I remember hearing a joke once about a husband that came home from work to find his house in a disaster. There were snow skis on the roof, the family dog was outside chasing the cat and the furniture sat on the front lawn. When he ran inside to see what had happened it was even worse. The kids were running wild and the house was turned completely upside down. Thinking that something was horribly wrong with his wife, he scrambled to find her. After searching the entire house, he desperately looked in the last place he could think. There she was, sitting in their bed with a big bowl of ice cream. Panic stricken he bellowed out, "Are you OK?! What is GOING ON?!" His wife calmly looked at her husband with a spoon in her hand and replied, "You know how you always ask me what it is that I could possibly 'do' all day long?...Well...today I didn't do it."
I'm lucky to have a husband that doesn't go crazy when he comes home to a house that is wild. Between the kids, the dishes, laundry, toys, pancake syrup and Lord knows what else, it's hard to tell what he's going to find. It feels like sometimes we're just hanging on in survival mode. I can only hope that one day our house will be spotless, the dishes done and laundry put away. Until that day we'll keep having fun and getting by. We might even have a couple bowls of ice cream while we're at it.
