It's Saturday it's mellow - I am of course up before he is... no biggie. Day begins per usual, he's up showered and making stuff up for me to do.. groovy we're in that mode today... "there is shit everywhere" but of course none of it is his...
So I'm up and moving and morning routine, outside cleaning up the back yard while he mows and edges the yard. Whoopeee.... inside I make lunch - here it is left over eat this. I make the grocery list and the Trader Joe's list and the Wal-Mart list - I also looked up so recipes looking for something different one of which we'll try tonight - the other tomorrow. Of course we go through coupons and split the difference I do the wal-mart and Trader Joe's run - he goes to the grocery store. Bubba has got a real issue with this grocery shopping I guess he figures he is saving money if he goes - fine whatever.
But I get the 12th degree when I get home about how much money I spent!!! OMG really!! It's not like we're living hand to mouth - we do all right - and need I remind anyone the FIT he has when we discuss money and what our household income is! No I'm not going to post it on line for crying out loud that is just plain stupid - but telling my family in general terms the ball park in which we play sends Bubba into fits of apoplexy.
He literally asked me for the receipts and went on and on about buying shit we don't need. I didn't buy anything we don't need, I bought stuff we can use like bug spray with a coupon because it expired at the end of the month. It's not like that crap spoils or anything - then the 10th degree over a face cream thing I bought - with a $3 coupon it was $15 buck and change... his wart remover was 12 bucks and change did sir cheapy-cheapy say anything about that?? Oh no! But me wanting to try something so I don't look like a harped 40 something woman - that $15 will break us!
and the whole I don't care crap - is really starting to grate on my last nerve son - we save for our retirement, I don't buy face cream for $150 bucks -- a mere 15 at the flipping Wal-Mart. Shut the F up or I will go to Nostrums and start buying out the freaking store! Then you can bitch about the money I spend. Seriously!!!!!
I desperately want to know where this comes from?! His father says nothing - that I every hear - oh sure Mama spends it like it's unfashionable to have it - but WTF already! I almost said it - almost - you do the shopping - you just take care of it all but NO - no freaking way. I get up go to work all day and do the rest if I want to go nuts and spend $20 on face cream dag nabbit I'm going to do it!
*sigh* And I made nut and dried fruit mix with chocolate chips for our card game tonight with the neighbors since Bubba has eaten her out of mix every time we go there - of course it doesn't meet with his royal highness's approval - the chocolate chips melt in his delicate little hands and generally that isn't the part he likes. FINE jag-off - eat around them I'll put them under your pillow and in your underwear drawer later....
Off to make dinner - one comment and odds are he wears it tonight. And that would be wasting money - but it would feel so good.........
/ end rant.
