You come home from a gig at 2pm, exhausted.....

Poll question: You come home from a gig at 2pm, exhausted.....

You haven't eaten since dinner the night before, and you've barely had time to spend with your child, who's totally engrossed in video games. There's a stack of dishes the size of Mauna Kea in your sink. Your dirty laundry has gone on strike and is picketing at the basement door.

Your mom, who's been sitting for you today, informs you that your dog needs a bath.

What do you do?

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

1. Tell Mom..it's fine with you if she gives the dog a bath

and thanks for offering :D

[GoddessOfGuinness]

8. Now THERE's a sensible solution!

I chose the "Play with my kid" option. :)

Then we did some puzzles on one of his homeschool websites. :hi:

3. What Should Happen.

Have the dog watch over the kid and give mom a bath...with the doggie shampoo! :)

[GoddessOfGuinness]

10. Bwahaha!

The subliminal message being, "Quit yer bitchin'!"
I love it! :yourock:

4. It really isn't healthy to go that long without eatting

Seriously, take some granola bars around with you or something.

11. You're right...

I had some nuts I could have brought along; I just didn't think about it.

[LeftyMom]

5. Eat

I get really evil and scary when I haven't eaten.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

16. Me too...

I call it "Grouchy Tummy Syndrome".

[ScreamingMeemie]

6. The kid! The kid!! They lose sweet kidness soon enough. MrG is

playing with babyG right now and I think I'm going to join them. :hi:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

14. Ain't that the truth?!

I opted for play. Now I don't feel so guilty!

[bobbobbins]

7. screw the kid, just go to sleep

[GoddessOfGuinness]

12. I'll let him tuck me in later

and he can tell me a "Space Family" story.

13. A little of my day

Up at 530 am.. strip the bed, put it in the wash. Jump in the shower, dress for work. Tell the Hubby to put the sheets in the dryer at 300 when he returns. Wake the teenager tell her to clean her room before she leaves for school. Go to work, call the kid and make sure she is up and cleaned the room. Run all day 12 hours, only break is to pee.........take 3 calls from the kid. Pick the kid up at 715 and bring her home and tell her again to clean the room. pass the Hubby on the computer, find a 24 pack of tp sitting on the floor he got down and didn't put way. make the bed, clean the bird cages, do two loads of laundry, vacuum the living room. Load the dirty dishes. Make a cup of coffee.....here I am. an hour and 1/2 later. finally sitting, lets see.... why did I get married

[GoddessOfGuinness]

17. Because psychotherapy is so much fun!

That's as close as I get to having time to myself.

[shesemsmom]

18. LOL I tried that

it didn't work. They are both still here. I guess I'm doomed lol

[GoddessOfGuinness]

19. Ever go on strike?

Your house will suffer a bit...ok, maybe a lot...but at least you can get the point across that you aren't a maid.

[shesemsmom]

20. Nope, but I was sick once

and I saw what my house will look like 3 days after my death, I never want to go there again.:shrug:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

21. Then you might consider

informing the husband that you need a maid to help keep up and maintain your sanity.

[shesemsmom]

22. The last time I tried that

Hubby lost his full time job and I never got to try it. But he's working again after 2 years no work. I may after the first of the year try it again if he doesn't loss either of his political jobs
