  I hate that the only time that MH's aunt ever calls us is when she needs something!

  This time she needs us to house her bratty teenagers for 2 weeks while she 'plays house' with her EX-husband (the kids father) when he's visiting the US.  The kids don't want to see their dad (they despise their dad since he was the one that broke the marriage up).

  OH and while they stay with us, I have to take them to school & MH will have to pick them up. 

  Seriously? she expects us to take care of them while the ex is staying with her? 

  That's just horrible.

  Ok, here is my little disclaimer before I go on with today's whine: I have the greatest husband in the world and he is a wonderful guy who loves to make me happy.  With that said, in spite of all those great things about him, sometimes I feel that he just doesn't understand what I am going through.  When I say I am in pain, that is exactly what I mean: I am in a lot of pain, and no, I don't want to go walking at the beach, b/c I could barely walk to the bathroom.  When I say I am tired, it means I am very tired, and I just want to stay home and rest, and not go to Costco to shop.  I feel really bad, b/c it feels like he thinks I am just being lazy.  He does a lot at home, and I am trying my best to do my part, but I don't think he even sees it or appreciate it.  I always say thank you to him when he does something nice, but I never get the same thanks or appreciation. It would be nice if once in a while he comes up to me and say, "I know you are tired/ in lots of pain, but I appreciate you washing all the clothes, etc" I guess that's too much to ask.

  That does suck Sometimes they just don't get it... pain is so hard to describe to someone- and for women, you have to be in a lot of pain to even mention it.  As opposed to men who could have a hangnail and they are completely disabled.  One time my H threw out his back and was whining and laying in bed---- I told him that is how I feel EVERY day--- he seemed to get a little bit of understanding of what I'm dealing with as a chronic pain sufferer- and when he tends to forget- I promptly remind him of that day his back was out.

  You deserve to be pampered- I'm sorry your H doesn't understand

  Don't worry about tomorrow. After all, today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday. Take each day as it comes...one at a time. Midnight Baking Adventures Blog
