Say Anything part 27

13468934

Re: Say Anything part 27

  • I feel very underappreciated and very taken advantage of. I think. I'm not really sure how to describe it. But I feel like everyone in this house just waits for me to do something, or say something, or make a call, or pick up the mess, or do the dishes or put the boy to bed, or do bathtime etc.

    I just asked DH to put G to bed. Our A/C isn't working properly and I'm dying of heat. I worked a bunch cleaning G's room, going through baby stuff and organizing, then we had to go out and run errands. I'm just hot and tired and pregnant and puffy and sore and very cranky, so for once I wanted DH to do bedtime. You'd think I asked him to saw off his right arm with a rusty butter knife and beat himself with it. 

    I'm tired of getting attitude, nobody helping, the whining, the complaining and the "just wait it out and Kimmer will do it" air that's taken over this house. I might go on strike.

    Wow.  Alex just looked up at me when I walked by and said very seriously "Mommy, if I were you I wouldn't wear that shirt again.  It really doesn't look good.  Maybe try a dress?  Dresses are nice."

     

    Meh, it was the final kicker to get me off my ass and start walking and eating better. :-)

    Kids say the darndest things!

    Like Maddie, in the hallway at school in front of the front office staff, a couple of teachers, and a few parents: "Mommy, you're belly's so big because you eat too much food!"

    So sorry.  I've been there before.  And the last few days as well.  Once, after explaining myself to DH, he said that it was because I did such a good job keeping up with everything, he just didnt think about jumping in sometimes.  Not as an excuse, and he has tried to do more, but it was a nice explanation.

    So... You are great at your job! 

    I hope things get better soon.

    How dare you ask your husband to pitch in with his child's bedtime.  That's atrocious.  You have a LOT of nerve!!  That IS totally equivalent to cutting his arm off with a rusty butter knife and beating himself with it.  Duh.

  • DH has these video games that plug into the front of the tv - they're old games like Ms Pac Man and Pong.

    We played them once last week and today Cooper has been pulling them out of the basket, dragging them to the TV and trying to figure out how to plug them in.  He got the plug close to the front and then went back to the controller, sat down and tried to play.  I couldn't stop laughing.

  • Thanks everybody. =) DH did do bedtime last night, and shockingly everyone survived.

    It's on, Darva.  It.is.on.  Stick out tongue

    Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I have to wonder if some people's mama's ever told them that if they don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all.

    My mom just texted me and asked for a:

    "vodka carmel valium mocha latte"

    And then to bring the tequila.

    My poor mom.  My grandma is making her absolutely crazy.   Sad

    You know. I just found out that there is a Patron that is coffee flavored  ;)

    People who think Patron is a "sipping tequila" have obviously never had true "sipping tequila".  Patron needs a chaser, I'm partial to pineapple juice.

  • Hugs Cindy I've been there.

    I have the space heater on.  I'm pretty sure it's almost April right?

  • I want to stab myself in the eye. 

    that's all.

    ETA - that's never all.  A nice alternative would be to drink heavily at lunch.  But then I'd get fired. sigh.

    I guess I should be thankful I'd have to make a concerted effort to actually do it, as opposed to opening the bottle and guzzling. :-)

    LOL no doubt. People are so much less judgy about drinking tequila in the morning when it's well concealed in a coffee mug Smile

    I think they mostly use it for after dinner coffee. Although, my stepmom works in a middle school with a bunch of heathens, so maybe she does spike her coffee in the morning....I know I would. =)

  • Collin has been screaming all day.  A very loud top of his lungs yelling.  I don't even think it's because he's upset - I think he just likes the sound of it.  Now my ears are ringing and a have a bad headache.  I just put him down for a nap and turned the monitor all the way down.  I'm not even sure he's ready to sleep - but I just couldn't handle it anymore.  It makes me feel like a bad Mom - but at least the yelling is muffled by the closed door. Zip it!

    I have no idea what time she gets to my house since I am not home when she comes.  He did tell me she replaced her car, so that shouldn't be the issue.
