My husband and my brother wanted to go bowling last night. Normally, it’s a Saturday night and weekends are for family. But, Erik (Otion Store Manager) and the hubby really wanted to spend some guy time. But, we had a living room full of gifts to be wrapped, cooking for 9 to do, and a thorough house cleaning to perform before my Mother showed up.
Our conversation went like this:
Hubby: “Well, I know we have all of the cooking, cleaning and gift wrapping left to do before your folks arrive at 5 tomorrow, but I really want to go bowling and just hang out. Please?”
Me: (sigh) “Honey, tomorrow won’t be enough time to cook the food, wrap the presents and clean our house. It’s a mess!”
Hubby: “I’ll work super hard on it tomorrow. I swear. You can just sit on the couch and read all night while I’m out. When’s the last time you got to do that?”
Me: (grudingly) “Well, you do have a point. And, I do have a book club book to read.”
Hubby: (silence) (pleading eyes)
Me: “Okay, go out. Have fun. Be home by 11 so we can get a good night’s sleep at least?”
As soon as he was out the door, I was doing the happy soaping dance! Woo-Hoo! Forget the book club book; a night to myself to make soap and goodies! What could be better?
Within 15 minutes, all the counters in our house were covered with soap and bath fizzy making stuff.
I made bath fizzies.
I made lotion (Berry Red Labcolor and Rosehip Jasmine fragrance).
I made liquid soap (Berry Red Labcolor with Rosehip Jasmine fragrance).
I made M&P soap.
And, I was 85% cleaned up by the time he got home so I didn’t even get caught.
You bring “party animal” to a whole new level. LOL!
Ooh, I’m so jealous! I’d love a few hours of peace to play = )
I love this! The best part is I imagine all the important chores will get done for your company, and you still had time to sneak in the “happy soap dance”. Life is good.
Happy Holidays!
I hear ya! It is a sickness, I tell you. Don’t worry, you’re not alone. =D
