Follow Friday (4)

Q. What do I do when I are not reading?

 

A. Well, this is definitely a hard one.  I work fulltime, commute 1.5 hours per day, am a husband and father.  There’s always, ALWAYS a load of laundry that needs to be washed, dried, and folded, a kid that needs to be comforted or held…So, what do I do when I’m not reading…A LOT!!! :)

 

What do you do?

 

Many Adventures,

Richard

    New follower here. I used to have that kind of commute. In many ways, I miss the job, but then I remember the work place politics and I feel better. Happy hopping!

    Hi!
    Just hopping by and following through.
    My husband does the laundry (mainly) in my house as well - with the six of us we do about 7 loads every weekend

    I know what you mean. Working full-time and a parent too. Don't you just wish there were 8 days in a week?

    I wish I could find a job! But since I'm still tipping the scale to "young teenager," I really don't think that it's going to happen anytime soon! x)

    I actually love doing the laundry, though! Out of all the chores I have to do, that one is my favourite (my least being doing the dishes).

    Reading is the coolest thing ever ;)

    Hope you have an awesome weekend!

    I am about to start a job with a longer commute. I am hoping that I can figure out a way to take public transportation which could give me more time to read (which seems so much better than driving I think). :)

    thanks for all the comments!

    @bookdout: i try to do 1 load a day, wash and dry.

    @lina: i don't wish for 8 days/week! that would just be one more day i'd have to work! lol...unless it was a mandatory vacation day!

    @nikki & @shanan: audiobooks rule the commute!

    @liza: i know how you feel...fitting in reading is a must! usually after everything else is done and the kids are in bed!

    @mimi: i hate doing dishes! even after we got a dishwasher i still hate it!

    @shana: nice to meet you, too!
