It all started last night. Hubby was late getting home from work, so I assumed he either had to work late or went to supper with some fellow firefighters. I was partially right - he and some firefighters went to a brewery after work. His shift ended at 5:00 pm, and he got home at 10:00 pm. Of course he had that stupid grin on his face, and had trouble forming words. He drove all the way home from Montreal in this condition (approx 35 minutes). Wonderful example for our kids, huh?
To top it off he left the stove on last night with his supper (scotch pies) inside of it. That was the last straw - at 4:30 this morning I went in our bedroom and gave him a piece of my mind. When told that he could have burned the house down, all he could say was Sorry. Later when I was getting dressed he had the GAUL to say that he wasn't drunk, that he had only had 2 beers, and that it wasn't his fault about the stove because he accidentally fell asleep on the couch while watching TV. Hello - he was awake enough to climb into bed at some point...
Insert SCREAM here.
To top things off, my scale read 171.4 this morning. That's an increase over last week of 1.2 lbs. Yes, I know I have to blame it on TOM, but it's still frustrating. Would someone PLEASE tell my scale how hard I've been excercising and how well I've been eating all week? Apparently he didn't get the memo.
I gave my Mom an IPod Shuffle yesterday - boy was she tickled! I ordered it from Air Miles - a cute little orange thing. All this time she's been lugging around a CD walkman, wearing this one pair of pants because it's the only one she can fit the player in her pocket. I downloaded a bunch of her favorite artists, plus Billboard's top 25 hot country hits. I ran into her on my walk this morning, and she was rockin' out to Brooks & Dunn. I get the feeling she'll be walking more and more...
I told her about hubby - boy is she THRILLED to be living on her own now. She had to deal with stuff much worse with my Dad, but I digress...
Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

Oh sweetie!
I'm so sorry your dh is being a PITA right now.
I had a time with mine a while back. He left his service revolver on our dinner room table <insert big baseball to his head here> I was FURIOUS! And to top it off, he left the dining room light on, I get home at midnight and I flew into our room in quite the rage, asking him what his f-ing problem was. He said, he was cleaning it, (it wasn't loaded...btw) and one of the kids called for a drink and he just forgot about it, but I was furious... I told him what if someone was peeping in our windows and saw that laying on the table...what if one of the kids saw it and played with it...even though it wasn't loaded, what if they saw a gun at someone else's house that was...
I hate when all they can say about something is "Sorry." UGH! I'm sorry you had such a rough evening because of hubby's stupidity. I hope today is better for you.
But honestly, problems like that are SO ANNOYING! And I get frustrated and simultaneously self concious when there's trouble with the boyfriend.
HOpe that hubby acts right today. =( Sorry friend, and about the scale too! Just keep up those good things you're doing and they will become an awesome habit. Have a good weekend Emi

Kick His Ass ... LOL
Amazing how women can cite 1,001 things wrong and a guy will just shrug and say, "Sorry." It's like they suddenly become five years old in a record five seconds. I wonder if they even HEAR us when we argue our side of the story??
The part about your mom and the music made me smile. Rock on, Mom!
You may have to PAY someone to take him off your hands!
OMG! Does he even realize how close he came to death? Not by driving drunk or leaving the stove running, but by being a stupid man? He must have been taking notes from the drunks he transports, because as an ER nurse, I know that whenever you ask a drunk how much they've had to drink, it's always "Two Beers." If they got beat up, it's "Two beers and two dudes that I don't know." Drunks can't count any higher, or they only count the 2 beers and shots, etc, don't matter. lol He'd better contact the local florist and start thinking of ways to redeem himself ASAP!
Sorry TOM is not helping things. Hopefully you feel better tomorrow. I'll have to check out Google Reader, btw. Thanks for the tip!
Sorry to hear your husband was being a dumb jerk. They tend to do that once in a while. You had to have felt better after that post, though! :) Men! They can be such idiots.
And the scale is just Tom's fault (men, again!). It will go back down, I promise. We all know you have been exercising your ass off.
I want one of those cute orange shuffles! Orange is my favorite color. Maybe I'll ask for one for my b-day even though I already have a Nano. That was really nice of you to load the songs on for her!
HEAR YE, HEAR YE, I HEREBY DECLARE THAT ANGEL HAS BEEN KNIGHTED AS ....... "DAUGHTER OF THIS DECADE" !!!!!
That is so awesome what you did for your Mom!!!! and even loading the music on for her. You Rock!! I want a purple shuffle!!!
Sorry about "not so dear hubby". I really think that the word "sorry" coming from a man's mouth shows their lack of vocabulary and commen sense! They used that word with their Moms and got away with things and they carry it over into the marriage!!!!!! NOT GONNA WORK!!!! Now, I am all in favor of "kicking his ass" when he is completely sober, hungry and without sex for a while!!!!
The scale is the devil on some days and other days we love him! Kind of like the men in our lives, huh? LOL
Awesome on hooking your mom up with an iPod. I love mine! And she has great taste in music -- I love Brooks and Dunn!

Pain
Could you even imagine what would have happened if it had been you that had done this. I always try to turn the tables on hubby to see what he says. It never seems to bother him at the time though. They always think that they have done nothing wrong. I hope your weeken was better. Keep smiling!!
Good morning. I'm having a bad day - sorry.
