When the Wife Leaves Home

I left Tuesday morning before breakfast, came home tonight . . to this!

In the second picture, just look . . the empty milk jug is left on the counter (instead of rinsing and placing in the recycle container just outside the kitchen door in the garage .. they have to walk right by it to get to their vehicles). The little trash container is running over. Yes, it’s small but it would have been running over had I left a 50 gallon drum in the kitchen. The paper towels are gone and no one bothered to put a new roll on the container.

I spent just a few minutes cleaning and it’s all spiffy, clean dishes unpacked from the dishwasher, it’s reloaded and running again, excess dishes that didn’t fit are washed and put away, countertops are polished.

Notice the windows are open — we’ve been one week without air conditioning and it is supposed to be fixed tomorrow. I surely hope so!


OK . . the kitchen is clean and Chad arrives home . . hungry! I dared him to mess up the kitchen! He had sent me a list of what he wanted from Panera Bread if I found one in Springfield and I did find one. Notice his nice haircut! 🙂
