Boy will my wife be surprised when she comes home Friday.
She will be surprised to see both boys still alive, the dishes done, the roof completed, the house (sorta clean), the plants watered, and the dog not in the attic.
It will stun her to learn that I only ate out twice, got all the groceries, made it to all the appointments, delivered all the paperwork and didn’t commit any crimes against humanity.
The house is still standing. Nobody raided us for any reason. The boys didn’t grow another arm.
Nothing to worry about, dear.
It’s funny how she had lots to worry about when Barb and Lacey left for a girls camp early Monday. She’s one of the people in charge and the chance for logistical nightmares are almost certain.
There’s plenty there to focus her attention until she returns Friday afternoon. Except she wasn’t worried about that. She didn’t think the boys could handle it together. She thought the earth would cave in under our house. Or we would need a bailout.
No, we’re good. Nothing to see here. I am perfectly fine.
There is one slight problem though.
It’s only Wednesday.

Good job making it that long! I remember when my Mom would go away for weeks at a time, and we'd have a last minute clean-up the day before she came home…

Look at you go! That's excellent. Still time to get into trouble but hopefully it flies by. I get paranoid leaving Mr. V and the kids on my Friday free days. I always wonder what the house (and sink) will look like when I get home. =)

Sounds like you will have no problem making it to Friday!
I got home from visiting my parents at the beach and Brett filled in me in on how well he handled everything at home. I did come home to a clean house and empty laundry bins. I did have to burst his bubble a little bit though and remind him that I had the kids with me the whole time and he only had to clean up after himself.
