"Is That What You Do All Day?"


Hubby comes home for lunch today and proceeds to sit down on the couch and watch TV. (Side note: he did occupy Ryan with some playtime which was greatly appreciated). I decided to take advantage of hubby being home so I jumped into the shower, got dressed and gave myself a quick manicure. (I think all mom's know that these are impossible things to do when the kids are home).

Then, are you ready for this (???) - hubby looks over and asks, "Is this what you do all day?"

???????

5:30pm

  • Hubby's home....Lynda's passed out....Ryan's in the leftover cookies.....Ooops - no dinner ready! Sorry, honey!

HA- The morning sounds right, but if only my afternoons could really involve alcohol and a nap.

I'm off to go start that dinner...

Update: For those of you who have called or emailed me calling me a lush - the afternoon section of this post was just a joke...LOL. (We don't crack open the daiquiri bucket until after the kids go to bed at night...
