My poor husband has been working almost continuously since Sunday on a big issue at his job. Luckily he can do this work from home, but he is running on fumes right now. I had a pretty busy/stressy day at work myself, but how rude is it to complain about a busy day to someone who's racked up 40 straight hours of work?! [I have a huge 2-day committee meeting at work starting tomorrow, two presentations to prepare and give (no pressure), materials for another huge event to prepare, and the grant I'm running is really ramping up - we have a deadline on July 1. I can't wait for this week to be over!]
So I'm doing everything around the house, like a boss, and it's making me realize how prima-donna-y I can be. He definitely does a lot around here - today I'm cleaning, taking care of all of the cats (food, ice water, litter), watering plants, fixing dinner, laundry, cat hair removal, various cooling techniques, trash and recycling, etc. Whew! Perspective and gratitude are pretty humbling things.
