Yes, I mean you, my darling husband, and you, my dear son.

That load of laundry I just started washing?

That was the same load of laundry I started washing last Sunday before I left to go to Tennessee.

Anyone remember that load?

The load, dear husband, that I mentioned you needed to move from the washer to the dryer when you got your sheets out of the dryer? (Yes, I noticed that you managed to get the sheets out of the dryer and on the bed so that you could go to sleep that night.)

And you, dear son, whose room is right beside the laundry room, remember the last words I said to you before I left to go to Tennessee? I believe it went something like, "If I come home and that same load of laundry is still in the washing machine, both you and your father are in deep do do."

Let the beatings begin!

I told the guys that I was taking the weekend off.  I wasn't going to fold laundry, remind them to take baths, cook, or entertain them.  They were on their own, don't talk to me, live if you can.

Day one went fairly well.  I only had to remind the boys once or twice (each) that i was off, and they had to find their own shit, put together their own food, and not bother me.  Stayed in my PJs until 2pm.  Read lots (online).  Answered and cleaned out emails, posted pics to Facebook, talked to my mother on the phone for about 2 hours.  She's broken down and gotten on Facebook.

But I did not live up to my resolution to read at least one hour every day from a BOOK.  What does this say about the time I'm online?

Day two now.  They apparently don't believe me about the I'm not cooking thing.  I don't know why, I rarely cook on the weekend anyway.  I guess they just can't believe that I really do not care when, if or what they eat.  And apparently it came as a big surprise to them that they were not "off" either.  That the birds still had to be fed, and the dishes were not going to pile up all over the kitchen waiting for me.

Ah well, think I'll go read now.  I finally managed to start Dead Until Dark and I quite like it so far.

On the second of Jan., I started a list of things I need to take care of.  It was  about half a page -- approx 10 separate items, some of which required several steps. Then i began working on it and all the other things that pop up as things would go.  Some of these things had to be added to the list.  Now, at the end of 2.5 days of working on the list, I've marked off 5 things, and added four things.  And started a secondary list of things I want to get to, but will have to wait.
