so tonight starts eric's thanksgiving vacation. he took a whole extra week off. i was really excited and mentioned it to angela, his sister, and she sd, "oh, here comes the REAL test"....and it got me to thinking....
today i wasn't feeling well. i have a sore throatish/neck-or-something...i'm a little achey. i'm tired. i feel like going to bed. it hurts when i swallow, but more the muscles of my neck than a gritty throat. eric told me today to take a nap, but he must not know me that well to think i could do that when there's stuff to be done. so in spite of my cranky body, i managed to finish and put away 4 loads of laundry, cleaned out all of the old food in the fridge, washed 3 loads of dishes (after cleaning out the tupperware in the fridge), oiled the table, unclogged a couple of toilets, supervised the boys with chores, retrieved daydra who had escaped twice, cleaned off the counters, paid bills, helped the boys paint christmas ornaments, wrote a letter to a friend, made meatloaf, rice and gravy, AND made cinnamon rolls and frosted them. so eric comes home from work, and opens the fridge and sd, "you didn't clean the shelves off?" WHAT??? IS HE KIDDING ME?? to be truthful, i think the test has already begun.
to be fair, i'm sure he wasn't complaining. i don't think he had any idea how crushed i felt to hear him say it---and don't you tell him!!----but that was like a minor slug to the nuts. if i had any.
excuse my french. my english fell asleep about 3 hours ago. :(
