I do a lot of stuff around here. I do the laundry, dishes, vacuuming, dusting, toilet scrubbing, you name it and I'm the one that does it. I am also the one that gets up early almost every morning to take care of Leilani when she gets up. Mike does it about once a week on average. So you can understand why I get frustrated and upset sometimes when I do all of this and don't get a thank you or any other acknowledgment. Or any help.
Today when I woke up to take care of Leilani like I usually do, I logged onto Facebook before going into her room. I saw that Mike was commenting back and forth with an old ex-girlfriend of his. (This isn't a big deal, I know her and there's absolutely nothing to worry about) But what did surprise me was that in their back-and-forth, he mentioned that "Lacey does 90% of the work."
The fact that he realizes that and even admitted it to someone strangely made me happy. I guess all I really needed was to know that he was aware of how much I do around here for us. Now, I don't really feel upset when he's sitting on the couch playing video games while I'm doing the laundry or when I get up to take care of Leilani and he sleeps in til 10am. I should be upset, in principle, but I'm not. I'm happy to do all this stuff as long as he recognizes that I'm doing it.
