The Dawn of a new day

For the last 15 years of my life I have been the boss. My house usually runs according to the way I want it to, but it doesnt come without grief. I constantly have to fight with my husband about cleaning up. At first it was a no win argument because I didnt work and he did so even though I would spend my time cleaning up if he came in a messed up I would end up cleaning it up. Well for the last couple of months I have been working and unless my bestfriend or the kids cleaned up it would not get cleaned up. Eventually everyone stopped cleaning and it looked like a pigsty, and I would bitch and it would get cleaned. Well today was the last straw, I have spent all weekend trying to get him to clean up to no avail. We got into an argument about it, but instead of having an attitude I took a long look at what the problem was. Me. See I always coordinate stuff and get stuff together and make things in the house run smoothly. I usually give myself a headache doing this so now its time for me to stop. I am on strike!!! These people do not appreciate me and I'm tired of it. I get tired of always having to be the grown up so I'm not going to do it anymore. Let them worry about what's for dinner?, the house being clean or clean clothes, me I'm going to be carefree for once in my life. Maybe they can handle it maybe they can't we'll see what happens.
