Holy crapola, you are clearly a super hero whose powers are exercised in an extremely localized and focused fashion. I'm betting your cape is still caught up in some hideous super hero bureaucratic loop. Probably you should interpret this as a sign to go out and buy some sweet looking boots, though. That way you'll be ready when the cape finally arrives.
Oh, Jesus Christ. I'd love to see what your life would look like if he DID have to do everything around there. :P You are amazing, underappreciated, and work way more than one full-time job.
Check. Check. Check. Yeah, I don't manage the bank accounts or the ducklings, but other than that...
know where every item in the house is at any time because no one else knows how to find things, apparently
OMG this. And do you also get the thing where you tell them where said item is and you get "it's not there!" and then you have to go look and you move one tiny thing out of the way and it's right where you said it was? Because if it's not right in front of their face they can't find it.

OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD. HUGE pet peeve, right there. It makes me CRAZY. And the constant interruptions, because whatever I'm doing isn't as important as their need.
Oh, and because I know you'd understand, I have to share this - my husband, who is currently out of work, just came in the room specifically to tell me that he had cleaned up the kitchen, expecting thanks and praise, no doubt. Um...okay? I do that three times a day an no one thanks me. Clean a bathroom and then I'll be impressed. ;-)
I guess my husband still hasn't learned that the sarcasm is dialed up to 11 when I'm required to praise him like a puppy after a potty training success: Awww, you did the dishes? What a good boy!
- go behind children and redo their chores because nothing else is working and I just want things DONE omg
- know where every item in the house is at any time because no one else knows how to find things, apparently
- bolster husband's spirits because men apparently are WAY more delicate than I was led to believe, I'm looking at you John McClane
I can't even.
Mind you, my list is shorter because I now work fulltime, and have - by necessity - shoved stuff onto my husband (who is a sort of free-lance film maker I suppose). Mostly though that means that I ignore stuff throughout the week, and then do a big catch-up over the weekend. Not that he isn't helpful, he just doesn't understand that 'him getting to it eventually' really doesn't work for me.
(Sorry. I didn't mean to rant. Hope you get a NICE glass of wine and some time all to yourself!)

This is why God made wine.
