Veteran's Day... No Work? Yea Right!

First of all, I would like to say "Thank You" to all of our Veterans who have fought for our country.

Now....

Most people think of Veterans Day as a day off of work... i.e. My Husband. HA! Here is my Husband's Day today.... Does this sound like a day off of work to you?

Wake up to screaming children
Get one child dressed while the other three run around and cry they are hungry and want mommy (whom daddy let sleep in)
Feed children
Take oldest to school while other three watch TV (keep in mind he still hadn't woke me up at this point)
Come home to find sliced cheese all over the house and kids claiming they are hungry (Hungry?? What about all the sliced cheese you just ate.)
Wife wakes up, make her breakfast.
Take out trash
Clean Kitchen
Take kids outside to play
Feed all kids lunch
Take child to school (we have a 3 year old that goes half-day)
Drive 20 minutes with wife to pick up car on base
Go to commissary for a few items
Drive 20 minutes back home
Clean Living Room
Find more sliced cheese under couch - vacuum
Pick up two kids from school
Clean up more messes found upstairs
Feed kids dinner
Give them a Bath
Play upstairs with them
Lay down with them until they all fall asleep.


NOW BEFORE YOU START SAYING "AWWWW POOR GUY, IT WAS HIS DAY OFF" REMEMBER THIS, MOMS DON'T GET WEEKENDS OFF, WE DO THIS 7 DAYS A WEEK AND WE DON'T GET PAID!!!

Just a little food for thought for all those guys out there....... :) Have a great Veteran's Day!
