OMG I So Need A Glass Of Wine Or I’m Gonna Sell My Husband!

After 14 years of marriage I find that it really is the little things that make the biggest difference.  And there are definitely things that I’m happy to do without.  For example, my husband’s dirty underwear & socks strewn on random areas of the floor.  My life would be no less complete should I never step on another pair of nasty tidy whities again!

So last night I have a networking mixer to attend.  But not before I get the kids taken care of with dinner, bathing, homework, etc.  By the time I leave the house all my hubby has to do is tuck the kids in bed.  I almost forgot to mention that I instructed the kids not to watch any TV while I was gone.  They were supposed to read & our 11yr old is on TV restriction for being sassy with me.

Here’s the scene:  I walk in the door at 11pm.  11yr old is on the couch watching TV with her BFF daddy.  Really??  It’s a school night!  They both look at me like “oh shit!”.  Daughter then greets me with a huge hug & kiss & an “I love you so much mama!”  She only calls me “mama” when she 1. wants something, or 2. knows she’s in trouble.

I then proceed to the bathroom to walk back to my bedroom when I step into my husbands dirty UPS uniform complete with dirty underwear & socks atop the pile.  Ewwww!  This is NOT his first infraction.  In fact, just the night before he left a nice little pile on the bathroom floor.  He relocated that pile to the foot of the laundry basket!  And now the old pile has a new friend   How sweet…

I totally snapped.  So I pick up all his dirty clothes off the floor & throw them on the back patio.  OMG I wanted to throw them right in the garbage bin, but luckily those were still in the street (because he still had not pulled them up from garbage day!  AH!).  The pile is totally visible through both our sliding glass doors, one of which is right next to our bed.  And he NEVER even noticed!  ARGH…..  I’ve accomplished nothing.  This morning I go to pick the laundry up off the patio, but not before my chihuahua lifts his leg & pees on the pile!  Good boy
