Dear Spouse:
If you know that you've planned a family outing, and you know that you neglected to tell your wife about the weekend guest you invited until last night, and you know that your wife now needs to do a whole lot more grocery shopping and cooking, not to mention cleaning, and you know that you're going to insist on starting Shabbat early, PLEASE don't decide to nap the entire morning because you're so exhausted from staying up all last night to watch the Celtics game.
Don't want to shop with both kids, (one in stroller, one in wrap, no car) can't do laundry with both kids awake, can't start cooking because "I'll get up at 9:15!", can't clean because the baby thinks of the broom as the miraculous snack gatherer...
GAH.
Aside from that, life's good. I start full-time work in July, just enjoying a last few days with my children and trying to get some writing done. Malden's a nice place to live. Come visit. But tell me earlier than the day before.
