well fiiiinally the ole tomaroonie is here. I was crabby as heck yesterday. I think everytime my husband got on my nerves it was legit. Cause he was being irksome.. but due to hormonal issues maybe I did not handle it with the grace and aplomb I normally do. :) My husband walked in and started shaking his head at the piled up garbage in the trash can and recycling bin. And I kinda went a little bonkers.. He has one job.. take out the garbage/recycling. I do all the dishes, laundry, cleaning, washing of kids, shopping, dr appts, dental appts, vet appts, car care, cooking, buying of presents, planning of any and all events.. I do it all. Just take out the flipping garbage.. well he does and often with attitude.. last night he was making faces about how high up it was piled.. and I thought well if you had taken it out yesterday (when it was full and not piled high)... but I did not say it. Then he was stomping around. And I had just had it. I said "just leave it.. I will take care of it.. we can add it to my list of chores." Well then he stopped stomping around and started asking can I help you with anything. Well the more he asked the angrier I got. All I kept thinking was your only job around the house is to take out the garbage.. that is how you can help.. and that seems to be too much so.. no thanks.. help like that I dont need or want. Then at the end of the night after the kids had gone to bed and he was eating an absolutely freaking awesome dinner of pot roast, carrots and potatoes with home made gravy.. he said.. "sometimes I think I take you for granted" and I just wanted to say.. "umm yeah" but instead I did not say anything. And we went about the evening bidness as usual. This is not the first time we have had this argument. It is an old favorite. So yeah.. things are pretty good when you sore spot is who is supposed to take out the garbage. He is a good man. I am lucky.. but for the love of all things holy take out the freaking garbage!!! AND RANT OVER! :) Have a great weekend buddies

Dude, are you married to my freakin brother???? that is his only job in the entire house and I currently have 2 bags of garbage that I am stepping over. He has been complaining about it and I keep ignoring him and the other day his gf said "can you take the garbage out please?" and he was like " I am so tired, I'll do it tomorrow" and that was on Monday.

Yeah, that sucks. Sorry Ceebs. At least he recognizes that he takes you for granted. Hopefully that means he'll actually do something about it? I really hope so. If nothing else, here's a joke I received in a forward the other day and it cracked me up. Hopefully it'll make you smile too. WOMEN'S ASS SIZE STUDY: There is a new study about women & how they feel about their asses. The results were very interesting! 30% of women think their ass is too fat… 10% of women think their ass is too skinny… The remaining 60% say they don't care, they love him, he's a good man & they wouldn't trade him for the world! HAHAHAHA! ...Have a good weekend!

And we pretty much play a trash game in our house. Whoever places that last piece of trash that doesn't fit and falls out of the can has to take it out. We've never discussed this game, but we sure play it! You'd be amazed how good I am at cramming trash in there when you'd be sure it wouldn't fit! LOL

there is a simpsons episode about the garbage and they have a poem.. "who ever tops it off drops it off" or something like that. Yeah.. I know he loves me and he does take me for granted.. I think maybe it is time for another 4 day weekend.. so he can see what life it like when I am not around again.

We play that same game as deb! We also have a rule - whoever cooks gets to rest or play with Z while the other one does the dishes and cleans the kitchen. I see it as simple courtesy to the person who took the time to plan a meal, get the food, prep it, and cook it. This year I do most of the cooking and he does the work after, but last year he did all the cooking and I did the cleaning. It works for us and removes (some of) the daily bickering.

You said irksome and aplomb and then complained about the exact sort of thing that makes me crazy about my husband. Except his job is unloading the dishwasher and whatever else I ask him to do.
You're so cool.

Cebee, I'm divorced. I wish I had someone to say can I help you with anything, and I realize I take you for granite. Those two things jumped out at me that he loves you and actually is trying to communicate that. Men in my life have had a serious lack of communicating problem. Therefore I have no man in my life presently. You are blessed to have someone to complain about. Even if he like most men doesn't like to do his chores. If you ever are in the mood to read about relationships read 5 love Languages by Gary Chapman. Incredible book for those in relationships on how to communicate and learn each other's language. For the record, he should still take out the trash:)

Hey Ceebee, I used to get so angry at my hubby over the bad division of labor in our house. I played the martyr a lot and then would blow up. Now I just ask for things to be done and I usually get help. Two weeks of my going out of town also made him realize all the little sht that I take care of that he doesn't even know about. I feel for you, girl. If you're lucky you'll also mellow out a LOT after menopause. I sure did. Those TOM hormones would make me grow a leathery tail.
