The other day I flopped next to hubby in the living room and prefaced what I had to say with “I’m just throwing this out there – don’t take it too seriously, k?”
So now that I had his attention, I said how when I was cleaning the stove, I kinda liked it… made it all shiny and clean n’ everything. Then I was on a roll, and polished all of the stainless, and even started dinner. But that’s where it stopped. Time up. Had a deadline to complete with a web client… ok. Party’s over.
So what I actually said to him was “I wish I didn’t have the business, and just worked a couple of days at the hospital, then I could be all domestic and stuff again. Shop, clean, cook…. wouldn’t that be nice?”
“YA, r-i-i-i-g-h-t. That would last about a week. You wouldn’t be able to quit doing your computer work even if you were paid to quit!”
“Hmmph. Well, I don’t know about that, but it sure sounds like a lovely change for awhile, ya know?”
Then I hopped off of the couch, leaned over for a “you’re my buddy” kiss, and trotted off back to my office. It’s nice to have those heart to heart talks on occasion, ya know?
Kitty! You crack me up! Thanks for making me laugh and feel good. You inspire me to clean my own house today. -Thoroughly!
Adorable animated gif.
Nice to see you post again.

I hear ya’ I often fantasize about getting out of the business, lot’s of stress and the clients always want something done “yesterday”. It’d be nice to have a job where I can just clock-in do my 8 and go home…..It’s the creative outlett side of it though that keeps “sucking” me back in!
Hi Kitty,
I think of thigs like that too .I wonder if I should just quit my job so I could push my artwork more. I want to try and do SOOOO many things, but a weekend is not enough time :(
Husband says that his goal is to make enough money so I can quit my 8-5 job, it’s sure a nice thought, but reality is I’m the one who pays our for or medical insurance– he’s self-employed. I know I am pretty much stuck at my job for a long time. …especially with my medical history. Oh well…things could be worse right? At least I HAE a job! can you tell I am missing a certain key on my keyboard?
Ya :( it rhymes with bee.

I think it’s pretty cool you have a hubby who knows you so well and accepts you just as you are. :o)
Hi guys – sorry, I don’t stick around long enough to join in the conversation after I post…. hey Rita, nice to see you – and jif & Krishanna of course.
Lori – yup, me too. I’m the one with the insurance from the hospital, so I’ll be there for-ever. s’ok, at least I’m part-time there.
