Well...I have to say, becauseful what you wish for.... you just might get it... I had been wishing for more time spent with my husband... and then he broke his wrist... and he can't work at his job on light duty because he needs 2 hands for everything... and now that he's home and has totally unstructured time, all the time, he's cranky... doesn't care for any of my suggestions of how we could make the best use of the time together... doesn't want to do anything useful like taking out the garbage... does me a favor once in a while and straightens up a couple of shelves of our videos... other than that, he doesn't hardly move from the bed or the computer chair... whines about how "disabled" he is (to me, he's still got 3/4 of his body, which is about 10 times better than what I've got to work with... Grrrrrrr, I never thought having hubby underfoot would be a royal pain in the rear, but it sure as heck can be... he won't admit that he's depressed, either....
He won't leave the house, except to go to doctor's appointments or to visit one or two of his friends... he won't run any errands for me... he deliberately aggravates and irritates me, then he wants to get cuddly....
Well, I love him to death, but right now I'd kind of like to throttle him.
Hey, I'd know what to do with a cranky toddler on a rainy day (I still have crayons and colored pencils in the house, believe it or not!), but I can't seem to make things tolerable for the two of us. I've tried cooking extra nice things as I'm able to do so, but he claims he's just not hungry!
I can't wait for that freakin' cast to come off his arm so he can return to his normally moody self!
Anyway, thanks for letting me vent, Ladies!
Love,
Lil, the not-overly-patient
