My mother told me that it was a woman's curse


My mother told me that it was a woman's curse..and she wasn't freakin' talking about my period.  Her explanation of the curse was this:  No matter where I am, as a mother or wife, and regardless of what I am doing, I will be involved, even if I don't have a scrid of control.  (You know that crap marketing team for Hallmark?  I believe they came up about this phrase:  Behind any successful man or child there is some sort of tired woman/mother. The person that glorified this?  I want to punch them in the freakin' throat. )  A couple of examples of how I am always involved even though, I don't want to be:

The new Wang family stove (for which in 3 days I have cooked nuggets, Pepperidge Farm Garlic Bread and shrinky dinks):  On Thursday, the stove was supposed to be delivered during a window of 7:30 to 9:30.  I coordinated the plumber to be there no later than 7:45 to unhook the gas and to re-hook (or whatever that is called.)  I was told that we were second on the list for the delivery.  Ching was "working from home" and I told him that I didn't think the delivery would be later than 8:00.  At 8:45, at work, I get a call from Ching that the delivery hasn't  happened yet.  What, in God's name, am I supposed to do?  I am at work and Ching.."working from home?"  Freakin' deal with it..

On a separate occasion, I like the text that says that there are not diapers or wipes in the diaper bag.  Sucks for you Ching Wang.  I would checked prior to your outing.  While you may think it involves me..it doesn't..

And dinner..I make it every night for the girls.  Have you ever noticed what I put on those cheap plastic plates?  Maybe not, because while I am away at dinner..the text of what should I do for dinner?  Really?

For the love of God..I don't think I could run away even if I tried..
