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

Looooooonnnnnng Weeeeeeekendz

Apparently, after reading my Hot and Not post, Andy dedicated himself to being irresistible for our 3 day weekend. It is perhaps an understatement to say that a few long weekends and holidays have previously felt like overtime for me. Sharing in the frequently monotonous, daily household upkeep and baby raising is true partnership. The weekend, while uneventful, turned out in everyone's favor. Uh-oh, I just shot him a stink-eye for talking to me while writing. Must go redeem and repay gift of partnership. wink wink (5 minutes later) Just got shut down. Oh well, I tried. It was still a weekend better than most. Oh, the cruel irony of being cold to someone in order to finish writing about how much you treasure them....Must go for 2nd attempt to make nice.
