It is 4:15 pm. DDM looks up at the clock. Crap. She has been so immersed in cleaning out the toy cupboard squalor that she has not even thought about feeding her family dinner.

She dials Hubby's work number and bothers him for the 4th time that day.

Hubby: Dominion Securities.

DDM: Hey.

Hubby: It's you. Again. (Pause)

DDM: Are you there?

Hubby: Ya. I'm just leaning over to my Mom's Phone Calls Tally Sheet to mark down another phone call from you. This is 4 today and...just a second.....11 so far this week. And the day is not over yet.

DDM: You are funny. I am crying I am laughing so hard.

Hubby: What do you want now?

DDM: I love you....

Hubby: Which means you want something.

DDM: No it doesn't! Just the occasional time when I find myself in a bind. I just realized that it's quarter after 4 and I have nothing for dinner.

Hubby: Again?

DDM: Yep. I guess another day just got away from me. I forgot to take the meat out of the freezer. And when I forget to take the meat out of the freezer, the rest of dinner just doesn't come together. It requires a little more thinking and planning. I can't pull it all together at the last minute like this.

Hubby: So I am cooking again today? That's ok (sigh). I will just do everything. Don't worry.

DDM: Could you pick up....

Hubby: (jokingly) I would be dialing for pizza right now, but you are still on the line. Bye!

DDM: Bye.

Click.

All's I'm sayin's all.

PS It is Friday! I will be back on Monday! I am in Toronto this weekend to meet new babies! Yay! And getting in some solid girl time.
