I’ve got nothing today. Nichts, Niets, Niente, Nada, Nothing!
Since Hubby’s knees gave out and he spends his days in a bathrobe in front of a computer screen drinking coffee, and I spend my days, doing all his work and mine, I am finding very little that is funny to write about.
Here is a sample of yesterday.
After making our breakfast and putting in time on the exercise bike (also known as the machine of torture), I showered, dressed and put all the trash, newspapers and bottles into the back of the Jeep and did a dump run. I will have you know that I was the only woman there. I’m not saying that women don’t do their own trash, but I think somehow, the men get stuck with this job. After sorting through all of our junk, clear glass here, brown glass there, green glass here, newspapers there, etc… I told Hubby that I plan a quick run to the Recycling Center once a week so it’s a more manageable job.
I picked up our mail at the Post Office, and arrived home just in time to let the dogs out and in, and then made lunch.
Meanwhile, I had laundry going, so immediately following lunch there was a basket of laundry to fold and put away before, Fritz was demanding that I open the door and let him out again. I must note here, Fritz is always on the wrong side of the door!
I attempted to straighten the family room. (I should just forget this and go with the fact that it’s going to be a little crazy in here while Hubby is laid up).
Then it was time to make dinner. I covered my Perdue Oven Stuffer Roaster with herbs and placed it in my rotisserie, while I snapped the beans. The dogs also needed to be fed.
Now isn’t this exciting?
I tortured Hubby with the scent of the chicken cooking for an hour and 20 minutes before I fixed our plates and served dinner.
After that I cleaned up the kitchen, let the dogs out and in again, climbed into my pajamas and then just vegetated in front of the TV.
So that’s my life.
ahhhh, the grass is always greener! I will trade with you any time–I spent my day indoors, in an office filled with people I don’t care for, putting off work I hate but that I NEED to do for next Tuesday and hoping I can pull off the inspection. I’d much rather be home cooking and cleaning LOL!
I’m sure life will get exciting soon, it always seems like it lulls and then boom! too much stuff to do.
I’m on the couch…Trying to get rid of this damn cold or whatever it is that I have..grrrrr…
So sorry you are going through this. If I were, my house would just plain fall apart. Seriously. My husband does more than his fair share around here. I know there is a lesson in there for me somewhere, but I am too lazy to look for it.;)
You could take up Pole dancing! I saw on TV some women did that for exercise and is now teaching classes to lots of other women. That would liven things up at your house.
