What I Meant to Say Wednesday: Step up and Stay up

How cool is this???  Another "carnival"
from SupahMommy along with Chief'sHidingfromthekids.  Over the top funny.
What I said:  Honey, do you want to spend time with Ernie or feed Bert before bathing him?

What I meant:  Look, I've enjoyed these babies as much as a person can. Non-stop for the last 13.5 hours, opposing nap schedules and all. So watching you, after your "work day" which includes showering and shitting uninterrupted, time alone in the car and in the bathroom as needed, a seated lunch for an entire and predictable hour(probably with other adults) and... two SCHEDULED 15 minute breaks.  Watching you check out and feed yourself in solitude feels especially fucking unfair. Why do I have to nag and hound you?  Please adopt a new plan already:  Each night, try walking through the door with only these thoughts "what can I do?  what needs to be done?  who needs what?"  Okie doke?
 

fuuuuuuuck

  2. That was fucking hysterical! And soooo true. I'm emailing it to my sister. You just put into words what she's been bitching about for the last month. Can you just casually let your husband read it? Hahaha.

  6. Well put. Even my wonderful husband has the nerve to feed himself, check email and go to the bathroom alone.
