After yesterday's antics at the ER and last nights limited sleep I started this fine Sunday stuck in bitch mode. Drew cooked a glorious breakfast of eggs benedict and while gathered around the table asked the preemptive question, "what are your expectations for today?" I proceeded to rattle off a long list of home economics. Then I begrudgingly left my breakfast half way through to put a grumpy snotty baby down for her nap. I came downstairs to zero home economic activity - just Drew chilling on the couch flipping through a Victoria's Secret catalog.
Here's where the philosophical differences play out:
Drew: What, I'm just relaxing. What's the problem?
Me: It's not okay to relax when so many chores need to get done. That's called being lazy and unhelpful.
Drew: The house isn't that bad.
Me: What are you talking about, it's filthy.
Drew: I think we have different standards of cleanliness.
Me: You're right, and lucky for you, you live with me, otherwise you'd be living in squalor. I'm going to go take a shower with G, speaking of filthy. Try and do something that won't piss me off in the meantime.
And fortunately for Drew this is what we came back to:
And this afternoon he's relaxing on the couch and I'm easing my way out of bitch mode and into chill Sunday mode too.
