Kids went back to school Tuesday. Since then I have cleaned house top to bottom, restocked, got the veg garden going, walked the dog several times, been to the doctor with worrying health issue, fed us all, done nearly three weeks of ironing, changed all the beds etc etc. you know, all the usual. In other words, I've done my best to get us back on track, as we were a bit behind.
We are off out for the whole day today, a very important occasion so I am busy getting all our kit sorted and that we are in good shape for that.
Not so DH has just discovered that I did not, in my tour of cleaning duties, clean under the sofa cushions. This is something I would probably normally do every now and then, but with the whole house to do top to bottom this week, it got missed. I also missed, a simple mistake to dust the dining table. So, I did 95% at least of the house, missed those two things.
He is now going on about how the house is a MESS, and if I'm going to clean why can't I do it PROPERLY and he's off to do it. Right now. In the midst of us preparing to go out for a 12 hour stint with 2 young DC's. It cannot wait, and even though we won't be here to use or appreciate the clean sofa (under) and dining table (used once in a blue moon), he still insists it MUST BE DONE.
Yesterday, on return from GP with slightly concerning news, he was very kind (which to be honest, he mostly is) and said look, do whatever you feel like today, just take it easy, try not to worry, I'll take you out for lunch. And we did, and it was very nice.
But today, Jekyll has turned to Hyde. It's like the flick of a switch.
I'm miffed that he feels he needs to MAKE HIS POINT by doing this right now, and miffed with myself a bit for missing two items of the housework. But hey, that's not the end of the world? He would think so, clearly, as it is worth us being behind schedule for our day out - hence i have the time to post this whilst he cleans up MY MESS!!!!!!
I feel a bit mean posting this, and of course, this is saving me two jobs to do (!) but it really hacks me off that he had to go off the deep end. I did everything else ffs.
