Been a very long weekend with hubby home for a three day weekend off. He has been a pain in my side, like a little thorn all weekend. :sm22: :sm17:

Just got a load of laundry chugging in machine & kitties are fed & old dog went out.Hubby still here & still bothering me:sm22:

Brought hubs to ER last night & apprarently he did Not Have too bad of a problem if I dropped him off at 2:57am & he was texting me at 3:43am, that it was almost time to pick him up again, wha :sm07: :sm07: :sm07:
at that point, I think they should Keep Him, he has driven me Batty for THREE Whole Days :sm06: :sm18: :sm22:

It has been a long & irritating weekend with the other half home.. :sm22: :sm25: I can entertain myself for hours & get chores done without anyone underfoot & he cannot stay busy long enough with anything, without having to go for a ride with him..And I dislike his driving more than any of you realize... I am the better driver & have not been stopped for speeding etc. story for another time.:sm16:

Daughters friend, made her this Crocheted Bee & it is really very cute & soft, & large yarn.. :sm24: :sm24: Picture #3. I am very jealous & super impressed. :sm02:

I think I will thaw out pork chops & maybe fry them on my burner griddle & make daughter chicken patty on bun & make homemade macaroni & cheese as side dish for supper.

I need to vaccum parlor, damn animals shedding double-time, poor things; need to check catbox, check fridge, empty the trash. need to fold clean clothes pile. Wash dishes, sigh:sm18: Probably going to bake a blueberry buckle, As I did not get to make the lemon bars yesterday, because I could not find that recipe of mine:sm06: and hubby was following me like a puppy needing attention. Garrrggghhh:sm18:

Normally, I like Mondays, when no one is around to bother me. But today, I have a laundry list of to-do chores & do not need anyone hanging about in the darn way & underfoot :sm18: :sm22: :sm13:

Hoping your Monday is more pleasant than mine looks to be. :sm09: :sm18:

Hope your day improves ???? My hubby never stays still long enough to have a convo with him ???? but he is a messy bugger. ????

Can't you get the underfoot other half to do some of the chores like taking out rubbish. That shouldn't tax him too much and will give you a little breathing space. It took me a long time to teach my husband to vacuum but in the end he was better at it than I was (he moved all the furniture every time)!

 

[Puppies101]

Thank you for sharing.

 

[Nanxy]

Thank you for your post. There are times when I wish I have an other half, but reading your post reassures me how happy I am that I live alone!

 

[Creative Corner]

Get him a hobby or something to read or puzzle books. Be thankful you have him
because there may be a day you would give anything to have him back even with
those annoying things. He sounds like a loyal fellow and loves to be with you !!!

I lost my husband many years ago and I would give anything to have him here with me under foot. Try to find a way to enjoy the time you have left together. Spend as much time with him while you can. Make happy memories. Being alone is not all it's cracked up to be.

 

[LucyinCanada]

Thanks for the Monday morning smiles! It's surprising how much you can miss your partner being around when something happens and he's not there anymore.

I agree....the love of my life (2nd husband) went "Home" 7 years ago this October and I miss him every day! We had our ups and downs like most couples and he was the one who was worried that I would upset his "routine" when I retired 9 years after him....but we were always best friends and we love spending time together as well as time apart to do our own things. I was so grateful that we had the 2 1/2 years after I retired to make many memories before he go sick. The chores will still be there everyday........make memories now!

Beautiful day here in western Washington. Temps are staying in the mid 70's range, so not too hot. Hubby is playing golf this morning with his brother who is visiting from San Diego. After golf, hubby will be busy starting to fit canvas for the current boat in our driveway. Making boat tops keeps him busy. He has no hobbies, so I am glad he likes making boat tops, plus the added income is nice to have at the age of 78. I keep counting our blessings.

"What we have here is a failure to communicate."

Sounds like hubby likes being around you ...that is nice....but he is making you crazy...not so nice.

You need to have/should have a sitdown conversation with him. When he gets 3-day weekends in the future (or for that matter even regular weekends),
he should be asked to help you somehow, so that BOTH of you get a break. THEN, you will have time to spend 'enjoyably' together. (YES, maybe it is easier
said than done, but it may avoid all/some of the resentment you are feeling.)

When my Dad retired (MANY years ago), my Mom informed Dad that HE was not retiring...THEY were retiring. Dad had always helped Mom somewhat even
when he was working, but she wanted him to know that he needed to help her to be retired WITH him. It worked. She got to do a little bit less and then
they could both relax a little.

(For example, Dad would bring Mom to have her hair done and go to get her later. While he was home he vacuumed the house, then when he picked her up,
they went to lunch together and Mom came home to a vacuumed house.------- She cooked...he did the dishes. FUNNY...he used to say that she used more
dishes than was necessary because she knew that HE was doing the washing!! :sm01

Your situation sounds different, but I'm pretty sure you just have to ask for his help....what harm can it do???

 

[mattie cat]

Why did you take him to ER? What was he told?

 

[run4fittness]

Well, I had typed up a nice message and of course it disappeared!

Sorry about your hubby, maybe he can be rented out or something.

Thanks for the smiles.

Those of us who have lost our husbands agree with you.

My DH is alive and well, but I agree with others. Enjoy him!! or go your separate ways. Life is too short!!
Make many memories now, while you can

Wish my husband was here so I could complain about him.

I’m glad your husband is alright, have a wonderful evening.

Hubby does not think house chores are
His problem to do :sm22: :sm25:

Maybe you can get him to let you do the driving while you go to the Dairy Queen.
