We now have less than 24hrs before Brandi gets home. Thank. You. God.
Not only do we miss her but we’re down to just one frozen pizza, we’re out of cereal, and we’re low on chocolate milk. I’m about to declare a state of emergency here. 
I’m getting ready to do laundry so I could really use your prayers. Especially after my dishwasher fiasco yesterday. No worries though…we now have the cleanest kitchen floor in the entire state of Tennessee.
Awww Pete!
No worries, if it makes you feel any better, I would totally stink at being a stay at home Mum. I actually got banned from kitchens by our university Christian Union after I flooded a church kitchen while filling up an urn with water….

That’s hysterical. She’ll appreciate the clean kitchen floor.

@Jessica, it’s the least I could do.
Dear Pete…
Many men have used similar methods to ensure their wives will never leave the nest again, leaving the men in charge in their absence.
I’m not saying this is what you’re attempting to do, but I just wanted to warn you… when my husband tried this method, it seriously backfired. I ended up going away more often so he could “practice more”, since he obviously needed the practice… ahem.
Be careful…. mwwaaahahahaha!
Seriously though, Pete, you’re hilarious.

@JD, that would be bad. Very bad.
I dont know how so many crazy things could happen to you in 4 days but next time Brandi wants to go out of town I will watch the boys for you. Maybe then it will be a much less stressful vacation for both of you

I hate to be mean, but I thought guys that did stuff like that were just a joke, like made up. Seriously?
@Holly, believe it or not this wasn’t my first time to run the dishwasher. However this was the first time I had mistaken the dishwashing liqid and the dishwasher liqid. Oops.
Well let’s just hope that Brandi doesn’t mistake swapping out your hair gel with Nair hair remover…..or your toothpaste with diaper rash cream.
…..just sayin’

Too funny. I still remember one time when my mom went out of town (I was probably 8). My dad was clueless. We were down to little food, too, so he created “Whip Dogs.” Cold hot dogs served with whip cream. Even at our young ages, we knew that it was not as great as dad was pretending it was!!! We still tease my dad about Whip Dogs. So just know that one day, your boys will be grown and married, and they will still be saying, “remember that time that mom went out of town and….”
I believe you made the common mistake of using dishwashing liquid instead of dishwasher powder/gel. There is a difference! Too funny that you would make a video of it and “man up” to the mistake. Kudos for toughing it out without the wife – she’s a lucky gal.
that’s why you can just wash the dishes by hand. old-school, i know, but it works. =]

Oh my goodness. I didn’t think you were going to top the pizza. They were both laugh out loud funny, believe me, I laughed!

Pete, even the little kid in “Home Alone” went to the grocery when he ran out of the essentials, and he was able to do laundry on his own. Wasn’t he about 8? Come on, man!

@Melody, “Whip dogs”….I love it!

Well the good part is that She will find out that (at least) you tried…
PS: Are you serious? LOL

Ah, yes, the amazing thing that happens when you use the wrong kind of soap. It is so much fun to eventually clean it all out of the system.

My first thought when I saw this was that you used dish soap instead of diswashing detergent…then I saw your comment. Too funny! I’m sure Brandi will appreciate the clean floor though!
