I hate forwards. Hate them. Except when they make me almost wet myself!
Rather then send this to every mom in my address book I thought I would just share this one here… yes. It’s that good.

A man came home from work
and found his three children outside, still in their pajamas, 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 pajamas, 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.’
Priceless

Considering yesterday I washed/dried/put away 6 loads of laundry, ran the dishwasher twice, vacuumed, mopped, cleaned the bathroom, painted with Bailey, made a new game for the girls (yes, another felt game!), played, gathered things for Good Will, cooked chicken for the week, cooked a real dinner and cared for three kids all day this really hit home!
Thanks Carey for sending it!
TODAY: Me and the troops are at my mom’s b/c we woke up today with no water. Thanks water main break! I’m about to take a shower and then leave the girls here for a while so Grayson and I can go to the Sams Club Vision Center to get my eyes checked. Things are getting blurry and I’m scared glasses are in my future. I also have about 2,000 photos to edit, groceries to buy and emails to answer. It’s a full one and sitting here isn’t getting it started fast enough!
