(The Paparazzi was there to greet him at the shuttle...)
I often catch myself complaining that if I'd just go away for a few days, everyone would notice how hard I work and appreciate me more. Well, call me humbled. Dan has been away since Sunday, and boy did we miss him! And do I ever appreciate everything he does around here:
*Wood for the woodstove has to be cut down with a chainsaw. (Not fun. Pretty scary, to be honest.)
*Geriatric dog needs to go out round-the-clock. Dan has night duty. (Not fun. Exhausting, actually.)
*Feed the dogs. (P.U.)
*Make sure above mentioned geriatric dog takes her medicine - 4 different kinds - twice daily. (I learned some new tricks with this one...)
*Garbage patrol. (Yuck-o.)
*Grocery shopping. (Okay, that actually was fun, but I hadn't done it in ages.)
*Being a dad and doing what dads do. (Ummm...I'm a mom, so I can't be a dad...)
The dogs were thrilled to see their *person* again:
So, wow. You won't hear me walking about grumbling that I'm the only one who does anything around here.
***At least not for a couple days***
