Will he ever understand me?
Did you ever have a day (or days) when enough is enough? Of course you have, we all have. But it is even worse when your better (or worse) other half is just aggravating everything. I don’t want to start a men bashing or anything but they are so totally wired wrong (ok differently). Things just roll off of them. Like nothing. My Dear Hubby was home for the weekend, he is a laborer and the summers are all work and no play, basically. I know he works 50-60 hour weeks and I am totally sympathetic, somewhat. I am a stay at home mom, which to HIM means I sit around and eat bon bons all day. Not that I have a 2 1/2 year old and babysit a 4 year old. But it’s all fun and games. I have never ever worked harder in my flippin life. Even when I was working 50-60 hour weeks. Now I am on call 24/7. I do not get breaks or a lunch break. I cannot even go to the bathroom without somebody knocking at the door. Now don’t get me wrong, I love being home with my girl. And I am totally blessed to be able to do so. When my 20 year old was little I did not have a choice I had to work. And yes it was hard. But sheesh. Maybe I was younger then. (alot younger then). I try very hard to make my dear hubby’s life easier because, yes, he is working a very hard job in the grueling heat. I make him fresh juices, good meals and a clean house and a wonderful child. So here it is. How about a day for me? My sis will just tell her husband, here’s the kids, bye. I have never been like that and I do wish I could. Saturday I got annoyed and went for a walk, by myself, which I never do, by the time I came back in the door the house was chaos. and it was only the two of them. I was gone for maybe 45 minutes. By the time I got back here my good vibes I had going were gone. I know all this whining and for what? Do I want to return to work so I can have 2 15 minute breaks and a lunch hour? No. I don’t. Just appreciate me. That’s all.
