DH took Friday off, so with the long weekend he's home 4 days in a row.

I thought it was just me who wasn't happy when the husband was home too often... but it turns out my neighbour friend and ex-library employee also have the same complaint. Having him home just upsets your normal routine, and he gets in the way! (sorry guys).

DH drives me crazy on days he is home, camping out in the kitchen. He will wash dishes 3 times in a day?!

So I took my kitchen back.

#1: I made supper on Friday and washed dishes.

#2: I spent all afternoon in the kitchen on Saturday. I thawed, drained, strained, cooked and canned the 5.5 gallons of my home grown tomatoes. It took me from 1pm to 7pm, including making supper and all clean up. I made sure I banged around dishes so he couldn't escape the noise, just like he does for me.

#3: This morning, I canned the tomato juice, and made lunch for everyone and washed the dishes. Then we went snowshoeing/walking/sledding in a park then out for dinner at Swiss Chalet. Kept him out of the kitchen again. :) Side note: the chicken sandwich with gravy was kind of gross. Don't get it.

#4: Tomorrow morning I'm going grocery shopping. In the afternoon is a community ice skating party, outside on a pond/slough beside the rail tracks, with a bonfire, hay rides, hot dogs & hot chocolate. That takes care of lunch. Now I just have to come up with a supper for that night, and the kitchen will have been mind ALL 4 days of the weekend! HAHAHAHA! I bet he will do something in the kitchen while I'm grocery shopping, but at least I won't be there. ;)

Yup, I'm weird.
