FTS
The worlds sucks, agree?

Re: FTS
I got called back into work last night...as I was leaving I realized my front passenger tire was completely flat. I had to call DH to change it because I never got the "how to change a tire" lesson growing up. In about 20 minutes I am going to head to the tire place to get a new one...and probably a new 4 the way the tread looks on the others.
Oh, did I mention DH's car had to have $600 worth of repairs last week?? Yeah. FTS.
Argh. Effin cars.
The ILs. Enough said? LOL
MIL is wanting to spend a ton of time with DH and Taryn--like any minute we have available, and have DH help with MORE stuff around her apartment. She doesn't seem to get that we have a list a mile long of things we need to get done before Tessa is born, and that DH works 50+ hours a week. She complains to FIL, who in turn calls DH and tries to guilt trip him, while at the same time telling DH he needs to help me around the house...
We only have, at most, 2.5 weeks, left of Taryn being an only child and I want to spoil her with time where DH and I can focus all our attention on her and MIL is going to throw a fit over it.
It's going to be a long battle with MIL with H's leaving.
Two days after H told his mother about the deployment she tells me how she talked it over with her husband and she will spend at least one night a week at our house, maybe more. Um... nope. I'm not making those plans until at least after the baby is born, preferably not until it's much closer to the time H actually leaves, and only if this baby hates sleep as much as Alex.
She then tells us the list she made of all the repairs that need to be done to our house before H leaves. It's our house, we're aware of all the repairs that it needs, and which ones NEED to be done versus which ones we would LIKE to get done.
We've only had this info for a week and I've already had to stop many of the "great ideas" she's had so far.
Mine is a pre-emptive FTS. I took my GD test yesterday and I'm worried that I failed and then I won't be able to eat french fries or M&Ms for the rest of the pregnancy.
I suppose I just need to wait for the results before getting all worked up.
Someone who asked to present at the meeting I run every Friday, and is the bulk of the content for today, just isn't at work. He's at a training which he clearly knew he had. No one on his team can do it for him. So......I guess I just get to look like an a$$hole going all "Bueller....Bueller......" when we get to him on the agenda.
So rude, I freaking hate people sometimes.
Today I decided to take my first PE practice exam. I wanted to do it in a "real exam" environment. No phone. No computer. Just a timer, the test, me and my books.
I told DH this last night and explained to him that I was turning off my phone and not turning on my computer. So while I am sitting at my desk at work (taking vacation, mind you) - I won't answer the phone or the door or any messages. AT ALL. When I'm done - we can talk.
What's he do? He freaking calls me 2 hours into the 4 hour test. I didn't answer - on purpose.
When I called him after I was done with the test, I asked him what he needed. Here's how the convo went down:
Him: "Well, it doesn't matter now. I'm home."
Me: "Oh okay. I was just wondering what you needed."
Him: "I was calling to see if you wanted me to pick up a pumpkin pie from Costco."
Me: "Uh, what? I told you I wasn't answering the phone during the practice test..."
Him: "Well, it was only going to a take second. And it was time sensitive... so but it doesn't matter now."
I mean, really? He thought "She won't mind if I just give her a ring and ask her if she wants some pie in the middle of her exam.
And he wonders why I don't study at home.........
Men!
You should have said "PIE is not 'time sensitive', the TEST is time sensitive"
I know, right?! And I think he still doesn't get that it's no big deal. Last night for example, I came home, figured out dinner, and sat down to study. (He was playing PS3). When he was ready for dinner, he turned off his console, went into the kitchen to fix some food and proceeded to talk AT me while he did so... I never responded. He finally says "Want to watch some DVR?"
WTF, guy. I don't get it. And I don't know how to make him get it. I'm so glad this test is in 3 weeks so I can go back to not having commitments so we can be at his whim I guess.
I remember DH being this way when I was studying for the bar. Dude, QUIT CALLING ME! Not sure why he didn't get it, he just didn't. Le sigh.
