I NEED my Chaotic life back!



While reading this post some might say I have lost my mind! Hubby has been home for three days and I am already going INSANE!

You see I am used to having him come home around 8 to 8:30-ish…. I am used to having to do EVERYTHING at home. I am used to the CAOS that this brings also.

I usually leave the office (Orlando) around 3:30pm and run to go and get Mickey at daycare and then haul some major a$$ to Haines City to pick Joey up from Wrestling practice and then back home to Kissimmee. I finally get home around 5:00 to 5:30-ish.

I start the meal prep and homework with little Luis. Dinner is usually on the table by 6:30 and then they are off to take a shower and I finally get my down time around 7:30. Boys are in PJ’s watching TV and I am off to take a shower.

Since hubby has been home, I have nothing to do nothing, zilch, nada, nada, nada…… He has cleaned, cooked, done homework, taken little Luis a bath by 5:00 pm when I get home. He has done the lawn, cleaned the garage, sweeps and mops every day.

Yesterday when I went to put the dirty clothes in the laundry basket it was empty! I asked him and he said he had done the laundry. So I tell him to get me the baskets of the clothes to fold from the laundry room. His words where “Oh Baby I already folded them and put them away”!!!!!!

ARGH!!!!

I just feel useless. My sister tells me to just relax. But.I.Can.Not.Relax. The other night I was in PJ’s reading World Without End for a while when I looked at the clock it was only 6:37pm people!

Oh and the other thing…. The boys are so well behaved. I mean like I don’t recognize them. No fighting on who sits on what chair, no nagging from little Luis and Mickey that they want this or that. NADA!

I think I need to tell him that he needs to take this time and RELAX and just lay back and rest! At least for one day….

I have truly come to accept that I AM a control freak! On the other hand I know that when finds work and I am left at home to do all of the above (well except the lawn and garage) I will complain!

Woman who understands them! LOL

You have a lovely family

Sorry...can't be supportive here. LOL! If I had a man doing the cooking, cleaning, AND laundry I'd be ecstatic. In fact, if I could find that kind of guy it MIGHT convince me to get married again.

Just enjoy it chica. Take a break yourself!

Really, it's a dream come true.
