Grrrrrr....

I am having one of those "my husband drives me bonkers" days!! (Although it started yesterday so maybe it is a couple of days!!) We had agreed that D would look after Joey yesterday afternoon and this afternoon as I had a JALT meeting yesterday and classes today and he had the day off work. However, my charming husband was out until 3am on saturday night/ sunday morning so understandably was tired on sunday afternoon. My MIL is here at the moment so he shrugged of ALL responsibilities to Joey and let MIL do everything for him and spent ALL afternoon in bed, except for when he went to the Gym. (Where is the pulling out your hair smiley on blogger!?!?) THEN when I called to check up on everything he complained about my organisation (or lack thereof) of the fridge. Had I been any closer and not on the phone, he would have been a DEAD man because I am sure I would have more time to organise the fridge to his liking if I hadn`t spent the last few weeks being a single mother while he spent every night down the gym trying to improve his BMI or whatever the hell he is doing. He slept all this afternoon as well and my poor MIL is worn out from looking after J the whole time, when that wasn`t supposed to be the deal at all! When I got married I thought everything would be a partnership but as time has gone on, more and more stuff has fallen to me, the only thing that hasn`t ended up being my responsibility is the nagging as my husband does more than enough of that for the both of us. Some days he brings new meaning to the word anally retentive.. unless of course it is something he doesn`t want to do, like put the toilet seat down for example!!! On the subject of toilet seats, one of my students told me that if you put the seat down and close the lid, it is good feng shui and increases your chances of winning the lottery. Now I am skeptical about that kind of thing but I thought it might work as an incentive for hubby to put down the lid as he loves gambling and buying lottery tickets. There is a big autumn lottery draw coming up and I am going to refuse to buy tickets until he puts the lid down consistently for a week. I figure that if I am going to waste our money, I should get some benefits out of it!!! (Then when we lose, I can tell him it was because he didn`t work hard enough with the toilet seats!! LOL!!!) But back to the reason for my post, I am tired. Bone tired. I enjoy having alot to do and having things on my plate and of course, I love my son, but I resent having to do everything around the house and everything for OUR son while he thinks it is enough to babysit from time to time when he feels like it. Grrrr.... (Blog posts can be very therapeutic, I feel 100% better just having typed all that out!!)
