Today was a beautiful day in the neighborhood.Quite literally in fact,84 degrees, a breeze, kicked the kids out of the house ALL day,and then I cleaned. I cleaned like the hounds of hell were at my heals and Martha Stewart was leading them. Why? Why would I spend a Beautiful day indoors? Because I am leaving next weekend to go visit a friend far away and I am trying to get this house in order before I go. I KNOW it won't look like this when I come back. Shoot, it won't even look like this in 2 days. But I feel like if I don't do it when I have the chance then I will run out of time and it will be 10x's worse when I return.
The pet peeve of the day is this: When I leave to go ANYWHERE, even if just for the day, I have to make sure there is food in the fridge,instructions wrote out,laundry done,house cleaned,schedule wrote out and babysitters for when he can't handle it.
What?
Yep, I have to do all of that.
Why?
Because he is an incapable human being?
No.
I really couldn't tell you why. At work he is charge of organizing and supervising over 150 adults in an 8 hour shift but ask him to watch his OWN kids for 4 days (there are only 3) and he has asked for a babysitter for 2 of those nights. Areyoufreakingkiddingme?!!!
I feel like boycotting the whole thing and just packing my stuff and getting on the plane and letting him figure it out. It is not like I got a manual when we had these kids! And he is NOT getting that sitter either!
So There!
