Don't get too used to it....

The husband comes home yesterday to me pulling 2 loaves of freshly baked pumpkin banana bread out of the oven & marinating pork chops. We then have these grilled marinated pork chops with parsley & butter red potatoes, cucumber & tomato salad and a glass of Jacobs Creek Cabernet Sauvignon. When we finish, I don't get just a "thank you for a lovely dinner", but I also get a "I am so rubbing this in V's face tomorrow! I came home to fresh pumpkin bread, marinating pork, & my wife dusting & vacuuming!!" V is one of his coworkers & his wife is a stay-at-home mom and apparently is also perfect, suburban little Miss Suzy Homemaker. In the oh-so-eloquent words from Pink, "That just ain't me."

I didn't realize this was a competition. Is this who has the best wife? So, my response while rolling my eyes, "Yeah, well, I wouldn't get too used to it. When I get a job again, this probably won't happen as much."

Don't get me wrong, I truly enjoy cooking & keeping the house clean since I have the time right now. Especially, since the hubby did SO MUCH during these past 2 years when I was so crazy busy with school & clinicals.....of which I will always be grateful. However, it's going to go back to sharing more of the chores & less home cooked meals when I am working 40-50 hours/week starting next February.
