I Need a Wife...Life, I mean

Sorry for the slip into a dreaded stereotype, but, ladies and gentlemen, I need either more hours in the day, or someone to take care of the day while I work may *#%$*! off.

Nothing extreme, five more hours would be lovely. And could I have them before midnight, so I'm not too exhausted to put them to good use? Then I could get the laundry done, do the carpool and afterschool activities, cook a lovely meal that I'd actually enjoy eating and maybe even dust (though I don't like to shoot the moon when I'm dreaming). With all my free evening time, I'll be able to move on to writing the stories clammering to escape my imagination, if only I could plant my buttocks in my office chair long enough to write every once and a while. Ahhhh...venting never felt so good...

Okay, maybe my wife would look more like this...whataya think, Jack??? I hear she loves to knit and grow her own veggies and cook organically and, well, basically do the earth mother thing...while looking fabulous...I'd have to hate her if I didn't admire all that so much.

BTW, all the above is my rather harried way of saying, sorry to be so tardy getting back to the blog this week, but I know you know what I mean...did I mention my son's in an advanced math class this year, and they have extra homework and at least one project every week...Good thing I went to GA Tech and haven't forgotten everything geeky I learned there...

And so there's no confusion, my dh does more than his fair share of the work around here. He's amazing. More than any woman deserves, especially one with totally not-there people chattering away in her head while she cooks dinner ;O)

But, we're in the enviable situation of both our careers thriving at the same time, which should be a good thing. But like my mother always says, too much of a good thing...starts to look kinda scary when Anna's not sleeping enough, LOL!! So, back to the original idea that perhaps what we need is one more adult around here picking up our laundry and cooking what we like to eat and keeping track of our homework and afterschool schedules and basically making the rest of the world outside of work doable...Or maybe I'm just whining... What the hell, wine for everyone!!

So, enough about my day, LOL!!! Kick back, have a drink, and tell me what's going on with you ;O)

Oh, don't let me forget our winner from last week's comments:


Pat--who posted on Friday!!!!!

Congrats, Pat. Send me your snail mail addie so I can your pillow and SEP signed book on its way to you.

Tomorrow (promise ;o), come back and see the newest RWA National goodies I simply have to get out of my house...'cause then I don't have to move them when I dust!!! Leave a comment between now and next Wednesday, so you'll be in the running to win.

Just curious... Know anyone who'd be interested in some ARCs of the new Harlequin Nocture line?????


Off to ask Jules what's for dinner...
