I am having one of those days where I am mad at my husband and daughter. They both are so much alike and always high strung, moody and think I have all the answers to every freaking question in the universe. WTH would happen if I croaked...can you two not fend for yourselves?
If I don't do it....it never gets done!!!!!
I just want to say the hell with it.......

Yes, it seems that most things fall upon the woman. I'm not sure how that happened but sometimes it's good to take a day off. Declare it first thing in the morning and stick to it all day.. should they ask for anything just smile and say.. I'm taking today off remember? Hopefully they will not only fend for themselves but get into the spirit of things and fend for you as well. Also important to keep in mind... guilt is not allowed on days off.

Fried,
I think a lot of us can identify with you. This whole week I have not been feeling great as I am off he bioidentical hormones (long story on why), so I haven't been my "efficient" self. This morning, I noticed that gas was low and told my daughter I had to get gas...well, she had a hissy fit and said it was my job to make sure that there was gas in my car, etc. and that she was going to be late for school...this child has NEVER, EVER been late for school. Anyway, I said or rather screamed back to her that ...she and her Dad used the car last and why didn't they remind me that the gas was low or even better fill up the d**m car... sorry venting here.
I too would love to have a day all to myself and have done so but find that the work just piles up...
