Thursday Thirteen #19

Thirteen Things that D Wants (and it's all about what I want isn't it?) 1. ....for Buddy to keep his room clean enough that it doesn't look like something exploded or smells bad or starts to grow things. 2. ....for the toilet to get flushed after every use...for heavens sake! I KNOW your mother taught you to do that! 3. ....for the kids to stop leaving gobs of toothpaste in the sink and their towels on the floor (and those annoying spittle flecks all over the mirror...) 4.....for the dog to learn to wipe his own paws or to learn to stay out of the mud. 5....for the cats to stop running the Indy 500 through the house at 2 AM and using our bed as the lap counter. 6....for someone to realize that a stay at home mom works from the moment she wakes up til the moment she lays down for bed (and sometimes throughout the night too) and that any interruption is just like interrupting the President at HIS job during those hours... come on, would you interrupt the President just to ask him if he was busy? When I am doing laundry or running to the bank or making snacks, I. Am. Working. 7....for the damn hot water to work correctly so I don't have to freakin freeze to death with shampoo in my eyes and then try to shave over goosebumps every. stinking. morning. Or alternately scald the skin off my hands when I use the sink to finish getting the shaving cream out of my armpits. Sheesh. 8....for Charter to FINALLY get us a ding dang phone! 9....And internet service! Hello? This is NOT 1990... get me connected man, get me connected! 10....new tank tops and capris to cover my lard ass but yet leave me comfortable in the sweltering humidity that is sure to come to New England any day now. 11...for the windows to clean themselves and the woodwork to dust itself so I can go spend a gazillion hours raking up the moss in my yard before I lime it and reseed it just in time for the dog to trash it all anyway. 12...R.E.S.P.E.C.T..... seriously, I enjoy cooking and cleaning, that's not the problem. The problem is being treated as if that's all I'm good for... as if no one has to care about doing anything cuz I'm just sitting around with nothing else to do except pick up after them and find their crap for them and make them happy... and be cheerful and friendly while I do it! Is R.E.S.P.E.C.T. too much on Thursday? Or any other day? 13...for my husband to know I'm sorry for being cranky and that I do love him and that I am happy and that I'm sorry for being cranky (had to be said twice... probably could use being said a few more times too!)
