It was just for a second, I swear! I guess that's all it took. Check out this pic. and see what I've had to put up with while TRYING to unpack and get us settled into our nice new home. Yeah. I suppose I should have known better considering that something like this happens, umm, all the time! It's moments like these that I wish I would keep track of better and take more pictures of. Yes, for the intrinsic value of the photo, for the joy of being able to look back upon the times that passed so fast and to laugh at the hilarity of it all, but also for a reason that many of you may not be thinking of... for the shear purpose of defending myself.
Okay, okay, I know it's kind of silly, but photos like this need to be taken and stuck away as PROOF, proof that I, as a stay-at-home mom, really do have a lot of work to do all day. Something to show to Jeremy when he comes home at the end of a long day of work and asks, in disbelief as he looks around at the remnants of a house that was semi-clean when he left in the morning, "What did you do all day?" Those six little words that I'm sure every stay-at-home mom has heard at some point in her stay-at-home career, those words that make you cringe and begin to boil and lash out at the poor, aloof and unknowing hubby. Those words that every man soon learns NEVER to say, especially after you decide to leave him home all day to cook for, clean-up after and pacify children all day without even a warning to beware the yogurt monster.
