to be lazy today and just let everything go to show Jamey that I really do A LOT that he doesn't even notice. (It seemed like a great day to do it because I had crazy nightmares all night and got little to no rest at all....I kept dreaming about attacking bears of all things. They were those really bad nightmares that you can't quite shake when you wake up and you are still scared stiff...not quite convenced that it was just a dream.)

I have laid around all day and have not done any of my household maintenace. He did notice that I really didn't feel up to par so he took Riley to a movie leaving Samuel and I to nap. Now he and Samuel are gone to my mother in law's house to visit for a few minutes to offer more support before her first Chemo treatment tomorrow. Even with him giving me a break from each child individually he has not picked up or moved one toy from the middle of the floor, cleared the table of clutter, offered to do the dishes, made the beds, swept the floor, folded any laundry or anything else I normally do at least once if not multiple times each day. I could tell he did notice that the place is a wreck and he would have to be brain dead not to realize why it is a disaster....I think he was afraid to mention atomic bomb like debris littering the whole house. He knew I would have sternly suggested that he do something about it and he really didn't want to do that I am sure.

I am glad I proved a point but now I get to clean it all up at once...the rest and relaxation I got today was divine but I am not quite sure it was worth having to deal with the looming tasks ahead this evening.

  1. he he he, he'll forget all about it by tomorrow ;-) I always think that every time I pop out a kid and Seth is left to do most of the housework/childcare that he'll gain a little more appreciation for what I do, but it never lasts long! Hopefully Jamey will hold onto the feeling longer than Seth does! I am so glad you had a restful sunday though! My thoughts and prayers will be with your mother-in-law tomorrow. Bless her heart!
