Secret Life of a Housewife
Mr. Lime came home the other night and the house was not clean enough for his liking. He pointed out the various areas in which he felt I had been lax and then asked that question I love so much.......'What on earth do you do all day?' After providing an ice bag for the welts on his head caused by repeated forceful contact with the toilet brush I considered the following answers.
1. I watched the 'Jerry Springer' marathon all day.
2. I alphabetized the spice rack.
3. I indulged in nothing but champagne and fine chocolates while reading trashy romance novels.
4. I entertained 6 different lovers.
5. I drove to NYC and maxed out the credit cards on 5th Avenue.
6. I hired a buff gardener and watched him work.
7. I took a bubble bath, all day. See this pruny skin??
8. I pondered existentialism.
9. I pondered my navel.
10. I pondered the feasability of an insanity defense and where to bury the corpse.

I like those answers!
Mr Logo, who suffered the misfortune of marrying a redhead learned pretty quickly that THAT was a question teetering between foolish and downright suicidal.
Now, thinking that he is settle, he asks, looking around pointedly, "So, um, are you not feeling well?"

Hah! Here's what I do. I make a list of exactly everything I do, including every time I pee, eat, let the dog in or out, answer the phone, what I sew, every client that comes over, ever single interruption, how long it took me to pick up Hannah from school even though it's just one mile away because there are 4 schools on one block that all get out at the same time, resulting in massive traffic jams every day at 3 pm, etc. I am sure to include the times too.
I need to do that about once a month so he gets the idea that I dont sit around blogging all day! He usually gets the hint.

My husband has bravely asked that same question before and I kindly replied " I have been on the phone or running for your forgetful ass all day which does not leave much room for cleaning" ! Mr. Breazy doesn't say much to me about the house because I obsess over it most days, but other days I just don't have time . :)

I said that once. I got the kids, and the dog for a day, nothing got done. We did however discover that model rocket engines and legos are fun, but make a huge mess

I'm pretty sure #8 & #9 are basically the same thing.
I have to admitt I have asked myself the same question when it feels like I have done nothing all day. Sometimes I'll make a list...sometimes it makes me feel better about what I've accomplished...sometimes it "inspires" me for the next day ;)

I'm glad you smacked your husband. Tell him most days you sit and ponder the ways you can annoy him. :)

Does he have a blog? We can always assault him in writing, too.
