What I Didn't Do Today........Have been away but home now.......

This is an email I was sent today.....reminded me once when my husband offered to babysit our two girls for the day while I had a day out shopping with a friend......when I arrived back home he said, "I don't know why your days are so hard. The girls were no problem".....Nothing had been done so far as housework...they had played all day....all three of them........

Subject: FW: How was your day....dear?

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."

We were in Chattanooga, TN last week....I'm reading blogs as fast as I can but don't have time to comment on each one.......I'll be back on schedule in a day or so, hopefully......
