The Good Life

Yesterday morning I came home from church and as soon as I walked in was greeted by the youngest. Than my son popped out of the bathroom door, half naked and says "Oh I Mommy." I said your 1/2 naked. He said "I just had big poopies and need to take a shower because my butt feels dirty."

What do you do besides laugh and say, you need anything for your shower? (Saying this to a 3 3/4 yr old). He says "No thanks Mommy. I have towel waiting for me."

LOL!!!

My daughter hears the word water and wants to play in a sink with water. It keeps her entertained for hours on end. It is a beautiful thing.

They were so good yesterday and today. I wondered if they were actually my children.

There father, well a very large PITA!!!!

I understand that money is tight with everyone these days, but he wants me to work full time from home, take care of the kids full time without any help, have the house tidy, dinner waiting for everyone, clothes washed and pressed, etc.

What do I look like, June F'in Clever? with a bit of Mrs. Fields rolled into it?

This comes from all men that do help out at home, but have never spent a day alone with the kids without any help from anyone.

I think this should be mandatory for all men at least one full day a week. Let them do what we do and see if they can keep up. The chauffeuring around, grocery shopping, cleaning up after them for only as soon as the last piece is picked up for a hurricane to hit and you start all over again.

It is non-ending. Friends? LOL!!!! I never see my friends except for on facebook and IM when I see they are on.

He is fortunate to go to work. He can eat sitting down, go to the bathroom alone, see people and have an adult conversation with them. When I told him I was meeting an old friend today for coffee- coffee- he was not happy. Don't spend too much was his response. What a $1.35 for coffee in a restaurant? With someone I have known for over 30 years. Come on? I looked forward to it. An adult to sit down with for an hour and talk about anything but kids.

It may sound terrible, but all you Mom's out there know what I mean. I love my kids, but I need down time. Very rarely get it.

I know June Clever was not real, at least to me, but were these women crazy back than? Clean with heels and pearls on? Give me a break. I am lucky a have make up on any given day. What would June think? I thought about trying it the June way. I laughed so hard that it hurt.

Than I imagined my husband dressed up as June. Let him do all the work in a dress with the poof in it. Hair full of hairspray and bobby pins. Heels. Than right before Daddy gets home, lets fix ourselves up again. Does any guy do that before they come home? LOL!! Can you see them drop down the rear view mirror and pinch there cheeks, brush their hair, put on a little cologne to cover up that work smell. Yeah right! So why should I? I know that is what women do. Spoken like a true man.

I am teaching my kids not to take crap from anyone, especially my daughter. Teach my son to be very caring toward woman. Not to be whipped by one, but be nice and actually listen to them.

A girl can at least dream, right?

I better get to sleep so I dream about the good life.
