It makes me sad.

That that poem/story about the woman saying she was going to bed-- and did all those chores, and the man said he was going to bed and did is SO true.

We went upstairs at the same time-- he threw the CLEAN laundry on the floor, crawled in bed, and went to sleep. I changed Cookies, got her fresh water, read her a story, sat and held her hand while she fell asleep. Then I picked the clean laundry up off the floor, hung&folded it, put it away, started a fresh load of wash, picked up the trash, moved his shoes so I wouldn't trip on them, then finally got to crawl into bed... And that was just the upstairs stuff.

So often I feel lazy- because my house is ALWAYS a mess- but if I quit- or if I took "vacation"-- everything would go to hell in a hand basket. I know he works hard, I know he goes to school. I just wish he could see everything I do and not take it for granted.

Most people don't get that a simple "Thank you" goes a long way.
