Shutterbugmama's Journal

I've tried to be quiet; It's impossible.

I cant be the only American Housewife who's now suffering because of the recent lay-offs; WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?  Is that...my husband?  I vaguely remember him, although....

I DONT REMEMBER:

1. Him being here, everyday, day in, day out, all DAY LONG!

2. I dont remember cleaning up so many messes in the kitchen...

3. I forgot all about how important "The Garage" actually is; in fact, I forgot we even had a garage!

4. I dont recall ever having to ask another adult what they want for lunch...suddenly, we're not ALL cheering for mac n' cheese.

Yeah, this aint lunch with the co-workers, pal...sorry. 

Who wants a juice box?

5. I am increasingly annoyed by the fact that they guy SLEEPS IN, EVERY DAY, SINCE WORK ENDED.

GET UP!

Excuse me...Sir?  Yeah, life actually goes on....

Uh-huh, I swear it...

6. It appears there's a "sound" coming form the front of the truck.

(Yeah, right...that's a just a reason to grab a beer and stay outside all day...NEAR YOUR GARAGE!

7. I can tell you, WITH ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY, who is to blame for my wet ass.

MY BOYS ARE TRAINED TO PUT THE SEAT DOWN....

That man???  Apparently isn't here often enough to know the rules....

8. I'm on a can/bottle/cup collecting routine.  Perhaps I should cash it all in at the recycling center and keep the cash Im earning? 

9. (Does he have a volume button???)

10. Wait...wait just one sec...

HE JUST TOOK THE TRASH OUT, and refilled my coffee cup....

Alright...he can stay, I guess.

For a while...
