The fun one

There's a reason Justin does all the vacuuming around here. Until now, that reason has been that our vacuum is just too stinkin' heavy for me to lug around the house. But from here on out, I'll remind him that his Super Dad skills (the ones that allow him to leap tall Mega Block towers in a single bound) empower him to simultaneously clean the house and keep the kids entertained. You just can't let skills that that go to waste.

Before we had kids, I insisted I'd be the fun parent. Justin could handle the hard discipline issues, I thought. (Apparently in my naivety I also thought that discipline would only occur on weekends and evenings when he was off work.) I'd be the cool, fun mom that did crazy stuff like take the kids on speedy vacuum rides around the house.

I think I actually enjoy being wrong about this.
