I made a list.

Wednesday is the last day at my job.  My boss has no spouse or kids and wanted to know what I was going to do with all my free time.  After getting over my laughter, I'm making a list of what a typical day consists of with my kids and hubby (with or without an outside job)...

  1. Laundry
  2. 2 hours a day looking for shit I can't find in this mess
  3. 20 minutes explaining to the boy why chips don't count as breakfast when fried potatoes do
  4. Another 20 convincing him that he can not spend another whole day in nothing but underwear
  5. FACEBOOK
  6. 1 hour looking for my family's shit that they can't find in this mess
  7. PTA duties that I've been flaking on (I'm the Labels for Education and Box Tops coordinator, now also PTA historian)
  8. Laundry
  9. 3 hours arguing with my children
  10. 3 more hours repeating myself
  11. FACEBOOK
  12. 1 hour looking around at the mess and wondering where to start
  13. 10 hours procrastinating
  14. 2 hours walking dogs and picking up poop
  15. 30 minutes in the bathroom, pretending to poop so they'll leave me alone
  16. Two words: SOCCER SEASON
  17. 30 minutes, 4 times a day, trying to decide what to make for dinner.
  18. FACEBOOK.
  19. 30 minutes looking for matching socks.
  20. Laundry
  21. 15 minutes screaming for someone to bring me a roll of toilet paper
  22. 93 minutes trying to get my kids to brush their teeth
  23. Another 37 trying to convince the 9 year old to stop talking so he can fall asleep
  24. FACEBOOK
  25. Once school starts back up there will be 5 hours and 24 minutes spent fighting my child to do his 30 minutes of homework
  26. 2 hours of reading in 5 minute spurts between all the rest of this crap (current book:  book 5 of Game of Thrones)
  27. FACEBOOK

I know there's more but I gotta, you know, go find something to do with all my free time...

    There are some days when I walk through the door at the end of the day and my wife looks like she was put in a potato sack and beat for the entire day, lol. I'm reminded on the weekends of how tough staying at home with small kids is. I know it's something she's always wanted to do, and she does a great job, but until people have lived it, it's just never as hard as they think. I think it will also help build a stronger relationship between her and the girls. Awesome post!
