I have so much on my plate due to all things I think I am capable of doing...however I can't, and when I can't I feel like a failure, a loser, powerless, out of the norm so to speak, to be honest I get kind of bitchy, that takes a lot. First let me say I love my husband with every ounce of my soul and I would not trade him! (However Patrick Swayze, I would have never said no) With that said.. my husband thought it would be a great idea to bring to my attention on Thursday night after a stressful day.. week... month and not to mention my first night back to the gym after a month (so totally in distress) He stated ..I worry too much..GASP...really? Ya think so honey? Well here might be the reason why you live so care free.... YOU ARE MAN!
LET ME REWIND....I married my husband when I was 3 months pregnant. My mother said "do not push the issue of marriage, just give him time" so I gave him time....I let him ask 23 times, more like 3 but I feel kind of powerful typing this post. I married my best friend without a doubt of any sort in the entire world. Yep best friend, I have stated over and over I could live with him in a box with a fox (most likely for a limited time) No, really we have a blast at whatever we do.
God bless the men in my life... your life...but they don't have a clue!
Some questions I might get asked on a weekly basis:
What's for dinner? (He has been home for about 4 hours now and I am still at work when he is texting me this)
You need clothes washed tonight? (As in he does and can I combine the load?)
What time you gonna be home? (it's 4:15 and I have been working a pretty regular schedule for about 3 years now always home by 5 or 530?)
Can I get gas? Can I get chew? Can I grab a coke? (He has no clue what goes on with the bills, god help him and my boys if I died! We could be rich and he wouldn't have a clue...we totally aren't its actually the opposite, but the questions add extra stress)
My favorite....You in the mood? (Yes, I am in A mood, probably not the one your looking for right now)
Don't get me wrong, he adores me, loves me, is VERY affectionate towards me...makes me laugh..blah blah blah anything and everything a marriage needs to survive!
So when you know I am having a bad day, I am stressed and life just sucks.... Don't stare at me as I plop down on the sofa and let my head fall back like a limp noodle...that I worry too much..because well..... that makes me........WORRY
Thank god for amazing family and close friends or life wouldn't be as fair as it is.
AMEN Sista! AJ is clueless to more than half the things that go into running my household. I get told quite a bit that I worry too much. So then I'm more anxious, worrying why HE DOESN'T WORRY. Well, if I didn't, who would??!!!
ReplyDeleteDoes he know when Maddie's lessons are? Maddie's cheer leading, girl scouts? Heck does he even know what time her school is? Does he know when Callie had a bath last? Does he know what bills are due this week? I can go on and on. I often wonder if my girls would survive if I was not around.
But we love them.....but we are also allowed to WORRY!!!!
