 Topic: What do you do all day? hehehe

What Do You Do All Day?
A man came home from work and found his three children outside, still in
their pyjamas, playing in the mud, with empty food boxes and wrappers strewn all around the front yard.
The door of his wife's car was open, as was the front door to the house and there was no sign of the dog. Proceeding into the entry, he found an even bigger mess. A lamp had been knocked over, and the throw rug was wadded against one wall. In the front room the TV was loudly blaring a cartoon channel, and the family room was strewn with toys and various items of clothing.
In the kitchen, dishes filled the sink, breakfast food was spilled on the counter, the fridge door was open wide, dog food was spilled on the floor, a broken glass lay under the table, and a small pile of sand was spread by
the back door.
He quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over toys and more piles of clothes, looking for his wife. He was worried she might be ill, or that something serious had happened.
He was met with a small trickle of water as it made its way out the bathroom door. As he peered inside he found wet towels, scummy soap and more toys
strewn over the floor. Miles of toilet paper lay in a heap and toothpaste had been smeared over the mirror and walls.
As he rushed to the bedroom, he found his wife still curled up in the bed in her pyjamas, reading a novel. She looked up at him, smiled, and asked how his day went.
He looked at her bewildered and asked, 'What happened here today?'
She again smiled and answered, 'You know every day when you come home from work and you ask me what in the world I do all day?'
'Yes,' was his incredulous reply.
She answered, 'Well, today I didn't do it.'

I'm going to print this out and put it on the fridge for DH. He made the mistake of recently saying "well you're home all day" and to this day is regretting that comment  hence why I have had CBA this week

My work is resting by comparison, and it's a law office!
My bro's flatmate was here the other day, found out DH is SAHD and was like, cool! I'm gonna be a SAHD one day. Sleep in... play playstation... we laughed at him

I dare not show my DH, he still is under the illusion that our children will be perfect, quiet and tidy little angels.
Dont want him to change his mind on the TTC thing.

Here's a beautiful poem that I thought could be appropriate in here:
Today I left some dishes dirty,
The bed got made around two-thirty,
The nappies soaked a little longer,
Their odor grew a little stronger,
The crumbs I spilled the day before,
Were staring at me from the floor,
The fingerprints there on the wall,
I guess will still be there next fall,
The dirty streaks on window panes,
Will still be there next time it rains,
"For shame, oh lazy one!" you say,
"And just what did you do today?"
I nursed a baby 'till she slept,
I held a toddle while she wept,
I played a game of hide and seek,
I squeezed a toy so it would squeak,
I pulled a sled, I sang a song,
I taught a child what's right and wrong,
What did I do this whole day through?
Not much that shows, I guess it's true,
Unless you think of what I've done,
Might be important to someone,
With bright blue eyes, and soft blonde hair,
If that is true, I've done my share.
