"Unka Seesee" by Z |
He could always be counted on to hoover down any leftovers (I'm not a leftovers fan. Pretty much once it hits the fridge, I'm done with it. Except for PF Chang's Mongolian Beef. Or unless it has frosting.) Got five open bags of chips from a party that will go stale? No problemo. Unka Seesee is on the case! Trying out a new brand of cookie and not loving it? Leave it surreptitiously near his recliner in the TV room, and soon all you have are crumbs and a wrapper!
Up until recently when he got his awesome new job, he also did all of our dinner cooking. Lately he's only back from work in time for my 2nd dinner (aka: Midnight Feast.) So now someone else is going to have to feed a family of soon-to-be 4! Before he moved in, I could (and did!) get away with frozen pizzas, canned soups, and other frozen entrees. But now my child is actually eating food, and needs a healthier variety. Plus she hates soup.
And did I mention he did the bulk of the grocery shopping? While this meant that if I answered honestly, I no longer qualified for most paid consumer research studies, since they wanted the primary grocery shopper. But it was WORTH IT to not have to drag a recalcitrant child through a shopping trip!
I must admit, it's been nice to let her wander off to
We just found a home for the store cat that Seesee and I had at our game store a zillion years ago, who has been absolutely miserable the 3 years she's been
I'm hungry... I mean, we miss you Seesee!
Aw, poor little Z! And you too :)
ReplyDeleteSurprisingly, so far she hasn't really noticed. i guess it helps that he's been working 4 10-hour shifts, so he's been gone most days. She might see him briefly in the mornings, but we'd often be out the door before he was up (he worked 11-9 or 12-10 usually.)
ReplyDeleteBut she still sets things aside for him (like half-chewed cookies) or draws pictures she wants him to see. I'm gonna have to teach her how to Skype...
