I want to kill her for what she's done.
I want to feel my powerful fingers around her throat!

I want to see her grimace as overwhelming fear sets deep in her widened eyes!

I want to feel her body grow limp in my grasp!

I want to see her in her death agony!

"Yes my sweet, I'll have dinner all set for you and your ladies group. I'm just tidying things up a bit.
Laundry and all you know."

"See you at six? Alright dear. Yes dear. Good-bye dear."

That's really a great rendering of modern times in a household. Once upon a time husbands would have been horrified had they been asked to exchange the roles ... Now there are brave ones who apparently fit nicely into the role of house husband, but what goes on in their minds you have just told us and I bet you didn't even exaggerate!!

Like WE weren't thinking the same thing when HE called and said the the same thing we we were ever LUCKY enough to GET to be a STAY HOME mom.  Funny now that the Guys are doing it, it is a luxury for us Gals to be able to stay home.  It has always been an underrated job. You point out a good work ethic and rule of thumb for getting along ...sometimes you just grin and bear it and do stuff you'd rather not (with a smile).
Enjoyed your realistic write.

It's a sure bet you were, but what was your reaction when he told you he was having his "ladies group" over?

Thanks for the 'hit' Lori (Please! No pun intended nor desired!)
