I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
first, I have slept horribly the last few nights because of my husbands snoring and the dogs snoring! If it’s not one, it’s the other. Last night it was 100% the dog. All night long I was woken by the sounds of him either licking a paw or making coughing sounds. So every time he made these noises and woke me up, of course I worried something was wrong and had a hard time going back to sleep. I’m whining right now because he went back to bed around 11 this morning and when I went In to my room, there he was, sound asleep on my side of the bed and TOTALLY QUIET. Poor old dog made noises all night long and then once I get up for the day, he sleeps quietly. SMDH. And he’s totally fine today, I don’t know why he’s been making so much noise during the night but I am TIRED NOW!
Second whine moment. I just tasted the most awful tea. I can’t put in to words how horrible it was! Celestial seasonings peppermint tea. Just nasty!!
but on a happy note....10 years ago I was working in accounting and found a box of celestial seasonings “sugar cookie sleigh ride” tea in a cabinet in the little break room of the bookkeeping practice my employer had recently acquired & where I had been assigned to work a few days a week. And it was the best tea I’d ever have! With no shame, I made myself a cup every morning until it was gone. And for a few years, I searched high and low for that tea but couldn’t find it anywhere!!
Well 2 weeks ago,to my utter delight, I was grocery shopping at Safeway and found a whole display of it near the pharmacy area!!! Along with that awful peppermint tea! So I bought a few boxes and it is just as good as I remembered. I’m glad I only bought 1 box of the paper mint tea because it’s going in the trash!
Don’t trash it. Put a bag of the mint tea in with a couple black tea bags into your teapot. Quite refreshing. It will be like black tea enhanced with mint leaves.
My parents had an "Elder Law Attorney" and her paralegal was helping me with the complex reports, thus the cost was for her work, not that of the Attorney.
If there is no probate, is there a family issue? My late Grandmother's estate took 10 years to settle because none of the five grown children could agree and some were getting their own attorneys, etc. All it did was slow up the works and cause more taxes to be paid, and more attorney fees.
It probably has had to go through probate, but I think in this state you only have two years and that will be up in two months.
There are no family problems between my wife and her twin sister.
Have you considered seeing a therapist to work through these emotions? The combination of talk therapy and medical therapy work very well together and you might reach the point where you don't need the meds.
WHO DAT! Geaux Saints!
LSU plays on the 13th. Hope they win. My daughter graduates in May. Would really like for them to end the season with the championship!
Best wishes to your wife. Tough situation.
😀
Boo hoo🙁
Have to whine about the husband and the new car now. And it’s a petty first world complaint too. He turned on a setting in the car that, when you turn the car off, the steering wheel raises and the seat moves all the way back. Some sort of setting that makes it easier to get out of the car apparently. Well short people like me (5’3”) don’t need that setting. I didn’t know he turned this setting on and figured it out when I got back in the car after loading my groceries this morning! I had to push the button that automatically positions the steering wheel, seat and side mirrors to MY personal settings and wait a few moments before I could start the car. Which isn’t a big deal BUT it’s annoying. I cannot start the car if my foot isn’t on the brake because it has a push start. And I cannot reach the brake pedal when the seat is all the way back. When I got home I asked hubby why he turned that setting on and I asked him to turn it off and he said “it should automatically adjust to your settings when the car turns on”. And trying to get him to understand that I CAN’T reach the brake petal to turn the car on was a futile attempt on my part. So I guess I will have to start remembering to use the remote start option to the car on before I get in. It’s just annoying because I don’t need the easy out setting and I liked it how it was before he changed the setting!
Hey, please root for LSU. we are undefeated. Have to win the game on the 13th. Geaux Tigers!
My daughter is graduating this May from LSU and I would love to see them win.
2nd whine moment: we were going to go to a Christmas party and had a caregiver lined up to come stay with dear MiL. Caregiver called off sick. It happens, germs going around. But we had to miss the party. Ha it doesn’t sound so bad when I write it down but I was disappointed at the time.
There, now I feel better!
How was the movie? I want to see it.
Sorry about your dilemmas. Hugs!
My husband was admitted for fever and pain with unknown source. They're still doing testing. Every time they have an idea of what's going on it doesn't pan out and then it's on to the next theory. So it's me and Dad alone the last few days. He talks in his sleep -- LOUDLY. He peed his pants this morning so we started off first thing this morning with a shower and laundry. I have not been sleeping well -- 4-5 hours of broken sleep at night. Not eating well -- a cup of stuffing, a cup of coffee and FINALLY hungry this afternoon I had a Chipotle burrito. That's all I've eaten in 3 1/2 days.
My sister and her boyfriend are living in my dad's house alone until we sell and they STILL have not started cleaning and packing up their junk. And I mean junk... 40 oz beer cans, bottles, garbage all over her room. It looks like an episode of hoarders. I had to threaten eviction last night if they don't make some progress by next Monday.
On top of all of that I got a letter in the mail from the town that if we don't have the dying tree in the front yard at my dad's house removed within 30 days, we will be fined.
I'm getting a bit of a break tonight from another angel, a friend of my dad's is making dinner for him and taking him to an AA meeting so I can go spend time with my husband -- about 4 hours. I miss my husband like crazy and I hate not being able to spend more time at the hospital. I hope the doctors get to the bottom of what's wrong with my husband because the stress of everything is unbearable. I've never been stressed to the point of losing my appetite.
*deep breath*
That sounds really nice. That’s a lot of work but it will be lovely when completed.
My whine moment is that it’s that time of year when hubs spends a lot of time tinkering around in the garage and I am left freezing my arse off in the house because he & the kids leave the kitchen door open (door in the kitchen going out to the garage). He has turned the garage in to quite a man cave! Over the summer he got a pub table & chairs, 2 years ago my SILs hubby sold him a commercial heater & he came out and hung it in the garage so now the garage is heated. And for Christmas I got him a TV which he promptly hung out there. It’s COLD now and I just get so irritated that it’s freezing in the house while he’s out there with his heater going. I could turn the heater on inside and I do, but it does no good when my family constantly leaves the door open. I close the door but they are all in and out constantly so it’s always open!! I despite this so much. I guess I should bundle myself up and go out and sit at his pub table under the heater since it’s warmer out there than it is in the house!
But I love him and that's why it's hard cause I hate to see him unhappy.
So sorry about your kitty. You are such a good momma to him. He’s blessed to have you. Pets are our babies.
cwillie, I have to admit that’s a simple solution that never occurred to me!! THANK YOU!! Actually the solution to 2 problems. My old man Spike is the other problem, he’s nearly 16 and going deaf and blind and has terrible cataracts and after 15 years of being obedient and staying in the garage when the door is open, he has started wandering off! So I’m constantly putting up the child gate while everyone else leaves the door open and moves the gate and doesn’t put it back up. Looks like amazon has lots of different automatic door closers, let’s see if I can get hubby to install one!
