Time Out
Well, Dan's gone once more. For only two weeks this time. You know, I was really looking forward to this time. Don't get me wrong, it does suck when he's gone (i.e. I have no one to stick my icy nighttime feet on when I climb into bed), but there IS good to him being away on business. Such as only having to clean up after one child, not having to have dinner ready at a specific time, not having to ask a kazillon times for someone to have to take out the garbage. YAY! So after finally getting him packed up (which required him removing everything he owns from the closet and depositing it on the living room divan) the Queen and I set out for a relaxing day. It was divine! I didn't clean ANYTHING! There's crap EVERYWHERE! And I didn't give a shit! YEEHAW! Of course later that night all hell breaks loose. I get a call from my sister-in-law saying that Dan's grandmother is in the ER and it doesn't look good... CRAP! I stay up half the night waiting to hear some news. Call Dan a few times. He says "Ummmm, Dom, you know that I cannot come home right?" Yah, I knew, but shit I wasn't expecting to spend my two-week-vacation-away-from-my-husband with the family! It is now essentially Thursday and Dan's shit is still in the front room, the Queen's puzzle from Monday has fallen off the bar and there are puzzle pieces all over the damn floor, there is laundry seeping out from the bathroom and I spend all my time in the hospital. AAAAACCCCCKKKKKK! I'm moving on. I am going back to my normal routine (no matter what anyone says). Tomorrow is Thursday and that's my Coffee-Date-With-Dawn day and I'm keeping it! I would like to say that afterwards I will come home and clean this filthy house up but I'm sure I will procrastinate on Flickr for an eternity. I'm gonna try though. Wish me luck! Sweetney said to me that she is trying to be Ms. Brightside. I'm going to try and follow her lead.
I have to go now... I went to mass for Ash Wednesday this morning and the ashes are sliding down my greasy-ass forehead and burning my eyes. Today Rocks!
P.S. Can I just mention that I adore our Priest? 'Cause I do. And you should to.

Good luck on cleaning the house! When my husband goes away on trips (as he will this Friday!), I actually take that time to clean my house from top to bottom, and wallow in the cleanliness until he gets home and it's a tornado again. Of course, I don't have a kid making messes, either... ^_^
I didn't manage to do much today. I did take a nap though! I feel the same way you do though and totally clean while he's gone and then watch the tornado hit when he walks back through the door.
Ladyface! I'm sorry you were having such a tough week. I hope the world has re-righted itself for you.
