fuming currently - why do DHs (or maybe just mine) have no trouble inviting people over for dinner the night before you're due to fly out for the weekend with other guests arriving on the day you get back (so would like to be ready before you go away) and then ask you to pick one of them up at the airport and do the shopping for the dinner stuff all while knowing that you will be doing the packing for the family trip away, tiding the house for the guests and the prior to leaving cleanup (which he never believes in anyway), waiting round for the phone man to come to fix the phone and looking after a 3mth old who I've been saying for the last week has lost his belief in any significant daytime sleep and I've been frequently suffering terribly from headaches again (of which I have one today) - and when you ask DH whether he thinks this manageable and maybe its not such a great idea to have dinner or maybe someone else can do the airport run his response is oh don't worry DS#1 is at daycare that day and I"ll pick him up on the way home so that will make it easy for you - aghhhh!!!! I sometimes wonder how he thinks some things around the house get done - it must be the magic fairy that visits unbeknownst to me!!!LOL (not realy laughing and probably don't have time to be sitting here but had to vent.

ETA - Karen - neither could I but I certainly won't be expecting a repeat performance in the near future (I can dream though LOL)
