Last night after a long dinner clean up session during which multiple much-needed disciplinary actions were executed upon all involved (the oldest four), and after which those same oldest four were finally freed to skip out and enjoy the mild evening playing baseball, I was left alone in the house with the baby who refused to be put down and two little girls (one of whom was recovering from a 24-hour virus thingie) who wanted to get stories read to them and drinks of water. Lots of stories. And lots of drinks.
After forty-five minutes or so of this I
stomped went outside to find my husband who was trimming trees in our yard and yelled out, "Are you ever coming in?! All I have been doing for the last hour is holding the baby and trying to keep two little girls happy!"
To which my husband replied, teasingly -
"Honey, that's wonderful. That's all you need to be doing. Just read your own Mothers' blog and see."
Hmmmmmm....
Yeah.
Next post - How awesome husbands are.
Very sweet!!

Hence my lack of posts ;-)
ReplyDeleteLouise - that is so funny. I actually showed this one to my husband too :-)
ReplyDeleteLeah - I'm glad you manage to actually post such things for us all to enjoy, even amidst the continual need for lots and lots of stories and drinks!
That's great, I love it. Reminds me of someone I know too :-)
