Vents & ramblings, feel free to ignore

Subject:  Vents & ramblings, feel free to ignore

I"m hosting Christmas brunch for my family so I've been getting the house in order.  I can't find places for the stuff we already have and Santa is delivering a whole hell of a lot more.  The idea to get rid of a toy for every new one is great logic, however these toys will be used by Declan eventually so how can I get rid of anything just to rebuy it later?  Argh - it's going to take me months to make sense of everything.

I'm also stressed over my fantasy championship.  I know I shouldn't, it's just a game - but, well, I want to win!  Particularly bc I'm playing against Dh's bf and he's just talking sh!t.  And I want to "girly" up the trophy that gets passed around just to eff w/ the boys.

So - my nerves are just shot.  And since I've quit smoking it seems that what I do now is drink coffee to cope w/ stress.  How does that even make sense??  It just makes me jittery and more spastic.  Great thinking, Mind, way to go...

Also, why does MH seem to think he's entitled to more sleep than me?  Wait, that's not even fair...  What REALLY has me PISSED is how he acts like I have no business being annoyed w/ him sleeping in after he's had an uninterrupted night's sleep.  You want to be lazy in my eyes and sleep in?  Fine, but don't deny that it has in fact been months since I've slept more than a 4 or so hour stretch.

blah...  feel free to vent your sh!t here.

I am sick if being sick! I have been sick for over a week and although I feel better...I have a long way to go! I am on day 6 of antibiotics. I want my ear to unclog. I am sick of sleeping on the couch but so far DH isn't sick and we would like to keep it that way. I just need to feel better everyone is coming here for a Happy Birthday Jesus Party. I don't know how I have anything else to blow out if my nose ...seriously 3I boxes of Kleenex this week. I hate being sick at the holidays!

I'm generally pissed at DH. The construction project for redoing the bedrooms (all I was going to do was repaint them) that he was going to "bang out in a couple of weeks" starting the 2nd week of October is. still. going. I finally threw a royal fit yesterday so he'd finish laying the wood in the little boys' room (5 planks) that he hadn't touched in 4 weeks. His excuse "Remember, I got a job?" - ya, TWO weeks ago, NOT over a month ago when you started laying the floor. ARGH!!

Remember, I"M HAVING A NEW BABY you snot! I have had 4 kids in a 10x10 room since we left for Disneyland. A dresser in the middle of my hallway. The other dresser in the garage (which he took over with all his crap, so my sewing and parking areas are unusable & EVERYTHING is covered in construction dust). 1/2 of the boys' crap and his extra tools in the middle of the only open area in MY bedroom - I literally have 2 1/2 ft in a path around my bed & my clothes on top of the storage boxes of boys' stuff.

And I'M apparently the one  with the crappy attitude who's being mean to him. Oh, and I'M digging myself a hole - see if he ever starts another project in the house again. REALLY? If you could finish one, THAT would be the miracle right now.

Oh, and the sleep thing - yep, pissing me off too. I'm up 30 times a night to pee and deal with the 2yo and 4yo who have decided that sleep is over-rated. And, we USE to have the agreement/habit that I would get up early with kids on Saturdays so he could sleep in, since he went to work so early (but he hasn't worked in 6 mo until 2wks ago) and then he'd get up and make breakfast on Sundays so I could sleep a bit for ONE day a week. Ya, that pretty much just vanished when he went to TX for work last year and has never come back. But I just don't get how tired he is. argh.

sinus rinses? They really help relieve the congestion & drainage.

I feel you on the house reno's.  My dad is redoing all of our electrical which is great, but free work is slow work and the cosmetic part of things aren't really there.  He leaves a lot of the 'clean up' (holes in walls, etc) for Dh to do I think.  Which brings me to dh....  As much as he would like to be and tries to be, he's not the handiest, hard working home owner.  I've decided this coming year I'm just going to budget to hire people to do the stuff I've been waiting on.  Like replacing the ceiling fan in my bedroom for example, I'm not talking huge additions or anything...

Kaiterz: yay for quitting. When I quit I started drinking more soda. DH told me he'd quit when I did... 1 year later... He's actually smoking more than when we both did.
DH is the same way as yours. I've been up for 2 hours with both kids and showered and he's still in bed being grumpy....he gets 3 days off and I don't get any bc oh yeah I'm a mom!
Part of it is bc I won't have sex with him until he gets Js room done. Bc like mama2many said something that should have taken days is taking weeks. DH started Js room when I was 2 months pg with L. I just wanted to paint.... He decides to take an outlet out and redo the doors and every time he got frustrated he'd quit. So now he starts tearing apart the entry room! We will see how long this takes bc J can't roam the 3 rooms he normally gets to.

I could have wrote the exact same thing about sleep except I get 2 hour stretches of sleep and that's it... wtf Parker, you're almost 9 months old. DH thinks its rude of me to wake him up so I can sleep. This morning he continued to lay in bed with Parker when I asked him to get up and watch him.

DH also told me this morning he didn't care that I had a paper to finish that I should have finished it yesterday while at my parents all day. Um I did a 4 page project and another 2 page paper that also required research yesterday. He only seemed concerned with work he had to do for his side business which is taking up way too much time in my opinion. Oh yeah and I'm still pissed about his super speeder ticket... it's 200 bucks on top of the actual ticket fine.

That's another thing that pissed me off. I will give L to DH and he lays him down in bed and L starts screaming bc he wants to sit up. I yell at him to sit him up. DH says he's fine, Sits him up, and falls back asleep. Really come on!
