The phenomenon. I cant clean when my husband is home. Sure, I pick things up and move them around all day long. But Nothing Ever Gets Done. Phsycology: a)He's on vacation, I'm on vacation, b)the house fairies are afraid of men, c)must spend quality time with spouse and kids. I think its not an uncommon affliction: think Weekend Mess. elaborations: a) If im working, he should be working too, if he is playing, I have a free pass. b)true story: I think the whole dirty to clean transformation should maintain its mystery. Noone wants to watch you scrub a tub, toilet, walls, ect.. somehow they just magically appear clean when noone is looking (at me) I guess I dont like to be watched? and c)self explanitory, dont want to miss an opportunity for family fun.
so, yes, I ashamedly admit that I'm happy John went to work today. But, now that the house is clean, he can stay home tomorrow.

Oh my gosh I completely agree. Plus, with that extra person around, they make more messes (that they do not clean up). You read my mind, I was really just thinking about this 5 minutes ago! I like Jody home, but sometimes, I am thinking in my head-- PLEASE go to work!!!
