Family Time

I don't know about most NORMAL families, but when we were growing up and we had Family Time. That meant we were either washing one of the cars, yard work, or when I was really young and on the farm in Kansas we went to check the cattle!! I swore when I got older and had a family of my own I would not do that to them, I would make Family Time about the family, something fun we could all do together!! Well I lied to myself, because around here Sunday is Family Time! Now, some Sunday's we go here or there, take the kids places, and just hang out......but there are those certain Sunday's where cleaning and doing yard work is considered Family Time. Fortunately for me, Austin is still too little to understand the trickery behind those words, but Bryan on the other hand knows and hates it!! I know as a stay-at-home mom, I should do all the household chores so my poor husband that works hard doesn't have to do anything on his days off but lay around and be lazy, and in the neighborhood of make believe that might take place......but here in the real world I am boss and what I say goes!!:)(or so I like to think).
So if you ever call up the Myers residence on a Sunday and someone here tells you were spending time as a family, now you might think twice....you'll wonder if we're playing and loving our children, or taking advantage of the free labor!!
