Survival Guide to Finals Week...(The Wife's Version)



This week the Pace's have entered the first semester of law school finals week.  I say we, us, Pace's because even though William is the one studying and taking the actual final, the 3 weeks of finals have also put me into survival wife mode.  Here are a few tips that will help a wife get through the rough 3 weeks...

1)  Anything he says or does goes!  Don't fight it's not worth it!  He will turn lawyer on you and argue his case to the max, therefore, don't waste the time.

2) Don't let your OCD for being a neat freak barge into his messiness.  In other words, let him do what he wants and don't bug him about the little things that make you flip!  For once, let his clothes lay on the floor how he pleases, the kitchen left with crumbs from sandwiches, and coffee stains on the counters.  Let the living room become a law library and a study hall. 

***Don't worry when I come home from work, I am a cleaning tasmanian devil.  I throughly enjoy the clean living room, kitchen, bedroom for a few glorious hours until he comes home from the library.

3)  Third and most important, the TV is off limits for YOU when he is around.  You will hear the excuse "but I haven't watched TV in sooooo long, and I won't get to".  So ladies record your Real Housewives of the OC, The Kardashians, or any other trashy TV show ( that I just admitted to watching) on DVR, and bite your lip when he watches football.

Just remember it's only a matter of time that finals will be over and you will be enjoying Christmas break together :)

883 days until William graduates....
