I am a bad wife

noadvertising When I came back home from bringing daughter to work I noticed two things: two garbage bins were parked at the beginning of our street, and our bin was happily residing at its usual resting place at home- hubby had definitely forgotten to bring it out to join its brethren. It's about 200 metres I'd have to go and drag that darn thing, it was four fifteen in the morning and raining hard at three degrees- no, I thought, the bins are my husband's job, and I had reminded him thrice the day before. And since hubby always seems to awaken the moment I stick one of my toes out of the duvet I told him about the problem. And he fulfilled his duty towards the god of waste, dressed and brought the bin to the collection site. BTW: Litter service showed up at seven thirty, just when we were having breakfast. There had been no need to wake the neighbourhood by wheeling the bin to its rightful place!
In the morning hubby found a message on his mobile that number one and family were not able to come for a visit- Xaver has diarrhoea with vomiting and has to stay at home. In lieu of the family our roofer intended to show up in search of our watery problem. Due to digestion related problems I had been up since two AM, so I was not very happy when the good man came at nine in the morning to climb onto the roof. But better than not showing up at all- hubby had started to cover the wall with towels, and I definitely did not want to get called ´the wife of another idiot living the neighbourhood´. We have plenty of those running free!
The rest of the morning got spent with absolutely nothing but chatting with a friend and daughter. After cooking I was even more tired and opted for a nap, while hubby opted for a shopping tour to Salzburg- hadn´t it been I who complained about not having an Easter rabbit big enough for the big lantern? I dressed from pink and cosy to blue and too tight and forced myself to join husband mine in his strive for getting the perfect Easter decoration. We were to three shops, but at KIK we found the perfect rabbit- big enough, 24 euro (acceptable), the problem was that it was a bit dirty. We left the shop with the rabbit, but paid only half the price- second quality was the magic word! Rabbit got vacuumed then put into the lantern, its too small and crippled predecessors now sitting on a shelf in the conservatory, among plants, where all the missing ears and broken backs are no more visible! This hard piece of work totally wore me out and I had to retire to the bedroom for more resting, preferably until tomorrow, if hubby let me! I am definitly too old to do such early morning stunts twice in a row!
