Unexpected mini-spa day and poking my husband's eyes out....
By Bostonmama08 » Posted Feb. 23, 2014 9:21am - 435 views - 5 comments

My girlfriend texted me yesterday...."want to go get our nails done?".....it was around 4pm and I was laying on the couch, doing nothing and irritated that my husband had been sitting for almost 3 hours playing a computer game online with his buddy. Why was I irritated with this? Well....how much time do you have? LOL. My husband is very laid-back while I'm pretty OCD.....I'm a clean freak and he enjoys living in some dirt (he's a country boy and could care less about it). I just wish sometimes he would step up and ask if I need anything done around the house.....but he'll watch me, 9 months pregnant, spin circles around him cleaning/mopping/dusting/doing laundry/etc. and not think twice. Lucky him, right?

So, back to my invite....I am being extremely cheap these days....knowing that formula/daycare/diapers/wipes expenses are looming. However, as I continued to think how my husband was enjoying himself, laughing away with his friend.....I said "Screw this....I'm going". My girlfriend picked me up 15 minutes later and we did a mani-pedi together. I definitely enjoyed it. Was really glad I went....and wished I could go more often!!

However, upon returning home....at almost 7pm, my husband was STILL on the computer and our 11 year old was making a snack. I said, "Your father hasn't made dinner??". Wow....I wanted to poke my husband's eyes out.....and no, it wasn't the hormones talking. What a way to ruin a relaxing two hours! I don't know how this house would function without me....really. My husband said he was waiting for me to get home to see what I'd like to eat....but come on, we text all the time being on opposite work shifts during the week and could have just texted me. Sheer laziness. Wrapped up in his own world.

So, he took our son out to eat at his favorite restaurant and I declined to go....I didn't want to eat out and was craving something we had in the fridge anyways. However, upon them returning home....I told my husband I was then craving a Frosty from Wendy's.....so out you go to get me one. He didn't complain and if he did, I might have tried to poke his eyes out.

He still can't fold a towel right, refuses to grovery shop even though at this point walking is painful, let alone piling groceries in the car, and NEVER wipes his coffe spills off the dang counter. These men are lucky we have self control, otherwise we'd be walking around with a lot of blind men in our society!
	Comment from Angela18 » Posted Feb. 23, 2014 9:29pm Sounds kinda like my hubby. I'm doing circles around him and man handling the kids while he starts playing with his toys or computer, etc. I tell him, look, I will give you some time to veg when shit gets done until then remember I haven't had a break in I don't know how long. My last time away from kids was a year ago on our last date. Luckily he's a cook and can get it done in the kitchen but the mess he leaves behind that I have to take care of (he usually does a half ass job on the cleaning) leaves me to question if I really want him to cook. But he tells me he likes me to tell him what to do while home so I try to give him duties rather than do it all myself lately. He's ADHD pretty bad and will get lost like your hubby. He doesn't like my Italian wrath, though, so I tend to let it go on only so long before I explode. My husband said it, though...."men are just stupid, you have to tell us what to do because we don't think of it." Well he's not too stupid not to realize

	Comment from KenpoMommy » Posted Feb. 23, 2014 1:16pm I guess I'm lucky. My husband does the vast majority of the cooking and cleaning for us. The only thing he's not allowed to do is the laundry. He's not very selective about what get washed together and there is always a couple of casualties. And he can't fold for crap! Lol
	Comment from mrsamanda » Posted Feb. 23, 2014 12:45pm I totally feel ya on the cleaning. I can be lazy, too, but I can't stand walking around in filth and having crumbs and junk stick to my feet on the linoleum floor! Ugh!
