When I was still married to a man, I would leave him with the children about once every 6 months. It never failed, after only 30 minutes he would call and give his litany of troubles "I can't find the wipes", "She won't stop screaming"... on and on, ad infinitum. Then inevitably I would get home and the children hadn't even been fed yet, and he was still on the computer. It is an amazing thing they don't all die horribly unnatural deaths. That is soo funny.

We're in the middle of a Sunday-night quarterbacking situation at this instant. Friday (at school) was a very bad day and the consquences, so far? Nada. Aaargh. Grrrr.

He can immediately tell the kind of day I've had by my telephone etiquette when he calls to bid everyone a good-night safely from work. He knows better than to judge when I fly off the handle and threaten the kids with bodily harm. Not that I'd ever rip their spleens out of their bodies, but sometimes it just feels good to say so. Hope you've had a great Mother's Day, and that you've exercised enough self control to not stab your husband. ;) <abbr><em>mrsbear’s last blog post..<a href="http://outnumberedtwotoone.wordpress.com/2009/05/10/happy-mothers-day/" rel="nofollow">Happy Mother’s Day</a></abbr></em> On the days my husband works, he’s gone for a full 24 hours.

My husband knows better to not sit in judgement of me and my mothering skills. He can tell just by looking at my face when he walks through the door after work if it's been a good day or a bad day with the kids.
