A guide for Ladies to Follow

we did a double whammy for dave tonight. i roasted a chicken AND made chicken and dumplins. i poured the drippings from the roasted chicken into the broth of the dumplings the dumplins are fun to make with the kids. they get COATED in flour. and the dumplins aren't pretty. but they taste so much better. dave's watching football, so my mom and i are watching tv in my bedroom. all of dave's clothes are clean, the house is clean, we're buying him some hooks to hang up his bycycle tomorrow. he wasn't to build a man cave in the garage. we'll help. he has to smoke his cigar somewhere.

 

I think it is different when you both work though. I work more than Andy does and he does a bit more than me now. I felt like I was doing everything where we used to live though. I would get soooo pissed off. Even now I feel like our dynamic isn't right. I always get him stuff when I am at the grocery store. He gets me stuff too most of the time, but today he went and didn't get me anything even though he only has to work for a few hours and I had an almost 10 hour day. It would have been really nice to come home and not have to spend an hour chopping vegetables so I have something healthy to eat after I lived on coffee and pasteries today due to lack of time.

I guess you can't win everyday though; right? I need to be thankful for all that is done for me. But mannnnn I work my ass off and am working the whole time I am at work...it would be really nice to even have had something in the freezer waiting for me to put in the oven when I got home or a fruit salad. I almost cut my freaking finger cutting a carrot because I am soooo freaking tired.

 

my dave baked a wonderful spaghetti last night. it's his specialty. it's so freaking good. we have so many leftovers now. he's been so lovey dovey this week. he missed me so bad.
