Today is turning out to be a great day. Yes, there are clouds in the sky. Yes, I have a sore ear and a stuffed up nose. Yes, I really need to go to the grocery store because the cupboards are bare....... However, today for the first time in a long time(maybe ever!) I have a valid, totally legit reason to slack off.
MY DRYER IS BROKEN and I am waiting on the repairman to show up. Do you have any idea how liberating it is to know that not only do I not want to do laundry today, but I CAN'T do laundry today. I can walk by the piles of clothes totally guilt free.
So far today I have checked email, paid bills, played with 2 lovely little girls, shopped online for a new camera, watched Dora the Explorer, and now I am enjoying some guilt free blogging time.
I just recently realized (you're going to question my IQ after reading this) that even though I don't work at a paying job as many days per week as Andy does, I actually work just as many days(and probably more hours total) than him! I jokingly refer to my family/home life as my small business with 4 employees......that isn't far from the truth. A lot goes into making this house and our family function at an average (I strive for above average and fail most days!) level of performance. Luckily I do love being "the Mom" and even though I would love a little more thanks/appreciation/lavish gifts out of gratitude, I have a pretty sweet deal here, and I know it.
The repairman is supposed to arrive between 12p and 2p....so my time is limited.
The Mayor has an attitude of Gratitude today.

Yeah........you may be right about the actual hours WORKED, but I think I've got you beat on the HOURS worked. I may be reclined or sleeping but it is still work.........

I think the key word is still "work"
ReplyDeleteDon't make me fire you for insubordination.
