"I just want to make sure you've got it"

This is what my loving husband just said to me with a smile as an answer to my question "why are you following me". He said, well, I don't know if it's ok for me to take a shower yet, "I just want to make sure you've got it". Huh?? Is he kidding???

In the land of the "stay at home mom", it is very common for 2 things to happen.

1. the very hardworking (and that doesn't go unnoticed) daddy always looks to you for guidance when alone with the children. ie: what should I feed them, what time do they go down for naps? Do they need a bath etc.

2. the very hardworking (and still appreciated) daddy acts as if the mommy is unable to function in his absence. This seems to only happen on the weekends and after long bouts of work travel.

Now, although i think my husband is the most fabulous father and husband and although i appreciate every little task he does regarding the children, it drives me absolutely CRAZY when my job as mom is somewhat challenged!

Now, I know that my husband just really wants to help because his job keeps him out of the house more than either of us would like and it is cute for me to see him trying to become the "alpha" parent. But lets face it, it aint gonna happen! :) For those of you who know me, you totally understand my complete and total refusal to ever give up control. Call it type A, control freak, anal retentive but it is what it is and I am who I am.

Ahh...I love Sunday mornings!!! Oh and there is the water in the shower...I hope I'll be ok!! :)

(and I say all of this with nothing but outrageous love and admiration for my husband...he's the greatest!!!)
