if anyone is interested in listening to what i'm listening to there's a free internet stream on (spaces added on purpose) w y y x (dot) c o m

it's the radio station at one of our glorious gulf beaches. it's been great for laundry duty.

oops - where do you find the time or the energy?! I'm utterly shattered, about to head to bed and on early shift in the morning.

If anyone else has Sazz's mobile number, send her a text - she's missing us all

i need calming... dh currently on the phone to his mum moaning about me, how he can never find anything, place is a tip blah blah fucking blah

you're fecking joking?! Am I missing something here? Isn't he the one NOT fecking working at the moment?!?! I shall channel your fume for you - you keep calm and relaxed darling, calm and relaxed

Miamla - tell him if it's irritating him that much then get on with it - you are supposed to look after T and do it all so why can't he?

Miamla mine doesn't moan to his mother BUT he does complain about never being able to find anything. We've only 1500SF! I don't have a whole lot of places to "hide" things. And YES isn't he off at the moment? He could "help" make it more organized if it's not to his liking. GRRRRRR!!!!!!!!

Dizzy I've texted Sazzles a "hello".

i wish i was joking. i can still hear him whinging about it all now. and i can just guess what his mum's saying... oh you poor thing, having to do everything. why doesn't she help you more etc etc
It just seems that everything that goes wrong is my fucking fault at the moment. i stopped him throwing out a rucksakc of mine earlier. he'd found it under the dining table and decided it had been there too long so was on his way to the bin with it
i'm fed up with it all
i'm so tempted to go downstairs and just tell him to shut up

it took him a month to finally screw DS's drawers to the wall (DS pulled them over and narrowly missed getting seriously hurt by them)

oh great, it would seem its my mum's turn to have her character assassinated now...oooh and my brother (the lovely one).... he's on good flow tonight

have a look at his profile on fb (if you can, not sure how secure it is) and that will explain exactly what he's been doing with his time off

wtf? miamla ffs!!! If i had the car and a sh her to be here with ds i would come over NOW and and an... dunno what. i'd wimp out of yelling at your dh but... i'd hug you.

i think your dh needs to spend 30 seconds in my dh's office. then he'll understand messy!!!

a sh here?
. how does anyone ever understand a word i type?
i mean a dh here! duh. he is out with the car being priestly. well to be fair, watching someone else become priestly.

a hug would be really nice right now so thank you, the thought counts

albs tell me honestly, what impression does our house give you?

see, i think your house is similar to ours but tidier!!! so i was amazed when your dh commented that we had ours looking really organized (as he looked at our shelves overflowing with board games ).

i do think your dh needs to learn to keep his own counsel a bit. If you moaned to your mum about him i know the reaction you would get, so why does he think he has a right to step outside your marriage and discuss it with his mother?

speaking AS an only child i also think your dh is in some ways a typical only child. i know i have some of the same traits. it is hard to know how to react in conflict with someone close when you never had to do it with siblings. but you learn. and you don;t learn by doing some of the things he does. like that time i called and he told me you would call back because you were hormonal, when actually i think you were incandescent with rage at him!

he throws himself out of planes?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!? wrong, just plain wrong [meep] although I still don't know what his project is but ALBS put it much more politely than me. Tell him to keep his own counsel a bit = shut the fuck up you tosser in this house

i don't remember that particular incident but it sounds about right! exactly what he'd say/do ie blame my hormones

ffs he's still on the phone to her. must have moved to a different room now though because i can only hear muffled talking. or maybe he's reading this and realises i heard what he was bitching about

i do remember him commenting about how tidy your house was and you just looked at me with a wtf face!

well i'm alot calmer and have stopped crying now so thank you girls, yet again!

ALBS your dh sounds like a religious detective according to that post. LOL!

Miamla go take the phone from him and have a WORD about the "issues".

MrsM - HUGS - he does sound like he has only child syndrome (not sure if he is one) DH can be exactly the same sometimes - me and my family are allowed to be complained about but heaven help anyone who even infers something may be wrong with his family (even the ones he never sees) he explodes and runs off to sulk at his mum. OR at least he did until we have a frank and heated exchange of words about our marriage being between us and if I had wanted to marry his parents then I would have invited them to our wedding night! What happens between us stay between us (we may complain to friends but never mention specifics i.e. DH is being a PITA about looking after DD/washing/hoovering)

Hi ALBS - long time no see.

Night all sleep well.

Dizzy - I know you are lurking - GOT TO BED YOU ARE ON EARLIES!!

lol ts. he wishes. no he is at a service for someone being inducted as priest of a new church (new to them not new to the world).

well dizzy yes, those words might be used here too. but i was being polite. yeah?! .

I wonder if he will come off the phone all chirpy or if he will do an ignoring act on you!

if he wants to be able to find things he needs to out things he needs to find in his blinking annexe!
my dh puts stuff in his office......

but then can't find it and i hear a lot of swearing and crossness when he is running out the door late and needing something very important buried document.

hi oops. you phrased that so much betetr then me.
and mrmiamla is an only child!

bed is calling. night all
xxx

oops oh he's def only child. and you're forgetting, his parents were practically there on our wedding night (the other side of a thin internal door because we had fucking adjoining rooms!)

dizz i used to do the same until i had a wee bump and broke my back! his project is building his own rig (he's spent about 70 hours on it so far...)

TS very tempting! damn, if only you lot hadn't calmed me down!

i'm going to try and sleep now too, night all

Dinner went well. We all ate different things. How did the mothers of the 50's do it? Wishing all a well rested evening.

She's asleep! She's asleep on the big bed with K!! HOORAY!! Mind you she and her sister went through a hundred books. K read them to R; I was dismissed. Fingers crossed the evening will be calm and uneventful. I love my girls!!!
