Umm...your husband could learn to make his own lunch, maybe help out a little more...grab a crock pot, use the slow cooker...
ReplyDeleteI have a slowcooker, but to be honest I'd rather spend 20 minutes on meal prep when I get home than add another 5 minutes to my morning (and have to wake up earlier).
ReplyDeleteThis was just my day, not hubby's. He is a grad student with exams and papers to write. He has his own day. I promise you, he's not just sitting around the whole time.
whew... Life moves fast!!! I'm there with you. I found your blog through the comment you left on mine... the give away for the November Simple Family Supper is over, but you can grab the menu anytime. Working women say it really saves them a bundle of time and mental effort.
ReplyDeleteThank you for being a teacher! I know you dedicate a ton of energy and extra time (non school hours) to your students. My children are blessed this year to have FANTASTIC teachers.... THANK YOU for being a teacher!!!!
Heather
No offense, but I will willingly trade with you.
