Let me preface this post by saying I love my husband very much.  I am true to the vows I spoke over 8 years ago.  But as I write this, I'm pretty darn irritated.

This day has been full of activity…only the third real day of school for Nathan, a Kindergarten outing at a local inflatables place (where Nathan got EXTREMELY sweaty!), and back home to deal with two very cranky (and tired) kids.  I then made dinner which was ready promptly at 5:30 p.m.  My darling husband then walks through the door at 5:37 p.m. after being out on the golf course all day long playing 18 holes and watching part of the Nationwide Tour which was rolling through town today.

Shortly after he walks in I let him know dinner's ready.  Good thing.  He's starved.  I serve dinner then rush off downstairs to print something out that I needed for a meeting up at church tonight.  My plan was to be out the door by 6:30 p.m., which I was.  As I was heading for the door, I reminded my darling husband (once again) that the kids need to be going upstairs to shower and get ready for bed by 7 p.m. so that they can be in bed falling asleep by 7:30.  With school having started this week, these early mornings are still something the kids are getting used to.  That's it!  Not much more to his evening than those two easy things which should easily occur within an hour after I leave the house.

So, you can imagine how irritated and disappointed I am when I get home from my meeting up at church at 10 p.m. only to find out from him that he didn't take Nathan a shower because he fell asleep on the couch watching Wipeout at about 7 p.m.!!!!

What??? Are you for real?? Where were YOU while he was falling asleep? How did you not notice and take him up right away?

………Oh, you were too busy playing Bejeweled on Facebook and thus weren't really paying attention to what was happening on the couch??! Oh, ok.

Yes, that's why I'm fuming right now.  Not to mention the fact that since he wasn't able to take Nathan a shower, he decided Will didn't need one either.  Hello??? What is so hard about doing those TWO things while I am at my meeting?? Seriously….I've been with these kids ALL DAY LONG and you're with them for TWO HOURS max and you can't manage to oversee their shower and bedtime by 7:30???!!!

Darling husband then simply replies, "I'll just shower them in the morning." 

Wait, you're kidding me, right?  It's hard enough waking Nathan up at 6:45 a.m. to get ready for school….you think he's going to want to SHOWER at that hour??? 

Ugh. I am SO irritated right now, I can't even make myself sleepy enough to go to bed when I know I should.

Ok, I'm done.  For now. ♥
