Hello World

Yep I did it, I joined the world of bloggers hehehe. There may be days I post and may be days I dont. There are just somedays I need to vent and noone's around to listen. Or days when something fun or exciting happens that i want to share. Let's start with today. This is a venting day. I have 2 children, Lana is age 6 and in Kindergarten. Connor is age 4 and in pre-school, So you can imagine my weeks are pretty busy. This is a typical day for me: My husband, Tom is a Specialist in the United States Army so he's up and out of the house by 6am, which is usually the time I get out of bed during the week. I'll get up around 6am, I'll have a half hour of peace and quiet before thekids get up around 6:30 or so. I'll get them breakfast, usually cereal as at 6:30am i'm not awake enough for anything else lol. I'll let them watch cartoons for a while then ab out 6:45 I'll get my son dressed for school. His bus comes at about 7:30 which gives me a half hour to get my daughter dressed, which is usally quite a battle as she hates having her hair brushed lol. Lana's bus comes at about 8:20 or so. By then Tom's home for morning break. I'll have some more coffee then spend the rest of my day cleanin after 2 men (my father in law lives with us) 2 kids, and 6 animals (i have some kittens i'm tryin to get rid of). I leave to pick up my son at 2:30pm, my daughter gets home at 4:30pm, hubby shortly after so we do dinner, bath, bed etc. Pretty busy week right? So this morning i think "oh yes it's saturday i can sleep in for a little while. " WRONG, my kids got up at 6 and Tom decided it was my turn to get up as "he works hard all week and i dont leave the house for work" um....what? I work just as hard as him, I just dont leave the house or get paid for it. So now, even though it's saturday i still have a ton of housework to do while he gets to sit and relax all day.....does this sound fair? Men just dont understand....a housewifes work is NEVER done. We don't get weekends off or sick days. We stillhave to get up and make sure the house is in order. Trust me I've tried taking days off......it is a nightmare everytime I do. A few weeks ago, I decided to take a weekend off and go to Pennsylvania to visit one of my best friends. All I asked was that Tom didnt let the house get destroyed while i was gone. I came home and it took me 3 days to get my house back in order! So my question is.........when is it my turn to have one day when there's absolutly NOTHING that has to be done? And the answer? When my children are in college! I dont know how many of you are going to read this......I'm mainly doing this for myself as a way to vent so i dont lose my mind. But all are welcome to read and comment! More to come later........maybe later today maybe tomorrow, you'll NEVER know :P Have a great weekend!
