Domesticity - the other side
20 Feb 2006
Today is the first day Blair has spent the whole day at school. It's almost time to pick her up.
I've been for an hour long walk with heart-rate increasing hills, there's washing up in the sink, who knows where the laundry floor is, have no idea what's for dinner. I'm wearing no makeup and just got out of the smelly sweats about half an hour ago. I am at least 25 kilos overweight and have not had a haircut since October.
And when husband comes home from his 13 hour day at the officeand very long commute I'll first whinge about the kids, tell him apologetically that there's no dinner because I was too tired. But he will get this:
"Look honey, I taught myself to do counted cross stitch on this beautiful linen I bought at the craft fair and the pattern is going to be a lovely celtic heart which I intend to frame and hang it on that little wall next to the kids bathroom. I always thought we needed something there. What do you think? Do you like it?"
Oh yes, he's got a trophy wife all right. (Snort)
