I Wasn't a Nice Wife Today

We went to a Christmas party this afternoon (only available date because this same group is running a train display at an area mall thru Jan 2nd), and while there, Saxton got into a jello salad.  DH brings him to me, passing TWO sinks, and tells me that Saxton needs cleaned up.

I was floored.  And irritated.  I, unkindly, said, "Well then, back up 6 feet to the kitchen sink and clean him up!"  and then turned my back on them.

I think livid would be a good description of how I felt about the whole matter since.

I *really* wanted to walk upstairs and call him a neanderthal and kick him in the balls.  However, my common sense said to handle it rationally.  (stoopid common sense)

Needless to say, the look on his face when I told him how much his actions irked me today, was priceless.  Even more priceless, was hearing his heartfelt apology, followed by the words, "being responsable sucks.  Especially when you have a 2 year old."

*snort*

I may still accidently kick him in the balls "in my sleep" tonight...

Nothing about that makes you a "not nice" wife!  I would have done the same thing, and also thought about the ball kicking.

While DH doesn't do that much with DS (I think the whole SAH thing bit that in the butt), he does it with housework...

I love you, Jenni. This is great.
