A Mothers Work....

I saw this on my sis-in-law's blog (Thanks Jess!) and thought it was such a cute story.....here's to all the husbands who wonder what their wives do all day and to all the wives who work so hard:)


A Man came home from work and found his two children outside, still in their pajamas, playing in the mud, with empty food boxes and wrappers strewn all around the front yard. The door of his wife's car was open, as was the front door to the house and there was no sign of the dog. Proceeding into the entry, he found an even bigger mess. A lamp had been knocked over, and the throw rug was wadded against one wall. In the front room the TV was loudly blaring a cartoon channel and the family room was strewn with toys and various items of clothing. In the kitchen, dishes filled the sink, breakfast food was spilled on the counter, the fridge door was open wide, dog food was spilled on the floor, a broken glass lay under the table, and a small pile of sand was spread by the back door. He quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over toys and more piles of clothes, looking for his wife. He was worried she might be ill or that something serious had happened. He was met with a small trickle of water as it made its way out the bathroom door. As he peered inside he found wet towels, scummy soap and more toys strewn over the floor. Miles of toilet paper lay in a heap and toothpaste had been smeared over the mirror and walls. As he rushed to the bedroom, he found his wife still curled up in the bed in her pajamas, reading a novel. She looked up at him, smiled, and asked how his day went. He looked at her bewildered and asked, "What happened here today?" She again smiled and answered, "You know every day when you come home from work and you ask me what in the world I do all day?" ''Yes," was his incredulous reply. She answered,"Well, today I didn't do it."

I love that I think I will borrow it and put it on my blog. Brylee looks so grown up in that picture. She is getting that way, it is amazing how fast they grow up. Before we know it they will be driving cars and dating. How crazy is that. I hope payson is feeling better.

That is awesome! I love Brylee's hair. I can't believe how long and thick it is. Nastics looks like so much fun. Where do you go and what time and days? It would be fun to get Kinlee in a class.
