Woman’s Work

-Right now, I’m silently cursing the ‘internet provider’ that has failed to deliver more times than not. I shall upload this tomorrow, so Happy Tuesday.

I’m going through the process of Not Relaxing my hair anymore. Eventually, I shall cut it. And then perhaps start wearing Large Hoop Earrings, just in case.

I’m supposed to be studying, among other things, and it feels like I’ve hit a wall. A big solid wall that I built somehow and I haven’t the good sense to walk around it, for some reason. Thus continuing the head bashing ceremony…

I do have a story……

There’s a man and a woman; husband and wife. Two children; big enough to keep themselves active, small enough to need adult help for most everything else. Lets put ‘em all in a house. No pets, sorry – just take the family of four as is.

Momma is a Doctor, and as it goes in Doctor-dom, she’s thigh-high in her residency.

This means when they call you fly. This means you wear a hideous green thing and catch zzz’s on a cot when your lucky.

Graveyard shifts are a normal thing.

Go back to the house.

Normally, the Husband is not at home, for reasons. Lets put him on a plane and say he traveled. So on getting back, he joins the merry trio and makes four.

One day, when it is a packed house, Momma leaves for work sometime in the day and returns early the next day.

She asks her husband if he has eaten.

He hasn’t.

She asks if the kids have eaten.

They haven’t.

She is incredulous. Tired and hungry as she is, energy from somewhere is used to vex.

With no one at home to do the cooking, husband and father didn’t think to feed his kids, who are Entirely unable to enter the kitchen unsupervised – if at all.

Momma makes something for the yungin’s and puts ‘em to bed. Sleeps herself.

Papa gets nada.

Perhaps her speeches about trying to understand that she was at work while he did nothing – and that feeding the children is really Not too much to ask…. Perhaps they spoke.

After the next graveyard shift she took, she came home to find the children fed.

-Pray for me, please, this laziness bug has to Die!

-I also woke up rather sickish this morning... :( so you can help me pray bout that too!!!

Here's to all of ya'll that feel 100%, ya'll don't know how good you have it..
