The real world sucks

Yep it sure does, today I ventured back to work, thats me only just going back after my bout with the viral infection.

Now don't get me wrong, my job is actually ok, but today, blahhhhhhhhhh, I could have done with the time in bed. I went to bed far to late last night, and what a shock to my system it was getting up early this morning and having to actually leave the house.

Do you know how many times I've left my house over the course of the last month, let me tell you, its less than a handful, yep honestly. We locked ourselves in over Christmas and that has pretty much been me till today.

I am so tired now, I could quite gladly fall asleep on this keyboard. The thought of waking up with an imprint of the alphabet on my face is the only thing stopping me.

Other than my work, I've no other news to report, so will leave you with Joke of the Day, its quite a long one, but well worth the read, enjoy, take care of yourselves and kissy wissy's to you all. xxx

Joke of the Day:
A man was sick and tired of going to work every daywhile his wife stayed at home. He wanted her to seewhat he went through each day, so he prayed :-"Dear Lord, I go to work every day and put in 8 hoursof hard work, while my wife merely stays at home. Iwant her to know what I go through, so please create atrade in our bodies".

God, in His infinite wisdom,granted the man's wish.

The next morning, sure enough, the man awoke as awoman. He arose, cooked breakfast for his mate, awakened the kids, set out their school clothes, fed them breakfast, packed their lunches, drove them toschool, came home ..... picked up the dry cleaning,took it to the cleaners and stopped at the bank to draw money to pay the electricity and telephone bills. He drove to the electricity company and the phone company and paid the bills, went grocery shopping, came home and put away the groceries.

He cleaned the cat's litter box and bathed the dog. By then it was already 1:00 pm, so he hurried to make the beds, do the laundry, vacuum, dust, and sweep and mop the kitchen floor. He rushed to the school to pick up the kids and got into an argument with them on the way home which he had to sort out in a gentle 'motherly' fashion. He set out cookies and milk and got the kids organised to do their homework, then set up the ironing board and was able to watch a bit of TV while he did the ironing.

By then it was 4:30 pm, so he began peeling potatoes and washed greens for salads. He prepared the chops and fresh vegetables and got everything ready in time for an early dinner. After supper, he cleaned the kitchen, ran the dishwasher, folded laundry, bathed the kids, and put them to bed. At 9:00 pm he was exhausted and although his chores weren't finished for the day, he went to bed where he was expected to make love, which he managed to get through without complaining.

The next morning he awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and said :-"Lord, I don't know what I was thinking. I was so wrong to envy my wife's being able to stay home all day. Please, O please, let us trade back!"

The Lord, in his infinite wisdom, replied, "My son, I feel you have learned your lesson and I will be happy to change things back to the way they were.

You'll just have to wait 9 months though, because you got pregnant last night!!!"

Ha ha, if only, told you it was worth reading to the end.
