Vent/Spaz/Relieving Stress?
Are you a spaz?
DH tells me all the time that I get too worked up about things. Like night I came home after deciding not to go to the gym (big mistake!) and was frustrated to find 2 empty boxes, OJ container and milk container in our pantry where the trash is. (Ideally whoever finishes the box/container takes the item out to recycle immediately).
Fine, whatever, I decided I'd take it all out after dinner. Then I started making my cookie dough only to realize that DH used the rest of the baking soda in the sink disposal, put back the empty box and didn't write on the grocery list that we needed a new one. I made do. Then DH comes home and I'm making dinner. I say how much recycling we have to go out and he said "yea I know" then proceeds to put a new box in the pantry (with everything else) but on top of the trash can. It's a step can so when I go to put trash in there, I can't. I freaked out on him.
So, do you have freak outs too? My major stress reliver is the gym...what other methods do you use?
Re: Vent/Spaz/Relieving Stress?
I really don't have many freak outs but I am also the kind of person to let everything build up inside and then randomly burst into tears every few months because I can't handle it anymore. I need to work on that lol.
I would be annoyed if I were in your situation though. Jason sometimes puts all the dishes away except a few things and he leaves those things on the counter. I tend to 'b*tch' about that just because I don't understand why he leaves a few items out each time. I hate clutter so any time he lets things get cluttered, it annoys me. But like I said above, it takes a lot of things for me to actually freak out; typically I just mumble things to myself and move on.

I don't tend to freak out at Nick, but he does think I let my friend's drama suck me in too much. The only "freak out" I had with him recently was last night we were going to see a movie we have been trying to see for weeks. We got to the theatre and they had hiked the prices because it was a holiday, so we headed back home. We couldn't find anything we both wanted to watch so he ended up watching some Korean war documentary. I was nesting and after an hour of him watching this boring thing I started getting a bit pissed that this was how our "date" night was turning out. I was a bit hormonal I think. I didn't freak out per say but I did tell him how I was feeling and i think he thought I was more pissed than I was.
A related story, I made the mistake of going to Wal-mart with him on NYE to get something for my sister and the parking lot was a nightmare (not so much crowded as full of people who don't know how to drive). We were trying to leave and about 5 cars (I'm not exaggerating here) tried to hit me. I am venting about the other drivers and he keeps telling me "calm down, calm down" and I start getting a bit peeved at him. I wasn't going to do anything stupid, I just needed to vent about the idiots on the road and it was not helping to have some one telling me that I should just let it go. I felt like "I'll let it go once you let me gripe about him a few times"
Sometimes, husbands don't understand our coping mechanisms I think...
I may refill the ice cube trays once a month, even though I use TONS of ice. I tell Jason it's a husband job and believe it or not, he just says ok and now always does it lol.
I tend to do this. Lots of little things bug me, but its almost not worth saying anything. Then something happens that is worth saving something and I get more pissed than I should and everything comes out. He is of the attitude that this little stuff doesn't really matter and I am a bit of a perfectionist.
Stupid things Ken does that drive me crazy we call my "Oh Ken..." moments. If I have one while he is at work I just send him a text that says "Oh Ken" and he responds back with, "What did I do?"
Right after I am done cleaning he comes home
*sheds all his clothes to change and leaves them in multiple piles around the house
*gets a soda & s snack and leaves the dishes on the coffee table
*decided half an hour later and goes to the kitchen for another drink and sets it next the pile of stuff he was too lazy to take to the kitchen
UGH!!!!
