I can feel that if I do not get myself and the kids out of the house today that I am going to blow a gasket!
The kids have already been fighting and I think Samuel has already turned his hearing off for the day.
The early vibe I am getting for the day is not agreeing with my mood so we are taking this show on the road...which makes my kids happier and happy kids is just what I need today with the mood I am in.
Too bad it is like an hour and a half process to get us out the door to go anywhere...days like these I wish I were a man...get yourself ready and pace around until your wife gets herself and the kids ready and everything required for the trip packed....unless your told SPECIFICALLY what to do and how to do it which takes time and ticks your wife off that she would have to ask you so your wife just does it herself....it's not like you have watched her go through the same routine for YEARS!!!!!
Let me paint a little picture of my husband of seven years now that drives me batty....
Jamey does not clean...at all....ANYTHING!!!! He does probably half of the laundry...when I worked he did it all BUT laundry for him is seperating, washing, drying and folding and putting away ONLY his clothes. That leaves me with heaps of my clothes, the kids clothes and towels to fold and put away. The bad thing is that he is bad to wash and dry things and just toss them out of the dryer and not tell me they are there...by the time I discover them they are so wrinkled I have to put them back into the dryer to attempt to get some of the wrinkles out...of course they never really come out so guess who gets to iron more than normal????? Jamey also keeps our yard work done...he never lets it go longer than he should...like clockwork he mows the grass, weedeats, edges the driveway and blows the clippings off the driveway. He NEVER moves or picks up ANYTHING!!!!!! If a toy is in middle of the floor he will step over it....REPEATEDLY!!!! It will remain there until I ask the kids to pick it up or I put it away.
****Real life and recent example of the madness....(I guess I am hormonal or something!!!) Last night before bathtime I gave the kids coloring books, blank paper and crayons for a little bit of art time. They had a good time coloring and drawing pictures for us. After bathtime I was getting them in their p.j.s and I noticed that Riley had left her crayons spread out on the loveseat. Instead of picking the crayons up and putting them back into the cup they go in Jamey left them there and sat on the arm of the loveseat. I grabbed the cup and said, "This is the crayon cup, this is my hand, this is how I use my hand to pick up the crayons and put them in the crayon cup. If you pick up the crayons you wouldn't have to sit on the arm of the loveseat! That wasn't very hard!!!" I know that he goes to work all day but that is no excuse for not picking up a pile of crayons!!!!! It ain't the easiest job in the world being here all day! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can you tell that I am in a really bad mood today???? Yep...we are definitely going somewhere to get away from these walls!!!!! That is a new best for me...I manifested an argument to have with Jamey and he isn't even here!
Later Gaters!!!!
