Impish Posted August 3, 2012 Author Share Posted August 3, 2012 I'm sure it'll be funny. Tomorrow. Or a month from now. Don't get me wrong, I tried to present it so others could laugh, b/c I know that if it was someone else's life, I'd be wetting my pants. :D Right now, I'm tired, sore, hormonal, and ready to cry.

BoyOBoy Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I live with my in-laws. What gets me is when my FIL walks into the house while I've got screaming kids and asks what I'm making for dinner and when it will be ready, then leaves his dirty dishes on the counter. I hope your evening has settled down and you can start fresh and feeling healthier in the morning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't mean to laugh at you like that. I've been having those sorts of days the last month too and I guess I come at it from a better to laugh than cry type of mind set.

jelbe5 Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 :lol: Reminds me of a great cartoon I saw years ago in a book called "We Should Do This More Often" Worn out new mom is sitting in a chair, holding baby, still in nightgown, house is a wreck. She is fantasizing that hubby is coming up the walk with pizza, flowers and chocolate. Exhausted looking hubby is coming up the walk. He is fantasizing that wife has a lovely candlelite dinner for two ready, she is wearing a slinky something and baby is contentedly sleeping. If you ever get a chance to see the book it is very funny. Hope you get your chocolate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fraidycat Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 "Whatever the heck you make!" Silly, silly man. :tongue_smilie: Heck is not the word I would choose at that moment, though. It would be a much stronger, more base *I have an IQ barely above a slug and a vocabulary of 100, mostly curse words* type of moment. ETA: I hope your day goes better tomorrow.

SunnyDays Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Imp, is this what prompted the comment on the other thread about the way to a man's heart being through his ribcage?? :D Just curious... My standard answer to that question is: would you rather call Domino's or Papa John's?? :lol: My DH had the nerve to finish my rum the other night before he asked what's for dinner. I still haven't bought more. NOW I know what I forgot at the grocery store... :tongue_smilie: Sorry you had a rough day, Imp. Hope you're getting some rest...

Impish Posted August 3, 2012 Author Share Posted August 3, 2012 Ok. First off, no bloodshed occurred. Head is still attached to his neck. He slept indoors last night. In his usual side of the bed even. I ended up w/a brewing migraine, took meds, and headed to bed, leaving him up w/Boo and Bazinga. I've been informed that they didn't go to sleep til 11 pm. And yes, that's why I made the comment about the way to a man's heart being through the ribcage. Moments like this are why he no longer has the need to pursue adrenaline sports. All the has to do is say something out of whack, and he gets a surge of adrenaline and worries about severe physical injury :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impish Posted August 3, 2012 Author Share Posted August 3, 2012 Yup, still in one piece. And migraine is gone, so we're on an even keel. He's off today (working Sun), so probably wasn't the best timing for him :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
