The Harried Housewife

Many days I feel like a whirling dervish.  Between subbing, teaching, getting kids to and from extracurriculars, cooking meals, bathing kids, putting kids to bed, lots and lots of laundry, dishes, doctor appointments, and lesson planning I feel like I'm starting to lose myself a little.  Maybe it's not surprising that I got sick over the weekend.

I haven't been sick like this in years.  I'm finally getting my voice back.  Dave was busy working so I begged my mom to take the big kids.  I threw money and a Starbucks gold card at her and said, "Just take them out of the house."  While I slept, the big kids checked out archaeology day at the Burke Museum.  Then they had lunch at Starbucks and headed to the movies.  Robin did his part by taking a 3 hr+ nap.

I've been starting to feel slightly overworked (yes I realize I need to start saying no).  I wonder if Dave appreciates how easy he has it (just one job with long hours, but comes home to clean house, folded laundry, kids in bed, with his dinner waiting for him).  I found myself remembering an old Goofy cartoon.

I love that you can find anything on YouTube.

All I can say is, "Where is my milkman kiss?"  I pay good money for Smith Brothers.  Don't worry. I'm looking forward to some relaxing time off in the very near future.
