must be nice

my husband is in colorado
and will be for 5
yes, F I V E, days
snowboarding.

and believe you me
i’m going to get all the mileage out of this that i can.

yes, i’m jealous.
i’d love to be snowboarding.
i’d love to have the ability/mobility
to just take of work and go
for F I V E days.

honey, you’ll be alright with the kids?
oh! i’ll be gone for 5 days?!?
i didn’t realize it.
ok, bye.

he was so preoccupied
recovering from some type of bug
– so that he wouldn’t miss his trip –
that had him hacking into a
empty vitamin water bottle when he had to be mobile
and a tissue filled trash can when he was immobile
that he forgot to stash the fridge
and fill the gas tank before he left
– i’m exaggerating a bit, but i want 2 pairs of shoes.

even if i did go somewhere
anywhere
for F I V E days
we’d — read “me” — have to make extensive arrangements for someone to care for the girls.
HE ain’t gonna take them for F I V E days.
one: he can’t afford to take of work to provide child care,
two: he couldn’t handle it, and
three: the girls couldn’t handle it.

that’s why mother’s day is more celebrated.
cause a mother’s job is crucial.
