Cindy, I have a great husband or I would never be able to do all that I do. From the day we first had dinner together he has always done the dishes. He cooks many nights for us and does housework too though I try to keep him away from the laundry room. I generally only work one day a week but sometimes I work 2 or 3 days a week but that is the exception and not the rule (unfortunately financially at least). When I am finally done with school in the fall I will work full time but I am still considering going to pharmacy school for a doctorate in pharmacy. It's tough to get in and after the car accident I gave up school totally, having gone from being a Deans list student to a D student. I went back this past fall though and am hanging in there just for certification and not for a degree. I wouldn't be able to do any of it without my husband though. For all his faults I have to say he totally overlooks my many faults and is a better husband than any of my friend's husbands are. Off to have lunch with my 8 year old at his school. I'ts parent lunch day and he is actually excited to have me there. Lately he's kind of a "mom, go away" kid so I was surprised he wanted me to attend. And it's turkey ala king day! I love turkey ala king, even the school's version.
