Apparently Bubba is having 'issues' or as he stated to me this afternoon "this is uncharted territory" OK yes you out of work is indeed uncharted. The only worry I have is you home alone without a plan and a list of things to keep your idle hands busy. (see the bleach story for what happens when we leave Bubba home alone without a plan)
Let me set the stage, did my morning for the work hours, all good. Ran to the doctors blood work - only to find out I shouldn't have eaten breakfast - so we'll deal with that Monday morning. Then to the department store - bring back Bubba's shoes he decided he didn't want, then to get my new shower curtain and extras that I did want! Coupon time!! Then ran to the grocery store to get supplies for the Rainbow girls, $15 bucks not bad.
Then a quick deposit, then drop off the supplies at the lodge, and then home. Made myself lunch enjoyed a chapter in my book... then he called.
He sent something home email - put it where he can find it... frankly I would have to print it, and staple it his forehead for him to find it without a question... but I digress. I will deal with that. Then he starts in bla bla bla, the uncharted territory it all boils down to this. He says something about spending money, I poke at him that I have a job, then he gets his tender feelings hurt, then he grumps and says something about divorce - I mention there is a door and that he will be poorer for the experience. THEN today the major grump comes out - I'm cranky I'm not supportive I'm not sympathetic to his issues and again with the uncharted territory.
Wha? Who was the one who said go take the time off? Who suggested after the first threatened layoff we take a vacation? Who again mentioned might want to back up your start day for potential new job because you wont' have any vacation time? Who won't take a freaking day off of any reason because "I can't right now" every week of the blessed month. Who's schedule did we have to work around for 2 flipping days off to go to camp?? It wasn't me bucko!
Yeesh I've head my bitten off for trying to be nice, I've head my head bitten off for poking a bit of fun you used to be able to take, I've had my head bitten off for not being nice. When anyone sees a point in which I can win - drop me a line will you? Holy and cow.
I know he's not happy that this has come to pass - but son - haven't you SEEN this coming? Why is this such a shock? It's not like they said Tuesday, pack your stuff and get out and here is your last paycheck. You've got an end date, two more trips, plus a boys weekend to Vegas in between - take a freaking chill pill already. My god man I've cooked 4 nights in a row - like major meals! Backed chicken, enchiladas, baked salmon... people this is major cooking in my world - with side dishes and veggies and sauces - not to mention the kitchen mess and clean up! AND last night I made a special trip for the enchilada sauce he likes from Trader's Joes, plus I got him goodies for dessert - I am really making an effort here. But again I am not sympathetic to his situation...
OK deep breath in, and out and ....... he's still a butthead. ;-)
Take some time off darling, learn to stop and smell the roses - of course looking at his genetics I would have to knock the man senseless for him to sit still for 15 blessed minutes. Me? I could take the hound dog approach to lazy - nap, food, stretch, the occasions 'personal' visit then back to the nap section of the day. Because there are days you just have to tune out the world. My darling Bubba simply does not have the ability to do that. So I guess we'll have to channel that into something positive - go outside and.... insert task here.
All right - I've got a program to finish, some letters to write and doggie duty - again. 4th week in a row - I think it's his turn, plus the grass is really high, so it will be hard to spot ;-) He can catch the rest when he is mowing.
Oh yeah! And a new shower curtain!! Very happen only took me 14 years to get rid of the one I didn't like... we'll chock that up to didn't want to tick off the person who gave it - and too broke to justify the expense, then forgetting about it -then not finding what I wanted, then finding what a I wanted then waiting for the coupon and the shower curtain to both be in stock at the same time....
I'm going to search the house for some chocolate.
EDIT - when you take an afternoon OFF generally you have a purpose in mind... I did. And I didn't need it loaded up with Bubba BS - but of course MY time off is what he thinks as things he needs done that I should be doing. Kiss my grits I got MY stuff done first. GRRRRR
Another round with Mr. Happy and I'm going to have a stroke or just kill him in his car. I hate dealing with this stock stuff so frankly - yes I have put it off and 3/4's of the time I just plain forget about it. Sue me. So now I have all my paper work done and I will get up and get out and go the the place, get it dealt with and smack him upside his sleeping backside when I get back with the completed paperwork - which I should have done months ago - but well I was busy doing other stuff - like work or something fun.
I full expect a full blown crab-fest when he realized my afternoon is sucked up with "girls group" (insert Bubba expletive here) but I like working with those girls, and going to luncheons and having a meeting and socializing outside my four walls. His family - can't manage to socialize within their own family much less outsiders. And it was such a good plan for my day.... now it's all yellow colored and smelly. Screw chocolate I'm moving on to liquor. ;-)
