A day Off

A DAY OFF...Okay here is the question.......is there really such a thing?

Here is the thing...you work all week at a job...then come home. You do home things, you know, the important stuff, feed kids, sniff test kids and deciede wether or not they need shower, get them out of bathing suits, wash nescessary bathing suits and towels, drag kids to bed and/or go to bed forgetting the mess on the floor. of course drop clothes as you walk into door. house looks like a hurricane hits it....not to worry i have a day off over the weekend.

But here comes the weekend, "i have got the weekend off" well do you really? Now i have to pick up the hurricane of a mess. At least i am consistent, clothes always land on floor, near the laundry basket. dishes always end up in sink or water bottles by the bed, floor always needs to be washed because every morning spraying kids down with sunscreen there are little foot print marks in floor where you spray them. (one day i will spray them outside)

So today is my only day off of the week from work. Now today i would not consider a day off though.

I picked up all the rooms, changed all the sheets, remade all the beds, vacumed the floors, cleaned the bathroom, washed all the dishes, mopped and waxed the floors, then went grocery shopping, then folded ever stitch of clothing i own! (it was heaped up over the whole couch)

So not really a day off now is it?

As a kid my dad always said there was no such thing as a day off. I get it now!

If anyone knows where i can find a day off let me know. I think it is called a maid.

Peace.
