1. I am sick of living in fucking Georgia...especially this part of Georgia. It's gross, high crime (seriously, there is a news segment every Monday called "Manhunt Monday" to help find all the fugitives from the weekend), and it's ungodly hot. Sick.of.it.
2. Not being able to do shit. I like being pregnant; I really do. But, I do not like having to depend on others so much. I want to go spray weed killer in a flower bed, but oh....I really shouldn't be doing that. Piss. I want a massive coffee sometimes. Or a gin and tonic. Or to be able to go to Six Flags. Or eat RAW sushi. Or even run a 5k. Or slam some Excedrin Migraine for this headache that Tylenol won't really touch. Damn it.
3. Military hours. Why does my husband have to be gone 50-60 hours a week? I've been there over the course of a normal day, and the time spent at work is NOT used efficiently. They could work hard for a half a day and get the same amount done. It's ridiculous. So he's zombi-fied all damn week and only perks for about one day of the weekend because of his jacked up hours and not sleeping. Also, this design prevents him from having very much "me" time. When he gets it, it is usually subtracted from "us" time. And that takes us to #4.
4. Video games. What the fuck goes on in a dude's head about video games? Really? Well, I should qualify this with it being specific generations of males. This is one of the few ways in which I wish Joe was more like my dad in that he would actually enjoy being outside doing stuff instead of playing fucking Black Ops. I can't fully explain why, but I HATE video games. Maybe it's a jealousy issue. I feel like when I am with Joe nothing can touch my happiness at that time....but that reversed, video games would be a pretty good rival to his time with me.
5. The diaper shower I have to go to today. Yes, this is an FRG. Some kind of "dipe and wipe" for five women, most all of whom have already received a pot of money from soldier donations at the company (including my husband) when their babies were born (yes, an ex post facto baby shower), which means the diapers I bought for this damn things are double dipping. Thankfully one of my friends is a showeree, so I hope she gets what I'm bringing. The things that piss me off the most are one, that this thing is so poorly organized no one really knows how it's working, and we've all had to ask around to figure out exactly what to bring. Second, there's an E6 and an E7 wife being showered at this thing. Uhhh, why the fuck do we have to buy shit for wives whose husband's are making that kind of money?? There is a significant pay jump once you hit E6. And as for the E7 wife, shame on you!! It's Joe's bosses wife!!! The fucking platoon sergeant. Why in the fucking world should lower ranking dudes have to buy shit for you?? Did no one learn a damn thing from Dick Winters: "Never let your men be indebted to you." Maybe that's not the direct quote, but it's the lesson that was intended in that particular scene of Band of Brothers.
So anyway. I have to go to this godforsaken diaper shower in the Georgia heat here in a couple hours while Joe stays home and happily plays video games online with his brothers. Upon my return, he will have to go to soccer practice (because since he has so much free time, he signed up for a rec soccer league!!!), so pretty much Sunday is over. I hate you, Sunday.

Damn son! Ryan is a gamer too and it pisses me off. It does take away from "us" time. He's like a zombie when he plays. It's so annoying.
I totally agree with wishing he were more hands on. My dad is so handy and Ryan is the opposite. It's lame. I'm more of a man than he is when it comes to man things. It's like he just gives up after 3 seconds of trying.
What is this diaper thing you are talking about? It sounds really confusing. I would be pissed if I had to go too. I'm not a fan of going to showers.
My husband is a huge gamer. It used to piss me off but now I just blog or read while he's playing. Also, I totally use it against him at a later time. Like if I want him to go see a chick flick with me I'll remind him of how I sat there quietly & let him play Black Ops ;)
Works every time.
I have to agree with Tyler, I'd be pissed about going to that diaper thing too. I dont do well at baby showers so having to go & actually buy people who make more money than me gifts would totally freaking suck ass. Hope your week goes better hon!
1. I hate showers of all kinds. I personally would just be a dick and not go. Instead i would give them directly to your friend at a later time.
2. despise, hate, loathe these words do not even begin to describe my dislike for video games/online games. My ex-hub played World of Warcraft online and it was awful. He would get home from work and immediately start playing and would play until 3-4 in the morning! He also refused to eat anything I cooked so he would sit there and eat frozen pizza or candy while playing (read between the lines here...he put on more than a few pounds and not in a good way). In addition going to bed so late when you have to wake up early means you are obviously not getting enough sleep so his alarms never woke him up, which left me to wake him up if I actually wanted him to keep his job. I would have to wake him up like 8 times every morning until finally I was yelling at him I was so frustrated (yes I confess I handled it poorly but can you really blame me?) Having to wake him up always ended up making me late for work...yada yada yada. Anyway I hate video games too! I am just super grateful to no longer be with him and instead I am now with a man who knows how to work with his hands like a man and doesnt play video games or watch porn, Praise God!
