Wednesday, Jan. 04, 2006 - 6:28 a.m. Feed the baby!
Soooooooooooooooo,
I thought having the hubby home would make it easier on me by lightening the
load around here. Uh, no. I got home last night from work around
7:30 and his parents were here. No biggie. But the house was an
absolute mess, so I started straightening up. Then they left shortly after
8 and he asked what I wanted for dinner. I don't really like eating that
late, and I had tried to pick something up on the way home from work but he said
not to worry about it. Well, I told him it was kind of late, and I didn't
want to wait for some take out, so I popped a couple of Marie Calendar dinners
into the oven. Travis was in a mood, and by this time it was almost 8:30
and I asked hubby when Travis last ate. His reply, "At
lunchtime." He hadn't fed the baby since lunch, BECAUSE HE FORGOT!
Roughly 8 freaking hours since he last ate! You don't just FORGET
to feed your kid! And THEN, he actually got pissy at ME for
getting on to him about it. When I asked him why he had not fed the kid
dinner, he said that he was busy, and then added that I was home as well and I
hadn't fed him. Um, well, no, I haven't been home. At least the last
time I checked, at 6:00 pm when he SHOULD have been eating, I was still at work,
so it would have been a little difficult to feed someone from 25 miles
away. Whatever. So
on top of straightening up and picking crap up off the floor and counters,
making dinner, I had to feed the kiddo too. Hubby played video games.
Don't get me wrong. I know how tiring it is watching a toddler by oneself
all day. I also know how tiring it is to be up before 5:00 a.m. (without
any semblance of a good night's sleep), bust my ass at work all day, have to
deal with HOURS of traffic to get home and THEN take care of a toddler, by
myself. So I don't feel it was very fair for my work day, which started
before his, to have continued while he just quit for the day. Now, I know he is
here all day with the little tykester, but, it IS possible to do work around
here with the kid. Yes, he will become very upset with you if you drop him
off in his corral area, but he will get over it. I
ended up actually not eating dinner until 9-ish, and then got the kiddo changed
and into bed around 9:30. Hubby then comes into the bedroom and asks if I
am going to bed, THEN proceeds to tell me that we need to lower the mattress
frame in his crib, right now. Well, no, not now we're not since I am in
bed and plan on staying here. It will take too long to do. He tells
me we HAVE to do it, because HE gets no sleep at night (kid is
sleeping with us right now - I KNOW! I KNOW!! MY BAD!) because the
little guy tosses and turns all night. Oh REALLY?! YOU get no
sleep? Let's see, the last time I was able to sleep through the night
without being woken by snoring loud enough to wake the dead, tossing and turning
from the other side of the bed, the dog chasing the cat in the middle of the
night, having to go to the bathroom, checking on the kiddo because I am his
mother and that is what I do, was, well over a year ago. In fact, I have
not slept through the night in over two years taking my pregnancy into
account. So I am sorry if I am a little less than sympathetic to your
"I can't get a good night's sleep" seeing as I wake up at least 4
times a night because of you and a myriad of other disturbances around this
place. You should have thought of fixing the mattress frame sooner while
you were playing video games while I was running all over the house busting my
ass cleaning up after you, getting YOUR dinner ready and feeding your child. Gah,
now I've gone and done it. I'm in a really pissy mood and mad at my
husband. I think its time to get a shower and wash off the angry. P.S.
- Hook 'Em Horns!!! WE CAN WIN THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!!! Song
Virus du Jour: "The Eyes of Texas Are Upon You" ~ The
University of Texas at Austin school song. Useless
Trivia du Jour: The Eyes of Texas
is the alma
mater of the University
of Texas at Austin. It is set to the tune of I've
Been Working on the Railroad. Students, faculty, and alumni of the
University sing the song at Longhorn
sports games and other events. The song was written in 1903 by John
Sinclair. The lyrics were intended to poke fun at University President Colonel
Prather. Prather had attended Washington
and Lee College, where Robert
E. Lee would frequently tell his students "The eyes of the South are
upon you." Prather was known for including in his speeches a similar
admonition, "The Eyes of Texas are Upon You," meaning that the state
of Texas was
watching and expecting the students to go out and do great things. Prather
enjoyed the song and promoted its usage. He died not long thereafter, and the
song was played at his funeral. After this, the song achieved its complete
dignity and meaning.[1] |
