Back to the Grind
Tomorrow I have to go back to teaching. 
Sigh. The vacation was great while it lasted. My husband is off for the national holiday and will have the joy of caring for both children since the daycare center (government sponsored) is also closed. Cue the laughter. 
Poor man. Whenever the baby has had an accident, grabbing her pants and saying, “YUCK!” his response has been, “Honey? She’s calling for you.”
All I can say is, tomorrow it’s all you, babe. Have fun with the kidlets 
while I’m teaching.
Seriously, though, he’s a great father. Never once do I panic when he’s home with the kids. Laugh, maybe, but I don’t worry about them not being fed, put down for naps, etc. He’s great about that.
When it comes to bedtime stories, they could use a little work. He likes to tell “Dad’s Story.” He’ll lean in, smile and say, “Once upon a time….The End!” and kiss the unsuspecting child on the cheek. Now my wise three-year-old will glare and say, “I don’t want Dad’s story. Read this one!” and shove a book at him.
Today we were driving home from furniture shopping (They had New Year’s Sale ads in the paper and both shops we wanted to visit were closed. :duh:). My son overheard us remarking on the unintelligent shopkeepers who happened to publish false information and said, “They’re bad drivers, aren’t they?”
“Who?” I asked him.
“The morons. Dad says they’re bad drivers.”
I shot my beloved A Look and asked, “How would you like to handle this one, honey?”
He grinned. “We’ll pretend we didn’t hear him.”
If this is an indicator of the next ten years, my darling husband will need a hearing aid fairly soon.

I go back to work tomorrow, too. I had a great vacation, though.
Hope your students were nice to you and didn’t drive you TOO nuts!
Mary Says:
Ugh, going back to work is tough. I don’t start till 23rd. College is the best for long vacations.
Amy K. Says:
My kids know all about the bad drivers out there too!
Kelly Says:
Hmm… my father suffered from what we liked to refer to as selective deafness when I was growing up. Now he hears about things and goes ‘why didn’t I know about this?’. Well duh old man, why do you think??
Olga Says:
Lol! Love the story! Hugs on the end of vacation. Believe me, I know how you feel!
Christina Says:
Yup….EXACTLY why men don’t know what’s going on…why they say we never told them. BUT, I LOVE that the shopkeepers and drivers have been lumped into the same category!!!
