Busy = Grumpy sometimes

Since yesterday, I have felt like I have been going nonstop. I tend to get grumpy if I feel like I'm doing all this stuff and it's not being appreciated. Yesterday was Dan's first day on the watch schedule and I honestly don't mind him coming home at 9 pm, but I had been all over during the day. My morning started with a doctor appointment at 8:15 for Madison, then running her to school, visiting teaching, then out to Mildenhall to buy some toys and other items I've been needing, coming home, realizing my carpet is getting cleaned Thursday, not Friday like I had been thinking, cleaning up my house and dusting it because my carpet is getting cleaned and I would like it just to all get sucked up while the man is cleaning my carpet, making dinner for the girls, putting them to bed with help from my mom by reading to the girls so I can fold laundry that needs to be folded and put away and then finally sitting on the couch by 8:50. Dan walked in and I had set a garbage sack outside so he would just dump it when he got home, I checked and sure enough, it was still sitting out there. I was MAD...seriously, could he not just pick it up since he was outside and put it in the garbage? He was like, "Oh I thought I would just do it in the morning," and my reply is how it has to go in the garbage bin since there are cats and other critters outside and it does have food so really that's not too smart to leave it out. So he's in pjs and so am I but I'm the one who goes out to dump it. I'm so not liking him being home at this moment. I'm tired, my house is just about clean and he does the little things that irritate me so....leaving dishes on the counter (seriously why can't he just put them in the sink?), not picking up the lid to the hamper and just placing his clothes on the top (I know...the wicker lid is just so heavy...seriously!!!) and just being in the same room is making me mad. I'm like to the point I tell him to just go upstairs and play his game which is so unlike me to encourage such a thing. So we put in Quantum Solace that I rent since I know he wants to see it and I just fall asleep. I wake up the next morning and I finish up cleaning the things I needed to and he leaves his dish on the counter. I flip out...the dishwasher is empty!!!! I go on about how a little help would be nice...he goes on about how he does his job by going to work and I say yeah but you live here and so you have to help out and since you don't do the "manly outside things" (we have a gardener who comes every other week) you can help doing the things inside and picking up after yourself. It's one of those arguments that will occur the rest of our lives.....

So this morning I took Madison to school and decided I was just going to keep Hannah out again since I didn't feel like driving to her school and then hurrying back for the carpet cleaners who were coming at 9:30 and then going back that direction so I could make cards. The man was super nice and I was super thrilled with the job he did and the price! I was in a better mood. Then Hannah and I head to making cards and there are some really cute ones she had us making so my day was even better! Hannah I were there for awhile, went and grabbed Subway and then headed over to the BX to buy some wrapping paper and cards for the two birthday parties Hannah has tomorrow. We get home, I forgot I had put a roast in the crock pot so dinner is basically made! My carpet looks oh so nice and we go pick up Madison. We play Operation and now they are watching She-Ra. My day is going so much better. Oh and I found the perfect card for Dan while I was browsing cards....It has two crabs on it, one a boy and one a girl and says I love how you love me (on the front) and the inside says, "even when I'm a little crabby." It is the perfect card since I was crabby when he was trying to make up this morning and the last thing I wanted was a hug from him. Oh and Hannah while watching She-Ra last night came in the room I was in and asks me, "Mom, why does He-Man only wear panties?" It made me laugh...who thinks things like that? Obviously Hannah.

Tomorrow....SCRAPBOOKING! Some of us are getting together and doing some pages....boy am I behind on that so I am excited.

You were busy! Glad that you went home instead of going to Lakenheath-it might have just put you over the top.

And I SOO understand the dishes thing. Last night instead of doing dishes, Terry played mario racing and I had to leave for book club. When I got home nothing had been done so I just stood in the kitchen staring until he came in and did it. I mean come on!

And funny random note, since Terry is working days this weekend-I think Dan is following terry around. Wierd. Anyhow...
