.... cuz he is IRKing me royally today!
Hubby got up early this morning... took the car into the garage and got the snow tires put on - my Christmas present, he says. Got new windshield wiper blades too - an added bonus.
No bows though. Well, not on the tires.
He was a tad put out that I stayed up late last night and didn't get up and go with him this morning so now he is being a megaPain in the butt.
Made him steak and eggs for breakfast - and during conversation mentioned that we are now out of milk, bread & eggs, so I figure I can't put off the shopping any more.
HE decided that if I am going grocery shopping, I must also go to the bank and get change for him....and while I'm out I should do Christmas shopping and THEN he got on a rant re: buying "ANY MORE CRAP FOR YOUR KIDS"
And THEN he started dragging boxes and bags from the attic, my workshop, etc etc... and piling them all up in the middle of the living room floor.
He is of the opinion that I have "all kinds of crap I've bought in previous years" and not given them.
Did I mention he is being a major pain in my arse?
There are 2 bags of stuff - purchased this year - like as in last week - and most of it is stocking stuffers for HIM and HIS kid, not for mine.
There are 2 boxes of MY glow in the dark Christmas presents - things I have RECEIVED and didn't have anyplace to PUT because HE is not into glow in the dark "CRAP" so rather than decorate with it, as much as I appreciate getting it, I tend NOT to display it anywhere.... I keep it all in my ~someday~ I shall have a space of my own box...
There is one box of wrapping paper and another of decorations - which were quite FINE under the stairs where they were.
He's also tossed in all of my craft supplies - things I use for CRAFTS with classes - and yes, I KNOW I am in a university program, not elementary school - and I teach adults, not kids - but I DO do crafts and hands on activities whenever I get the chance. It is different, and fun, and it helps people - even big peoples - learn.
And I do not appreciate having it all dumped in the middle of my living room floor.
So now - not only do I have everything ELSE that I planned to do today (shopping, the bank - for HIM - not for me, finishing my grad school applications, studying, dishes, etc, etc) ....I also am being forced to go through all this junk and reorganize it or hide it or whatever.
I FEEL like either
- ignoring it - he's the PITA that dumped it all in the middle of the living room - let him deal with it.
- throwing it ALL in the garbage
- or, since I have to deal with it, saying to hell with shopping and the bank. The freezer is full of meat - not MY fault if there is absolutely nothing to go with it. No veggies, bread, milk, eggs, butter, potatoes, etc.... let him eat steak. And what do I care if he has no change at the store? Not my problem. Apparently dealing with the mess HE made is far more important than ANYTHING else.
In other words, I feel like throwing a tantrum. I do NOT appreciate being treated like a kid and having my activities ordered by him.
Merry ****ing Ho Ho :(
He really needs to go to work - and stay there!

I feel so bad for you. I really do. It reminds me of my blessings, but I hurt for you that he acts so childish.
oh well...I sat here and went through all my very cool glow in the dark stuff - took it all out of packages so that it would take up less room - that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
AND I decided re: the craft stuff, that while I am out shopping I shall go to the dollar store (he hates when I go there :P~~~) and buy bins to organize my school stuff into.
and while I'm there, if I happen to see stocking stuffers that I want to buy with MY money for MY kids, I will bluddy well buy it and too flipping bad if he doesn't like it.
Fair bit o' that going on these days, Ina *sigh*
Thought we were over the worst of it, but apparently not.
and NOW he is angry because a) I BOUGHT MORE CRAP (including a 4 drawer bin unit to put my school CRAP into and b) I dropped his change off at the store and left.
Apparently HE thought we could just forget about the fact that he was an a$$ this morning....
"leaving already?"
"Yes. I have to put the groceries away, and find the living room floor."
and Sharon, I can do you one better on food that is past it's date. My BF's lovely daughter put an little note on the bagels that were turning green. "I think that these need to be thrown out"
I am so glad that no one else was home when I found that. I was ready to blow and spent the next 15 minutes muttering to myself. Why in the heck didn't she just throw them out then??
I think your bin idea is a good one ^^
Hopefully things return to normal soon :)
so quite trying to be normal and just go for those rants....
send send crabby off to work.
It sounds like it might be time for a discussion on boundaries!
This might be the opportunity, and now is not the best time I know, to go thru it all and organize it better. Smile! He is a big child himself.
Is there a big enough bin that you can put HIM into?? You will need help to carry him up to the attic, though.
All that's left out now is the Christmas decorations
Seriously, I hope things are better by today.
