An icy front is coming in!

Sometimes I don’t think men think before they speak.  Ok a little background I work from home and do have a part time job I work 1 night a week then of course take care of the kids etc.  Rick works a full time job and 2 part time jobs that alter days during the week and then he goes up to my parents house to works.  So ok we get it he works a LOT so that means he is not home a lot.

So between work, working out and taking the boys here and there my house cleaning has been a bit lacking.  Now don’t get me wrong the house is not filthy just maybe not dusted or vacuumed on a daily basis (ok who am I kidding weekly).

So this is the part where I think Rick brain and mouth were not connected the other day.  He get’s into these cleaning modes which would be great to some but he gets pissy when he cleans.  See he is under the assumption that once you clean the carpet or the house it is to stay that way!  HELLO we have kids and he added a dog into the mix so yup it’s never going to stay clean.  He words to me that had his foot in his mouth is “How come this house is never clean?  You don’t do anything around here unless it’s connected to a computer”.  Oh yes that was the last straw … so we’re on a icy freeze here!

Anyone else think the silent treatment is the way to go?  Do you also want your spouse to switch spots to you?  Just one day in my life maybe he would get it! hehe Yes I know wishful thinking!

Daily in the life a busy mom:

• 5:30a (or 6am if I sleep in) – Start Work
• 7:30a – Clock off to get Cole up, make breakfast, pack lunch, get Rick up, do the dishes, throw a load in the washer … Get them all out the door
• 8:30a – Clock back on
• 3:00p – Clock off pick up Cole at School
• 3:20p – Clock back on finish calls
• 3:40p – Get dinner ready put in oven on Delay Mode to start while we’re at the gym & be ready when we walk in door.  Throw a load in the dryer, throw dry load on the bed to fold sometime.
• 4:00p – Head to Gym
• 6:00p – Dinner Friends come over (Tues)
• 7:00p – Swimming Classes (Mon, Wed), Homework, Bath, Dishes, Laundry
• 8:00pm – Maybe Sit down then to bed.

Yup so the house may not be spotless but I’m doing the best I can.  Until I hit the pay load and can hire someone to help me this is what it is.  And as I pointed out to him YES he works a lot but how hard is it to fold the laundry, heck I’d put it away just help me fold it!  A girl can dream!  So we’ll see if Rick can remove that foot from his mouth or if the ground hog will not see his shadow and go back for an icy front .
