Good Lord

I have been Attacking my husband (sexually) lately. I think it is my hormones. Every time before I start my period, I want sex! This afternoon I was watching "Dog the Bounty Hunter" where they arrested a young boy. It was his first time being in trouble and he failed to appear in court.
Made me think of my nephew and my brothers. And I started crying.

Another side effect of those crazy ass hormones!!

Gettin' some

My husband is shocked at me and says I am turning into a sex fiend. I have initiated twice this week. Usually it is the other way around!!!

Maybe it is because I have more energy since being home. Maybe my hormones are in an uproar. I am not hearing any complaints from him though!!!!

Sara is upset because she thinks we have to have a weekend itinerary EVERY weekend. Well, yesterday I took her shopping for a little while. Then I got pizza. But today has been a "stay at home day" and an "eat whatever you can find day." Also she gave me a hard time because she has been with TC all day while I napped and spent some time with Hubs.
I am ready to take her to school tomorrow!!!

New stuff

Oh, Hubs wanted a tractor in order to mow/move dirt, etc... Unfortunately the tractor he wanted is over $6000 if it is in good shape. We only had $2000 to spend.

So we ended up getting just another riding lawnmower. It is really fancy, has cruise control, a gas gauge, and a little compartment to hold personal items. It is a 50" deck Cub Cadet mower. Pretty SWEET. I have attached a photo.

I had lunch with my sister yesterday. Today I mowed for 2 hours. Then I came in and did homework and laundry. Tomorrow I am supposed to meet a previous coworker for lunch. Thursday my other friend and I are going to see..."Why Did I get Married Too" and Friday I am meeting two other coworkers for lunch.
Busy week!!!

I am lovin' it.


Hubs and I got into another "discussion" over his wanting a tractor. I am so fucking sick of hearing about tractors that I could scream. We have one riding lawnmower but will probably buy another one because we have 4 1/2 acres. A tractor that he wants is over $3000 so that is sooooo not happening. So that is why we got into an argument.......... ummm discussion.

Ch Ch Ch Changes

I have been painting a lot this week. I did Sara's room and the hallway, the door to the master bedroom, one wall in the livingroom and I am sore!!! The good news is that I have lost 7 pounds so far. I mostly eat high protein and lots and lots of salads. I have had some emotional days because I am not used to being home so much. I miss my coworkers. Isn't that crazy??? Well, I have worked my whole life so this being home is taking some getting used to. But so far, I am staying busy!!!!

Good so far

Well, we have actually had a really good weekend. I may mow a little today if my allergies calm down! TC is drawing, hubs is fooling with the fishing stuff, and Sara is on the home computer. Hopefully today will continue to be good. I need to have positive things going on!!

Irritated

Today did not start off well. I woke up at 4 a.m. cramping like a mother dog. I took something but decided to stay up and watch tv. Woke the hubs up at 5:30 and he was having muscle spasms in his back...but he won't take his muscle relaxers. WTF?

He said he needs to really stay home for a few months and recuperate but now that I am not working he can't just take off without pay. I mean what the hell am I supposed to do? How am I supposed to pay the bills ?
I was crying and he called me and we talked.
I was feeling better about things and I went to get some paint to touch up some walls that have scuffs, marks, etc on them here at the house.

I got an e mail from TC's teacher saying he called her a bitch so I decided to pick him up instead of having him ride the bus home. I picked up Sara too and took them to McDonald's. I talked to TC about not saying bad words at school.

Then I came home and showed hubs the paint. He flipped out!
He was mad because I wanted to paint! I bought the same color we already have on the walls so I am not sure what his problem was...but he said something like, "You don't even know how to paint!"
I was thinking "Did I not paint at our old house?"

Well, I was upset, naturally. I had already stressed out all day and I didn't think the paint was a big deal, I didn't buy crazy colors, just the antique white that we already have on the walls.
I came in TC's room and sat on the bed.
Hubs eventually found me and he said, "What brought this on? When did you decide to paint?"

I told him that I am going to paint when he and the kids are at school so what was his problem with that??? This went on for awhile and eventually he said that he feels the things I do HE should be doing but he can't because of his back. I told him I enjoy doing things around here and I understand his back is bad but he needs to get off my case.


I am going to make some independent decisions from time to time and as long as they are not detrimental to our lives, he needs to just deal with it. I told him his communication skills suck and he really needs to work on them because our marriage is suffering because of his ego!

I have reconnected with some old friends and I am enjoying myself and for once things are starting to be about me!!

Oh no she di-n't

I was talking to a friend today. She is lucky enough to stay home with her baby. Her baby will be a year old next month. She made a comment about how lucky she is to be able to stay home and raise her baby and how fortunate she is that someone else is not raising her kid.
Well, this pissed me off.
See, I have always worked. Both of my babies went to daycare.
I felt, rather than be on welfare, I wanted to work and provide for my family.
We have never been well off enough for me to stay home.
That is just my reality.
I told her that I don't feel I missed out on too much and besides what choice did I have?
I had to work to provide a good life for my kids and to have good insurance.
I said I get tired of the stay at home moms judging the working moms and vice versa.
We are all Mom's doing the best we can do!

Good Easter

We had a good Easter. Yesterday we went to the inlaws. And today I went to my friend's Mom's house where the kids got to hunt eggs again...or TC did, Sara is a little too old! My husband did not want to go but was sort of acting an ass this morning and I told him that I am grown, do nothing wrong, and if I want to go to my friend's I will go.

I guess he got over it because when I got home, he was cooking and doing dishes.

So, how was your Easter??
