His bit*h? Um, I don't think so

It's Monday. I hate Mondays. The reason I hate Mondays is because I always let myself down. I always say that I am going to start this week on a positive note and accomplish everything that I set out to do. I even wrote a to-do list this morning:

1) Finish and put away laundry
2) Call in and pick up RXs
3) Pick up garbage out front (thanks to a neighborhood dog)
4) Clean all 3 bathrooms
5) Put Kota's clothes away (even at 10, she thinks everything fits in her underwear drawer)
6) Write this here blog

So far, as of 1:10 pm, I have put the whites in the dryer, driven PASSED the pharmacy AND the bank, put the dirty clothes on the floor of 2 of the 3 bathrooms and shut the door to Kota's room to avoid looking at the mess. BUT, I have begun to write this blog...but who knows when I will finish it.

Something is on my mind these days that I would like to share will all of you. Recently, my husband and I attended a fundraising function here in Charleston with some of his friends from work. One "gentleman" decided that he needed me to admit that I was my husband's bit*h. Now, anyone who knows me is probably rolling on the floor in a puddle of their own urine laughing till they cry at this thought. I am no one's anything. EVER. Especially that. BUT, I am extremely dedicated to my husband and his needs. I make is coffee in the morning for work (I drink some of it too), I pack his lunch, I do his laundry, I make his favorite dinners. Does that make me his bit*h? No. That makes me a loving and caring stay at home mommy and wife who's husband works two jobs and is too tired to deal with the everyday meanderings of this household. My husband is forever telling me how much he appreciates everything that I do and that I don't really need to do it. I say to him that while I do not leave the house to work, it is MY JOB to make sure that this household runs as smoothly as possibly with 3 children, a very naughty dog, and him working most of the time. I just wonder why so many people still have that "June Cleaver" mind-set that if a wife takes care of her husband and children the way that I do, that means that that is all that they are...nothing else. We all should be thankful that there are still marriages that exist this way.

Those of you who are ready to call Gloria Steinham on me and have my WOMAN card revoked please take note: MY HUSBAND WILL DO ANYTHING THAT I ASK HIM, INCLUDING RUB MY FEET AFTER HE GETS HOME FROM WORKING TWO JOBS.

Any Ideas??

It is beautiful day here in Charleston. Sun is shining. Sky is blue. Air is chilly, but not cold. Very fall-like. The smell of baby poo in the air....HUH??? Yes, that smell is one that I have been accustomed to since having children. BUT, the smell somewhat changes dramatically when the "product" is smeared all over flat paint walls. My son will not keep his diaper on during nap time and it NEVER FAILS that he must clear his system during this time. Why? I ask you. I have tried putting big boy panties on him over his diaper. Nope. I have tried getting him fully dressed. Nope. I have tried putting sleeper jammies on him (you know, complete with zipper and snap). Nope..except in this case, he had the jammies on when I got him up (yeah!!!) but had somehow taken the diaper off from under the jammies so I was left with an even more interesting mess. I will spare you the details of what happens after the diaper comes off, but please, if you have any suggestions, make haste and let me know. The walls are stripped to the wood. We need help. FAST.

On a cleaner, and better smelling, note, my husband and I have been invited to a United Way fundraiser this evening complete with eats and drinks. Should be lots of fun. I had to find a bratsitter, I mean babysitter, for the evening. SO, I asked my sister. The kids LOVE their Aunt Katie. She's fun. She lets them crawl on her and beat her up. She makes funny faces. She's the BEST!!!She also wanted to know how much I was going to pay her. (If you know my children, you will understand why). Since funds are limited, I offered to make her a cake. Since she does that for a living, that did not go over well. I asked her price. And this is the reponse I got...and I quote "HOMEMADE peanut butter cookies and HOMEMADE Russian Teacakes, no nuts. They better be homemade, I WILL know the difference." Do you KNOW what a pain in the ass these 2 kinds of cookies are???? BOTH have to be made ahead of time, chilled, then rolled into balls. I don't roll
balls, just ask my husband. (He-he). I don't have the time, strength or stamina to stand at my counter and roll 3 trillion little balls THEN roll them in sugar and powdered sugar. Um, no. Not gonna happen. I am STANDING UP TO THIS NONSENSE!!! WHO WAS I IN A FORMER LIFE....HITLER????? WHY CAN'T I CATCH A BREAK??? BABY POO. ROLLED BALLS. I AM UP TO MY EARS IN BULLSHIT!!!

Sorry, got a little upset. I am off to put on my girl face and get ready to go meet my husband for some adult, wine enjoying fun....and roll 3 trillion balls....
