Saturday -- well it didn't start well and hasn't gotten much better. 4:30 AM bladder full and back is cranky, one taken care of the other doused with aspirin - well apparently the drugs made my muscles in my back crankier instead of better - so 2 hours later when they were doing their own version of a three quarters twist with a full frontal landing I was up, sucking wind and wonder who was sticking pins in their voodoo doll this early in the morning... sooo up slowly, moving slowly, dogs up and NOT moving slowly, bending over VERY slowly to get clothing and carefully make my way downstairs to let the dogs out and let Bubba sleep. One accomplished the other not so much - but he somehow managed to roll over and continue snoring to beat the band... way to solider on honey...
So out, in, fed, me pounding Advil like they are tic-taks and wondering if we still had some good pain killers then remembered the heating pad. So.. again SLOWLY up the stairs, knew they weren't in the closet as we had very recently cleaned those out, up and redone.. so I looked and ahhhh it was there... back down stairs, jack up the heat and put up my feet in Bubba's chair... about the time everything unraveled and one or both of my sisters in law got tired of jamming the needle into their Aunt Ing doll I finally started to drift back to sleep and RING! the freaking phone was ringing at 8AM in the morning even... of course I couldn't move fast enough from the chair to the phone and by the time I got to it he was up...
The call, oh joy oh bliss was from a Rainbow Mom telling me her little darling wasn't making the to-do today due to the fact she packed a bag and ran away from home last night. Now these are the good parents and they are involved and concerned and they did call the police, tried her friends and are convinced that she is with one of them... I haven't dare call the house later today to make sure she's gotten home but I may email later to see if she made it home in one piece... SO with that bit of news I was up and knew any napping would be done about bed time tonight... but I did go back and sit on that nice warm heating pad because I knew it was up and moving....
So up and showered he decided that now was the time to deal with health insurance selections - of course my starts (the time to select a new one) about 2 days AFTER his ends, I figured they would have the information up on the internal web - nope we got a "check back for more information" on the web site which of course makes him all sorts of happy... so I look around thinking maybe I can pull up last year's stuff - there is some not much and of course Major Crankypants is coming for a visit so I ask him where would he like me to pull this data from? The magically Internet fairies of my company have apparently taken the day off... finally we bag that idea I go shower and he goes and does Bubba things - whatever they may be today and I made us breakfast we chatted about things we needed to get done Christmas lists, we each called parents, mine as usual were out and about and unavailable, his out and about but his mother answered the phone and will get back to us... after all we have a deadline - I'm going shopping next week and frankly, right now 3 days sans Bubba is sounding like heaven.
Ok so putz, putz, fight over the fact that a AMEX bill got mislaid and was being paid 2 days late - interest and charges and so I went back and paid the whole bill through next month... thank goodness for on line bill pay -- then I have a Girl's group thing to deal with - outside of the runaway kid, plus I said he would help lay out the carpet for the Ladies group thing on Monday... since we're there we did that, got some things moved, we were waiting for folks he went and got a hair cut, kids came and went, things were handled and I finished up the set up waiting for him to get back, I was 99% done when he arrived, and we shut off lights and away we went.
Of course before that I had to get spaghetti sauce for the girls the assembly was supposed to bring that for the dinner - and let the bitching begin a new... $17 for 3 large jars of sauce of course I did the math wrong, spent 70 cents more than I should have "for a dinner we're not going to" and the second chorus of the day of "you spend too much money and we're never going to retire" (sing it like a country and western tune works better that way I have found)
So we're headed home and again he starts singing the same old tune, this time with the added stanza of who I gave to charity, the police and Slippery Rock, both of which we have done previously and it ain't a whole lot a money... now it's an issue we're only doing for family and friends. Fine, shall we add that to the list of pre-approved topics and other such things you Bubba must approve??? Bubba - Happy Anniversary stick it in your ear - I got one card for the neighbors we are spending the evening with, panty hose, knee highs and 2 books. Sue me. I bought a new exercise video and still haven't managed to make time to use it --- I'm working on it.
So what I'm saying is... yes I spend more money than Bubba, but no I don't spend it like its a crime to have it. Our bills are paid - mostly on time when someone doesn't lay it down where it doesn't belong and the other certain someone won't EVER admit to moving it...
Speaking of late bills -- we pay on line and during out little "you don't care about wasting money"spat part 1 of X today I mentioned that I could indeed pull up every bill for the past year and count on ONE hand how many have been late... so you chuck it up to shit happens, it won't happen again and freaking move on with your day. Its done, you can't change it you pay up remember this sucks and learn.. but a certain Major Crankypants has to stand there and have his little fit and 3/4's calling me everything but a lady - when I again point out both pieces of the above information to which he has not come back and we all simply move on with our day.
OK Bubba the butthead just came in and said the following to me... and I'm quoting "Why don't you come out here and pull up all this grass around this flower in the pot maybe it will make it through winter"
I replied "Probably should leave it as it at this point to protect it over the winter" Who knows but what ever...
Then I get this..."You kill everything, you do everything half assed - you start something and never finish it. You are so damn lazy." then he storms out.
I simply do not understand that statement and what's funnier my profile from work says that I hate to leave things unfinished. So F-U very much Bubba the butthead for adding another layer of puppy present on what has already been a super-fab Wedding anniversary.
At least it's a good dinner tonight and fun with friends and not just time alone with the Major Cranky-butthead.. plus I'm counting on wine with dinner and perhaps drinks later. :-)
See things are looking up already. I will detail dinner tomorrow... post
