Annoyed

[lalicopa]

Can someone please explain the phenomenon where husbands/partners see that you're in a shitty mood, are annoyed by some of the same factors (like the four year old who is losing his mind without a routine for the second week in a row), yet still manage to take great joy in pushing all of the buttons that they can locate to aggravate you further? I don't get it. I swear, I don't.

Then he questions if I'm mad at him. Is he fucking kidding me? If I saw he was in a bad mood, actually KNEW some of the reasons...I just may try to give him some breathing space rather than deliberately irritate the shit out of him with whatever energy I could garner.

I cannot wait until he starts his new job. These two weeks are killing me. He's been off since Friday and isn't starting until July 5. Luckily, he's going into NYC to spend the day at his new job and learn some of the ropes, set up email, etc. So I'll have at least ONE annoying boy out of my house for the day.

Then Laszlo starts camp on Friday. His OT doesn't start up again until July 6. I'm hoping it doesn't take him too long to adjust to his summer schedule. I think it's just the utter lack of a schedule that's been making him behave disgustingly. I always heard about this, but had never experienced it until this time. On all his school breaks, he did great. Maybe it's because he knows when he starts again, it's going to be different.

All I know is that Robert took Laszlo to my mom's pool and I just put Lily in for a nap because I told Robert that I *had* to get some work done. Of course he can work any time of day or night and just lets me know he's doing it, but I have to give him a day's notice that I need to be in the basement dyeing and sewing for him to prepare to care for the kids. And it's just Laszlo since Lily's asleep.

Hormones anyone? But seriously, this would have me nutty on my best (non-pregnant) day.

I think I'll take a nap for a half hour and THEN go into the basement, gotta get rid of this tension headache and cool off my brain before working...otherwise I'll make careless mistakes that will piss me off even further.

When he asked you if you were mad

Did you give him an honest answer?

Nope...and I see your point.

I told him I was aggravated and that I didn't need anymore annoying today. So I was hoping he'd get it from that, but we both know he's thick headed and somewhat retarded.

How's by you?

Preach on, sister!

How did you get into the tie dye business? I would love to be able to make some money from home, I just haven't figured out how!
