Why am I the only person in my house to notice...

  • that we have a dishwasher?
  • that when you take the trash bag out of the can, you have to put a new bag in it?
  • that there's pee on the toilet seat, or floor, or shower curtain, or cabinets?
  • that the dirty laundry goes in the laundry room?
  • that clean clothes have a home?
  • and that the correct home for the clothes is not on your floor or bed?
  • that the trash is full?
  • that the children need to be fed?
  • that it's bedtime?
  • that the children might need to bathe occasionally?
  • that there are numerous house projects to be done?
  • the tags that you took off your new clothes still lying where you left them?
  • that the floors need to be swept or vacuumed?
  • that there are better places to put your belongings than on my kitchen table?
  • that if we eat upstairs, the dishes do have to actually be brought down to get clean?
  • ANYTHING?
Renee, I posted this for you! I originally wrote this right after Thanksgiving. I was just needing an outlet for a bit of frustration, but I felt like I shouldn't post it because it was the holidays. I figured I'm not supposed to be complaining about my family around Christmas, or Santa wouldn't bring me anything!!
(here's your favorite part Renee, the apologies!) I love my husband and kids, and even though this post is about them, it's more about the differences between men and women. We just notice different things...apparently. I was really just having a moment, and I happened to write it down so I can remember it forever.

well, thank you for posting. i love it when you vent. for some reason, i'm too self-conscious to do it.

as i've said many times before, the world would be a better place if we were all third children. :)
