Default Nugget Takes Over The House Hold

Nugget takes over the house hold and straps on the apron, with teatowel in one hand kindy timetable in the other im ready.

Monday morning 5am start wifes up to start her training for her new job, i get up to have coffee with her and show support and to get a jump start on my new job. 630am wifes off to catch her buses & train ( shit she left me the car ) MMM, will she start posting her own Jod`s V the trains storys now.
What to do ive got all morning to do a few chores before Nugget jr (Booga) is off to kindy, dont want to burn myself out on the first day so its a slow start. Do the morning dishes have a coffee and a smoke, talk to the dog, shit im cruzing, walk around the house looking for clothes to wash , tidy up the boys room, clean up all the new experiments he has going on in there for finding the cure of herpes.
Time to get ready for kindy, pack his bag put the boy in the car have a wee panic attack, Shit its up to me now, calm down its only a f---en car well we made it there, using a lot of back streets.

With 3 hours to myself its off to the shops i go, Christ my next fear, people,crowds, all in the same place i need to be. Why is it the one thing i need is in the isle where some twit has decided to stop and have a chat with the lady with the kid that is cracking the biggest tantrum since little Jenny got a bag of horse Shit for Christmas instead of a PONY.

To any body else they might have just walked on bye, but i wanted my pancake mix, i had my trolley, my list, my goals set for the day this little snotty nosed kid was not going to upset my day. Her mother had turned off and was busy chatting so Nugget moved in for his pancake mix. A slight bang as the trolleys collided together, MMM she didnt even turn a eye so i gave the
girl the old EVIL EYE and lent over her trolly grab my mix and left the scene as i left them standing in the stench of one of Nuggets finest Kentucky Fried Chicken Farts. I moved so quick im sure they thought it was the girl packing cans just behind them.
A quick time check i have a hour to go before Booga needs to be picked up, so what does a house husband do with a hour up is sleve. The mind ponders to much if i wasnt Nugget i might be all right but a hour Shit i could get into a whole lot of trouble so i decide to go home and wait till Booga is ready.

That wrapped up day one of my new job, i think i handled it rather well we all made it home safe, we all got feed that night, and best of all the old PTSD only had time to bother me two or three times that day, but by Christ i was knackered that night, the pays pretty crap but the benefits are great, im not to sure on the nude dish washing Jods wants me to do, i just feel so dirty when she sits there drinking a beer and every now and then she flicks me with the tea towel and just smiles at me.

Wonderful Rob, I am delighted for you and Jodee. Please keep that grand sense of humour in your new job as "house husband". Jim could learn a thing or two from you regarding domestic duties.

As long as she doesn't try to tell you bacon is normally cooked in the nude you will be OK LOL.

Loved hearing your adventure out and about, such a great job and more than I can do. You must (or should) be so proud of yourself. Great job and keep up the great work.

And congrats jods on the new job. Easy on the towel snapping ;)

Oh Rob...I think your first day as Mr. Mom went great. And the KFC farts? OMG, you must communicate with my hubby's uncle. He does the same thing in the store ailses!

Congrats to Jods on the new job and Rob on his new exhaulted position. Now I'll never picture you without your apron on. Oh and if Jodee insists on nude bacon cooking, make sure to use the back burners. Much less spatters that way...at least that's what I've heard. *grin*

I had stitches of laughter reading about your first day on the job Rob.

Based on the farts Anthony subjects me to, there is no way I will permit you or him near a KFC when we come over and visit.

Picturing Jodee on the couch with her beer is quite the role reversal - I do hope she had the remote control in hand at the same time.

Congratulations to both you and Jodee for your new jobs and may you continue to enjoy them as much as you do now.

Thanks for the well wishes about our new household arrangement!

Just so you know, nugget will be safe in regards to cooking bacon as we have a george foreman grill for that!

I would like to thank my amazing hubby for taking on his new role & doing a great job.

Now if he could just make my coffees & chai lattes like the guy at the cafe near my job training I would have the perfect husband!

Oh I can't touch the remote as nugget jr aka booga wont let me near it.

Jodee, maybe you need to buy him an Expresso Machine to go with the George Foreman Grill so he can have a latte waiting for you (with your cooked dinner) when you get home from work?
