Testes Tuesday

Does anyone have anything today? 

We are moving next week and DH is just being so casual about it.  He keeps telling me he "could pack this house in 2 days" and this morning I was stressing about how much is left to pack and he's like, "We still have a week!"  A week is nothing when you work full-time and need to take care of a LO in your spare time!  Also, on Sunday I had to go out to the grocery store and asked DH if I needed to take DS with me or leave him home (I meant, I'd take DS with me so DH could get some packing done).  He said if I could take him with me that would be great.  He didn't do anything!  He just watched the Falcons game on the couch!  Ughhhh!!!

I think I would pack up the TV.

I agree, pack the TV! 

Dhs work announced that they are going down to a 4 day work week, 10hr days. DH is soooo excited, me not so much, I love my DH so much, but the weekends mess my kids up with no naps and such, and adding another day to the weekend scares me. I feel like I'm losing a little but of my freedom. I'm quite sure I'll get used to it very soon, but for now I'm not too sure how it will go. 

I realize this makes me sound awful... I'm just scared of change.

DH is always bitching about how tired he is.  It makes me want to smack him.  If I have to hear how tired he is one more time I am going to hit him. Last night he just shut his brain down.  Like completely.  I bought him some BioTherm men's skin care stuff that is supposed to energize him.  Last night I had to walk him through how to use it step by step.  I don't mean, "okay first you use soap, then put toner on a pad and wipe your face, then use these lotions."  No I mean I had to talk him through how to wash with soap. He kept saying "Okay what do I do with this stuff?" 

"Honey it's soap, you get your face wet and then build up a lather and wash your face."

"How come it won't rub into my skin?"

"What do you mean? It's soap."

"It doesn't rub in like sun screan?"

"It's SOAP you rinse it off."

"How? DO i use one of these other bottles?"

"No, it's soap, you use water."

I eventually had to go into the bathroom and wash my face again to show him what I meant.

My DH also complains on how tired he is, but he gets more than his fair share of sleep. He is afforded the ability to sleep in until 9, sometimes 10 am on his days off. The only time I've slept that late since DD was born was when I was really sick.

I feel like DH should be past this now, but today is really cold and he took LO to daycare without her winter coat or a hat. I asked him why and he didn't have an answer. I then asked him if he wore a hat and he responded "yes, it is cold". hmmm, he defended himself with "she was wearing a hooded sweater".

This is hilarious!! I know it was probably frustrating to you and I am sorry for laughing at your expense... But seriously hilarious! Men can be so dumb sometimes!!

I have been on a health kick lately.  I have been eating well, exercising my butt off and lost all of my baby weight.  I have been encouraging DH to do the same (we both put on weight while I was pregnant).  So far, I have had no luck.

He started having weird aches and pains, so I asked him what he was eating/drinking.  He told me days will go by without him drinking a glass of water.(?!?!?)  He will just drink pop some days.  His lunch the other day consisted of a mountain dew and two snack bags of cheetos.  I flipped out.  He isn't overweight yet, but I am scared what his eating habits are doing to his health.  He just laughed and said that he is still young.

Then last night he was talking about something and mentioned "when I get fat..."  I asked him if that was his plan (to get fat) and he asks me "would that make you love me less?"  That was an awkward conversation to have.

DH has been pretty amazing while I was sick. Took care of me, the boys, the pets. Awesome, really. But he gets into these attacks of bashing himself and it drives me nuts. Example:
He: why don't you go and have a nap for an hour before I head out
Me: no thanks, I want to prep xyz before you leave and I will just be grumpy if I sleep for that time.
He: I am so sorry
Me: it's fine, it helps that I can prep those things
He: but I suck. I should let you have a long nap and prep things for you
Me: well, I am very happy with the way things are.
He: but I should...

He doesn't get out of that and spirals deeper and deeper into that crap. It's bad.

Oh and he doesn't understand how to help Alastair to learn words. It's like
Can you say milk? Milk? Milk! Milk!!! Bottle. Cat. House. Dadada. Milk!!! Dog. High chair. Milk!!! Down. Stay. Book. Milk.

Yeah, I kid you not. Not sure why he doesn't get it.

Things have been stressful at work for DH, and he is super tired and stressed when he comes home.  The past few days, we have been having the, "are you ok?" "yeah, I'm fine." fight.  Last night, we were on the way to bible study at a couples house we hadn't been too before.  I Had driven back from their house a different way like 2 years ago, during the day.  We drove there last night in the snow.  I made a wrong turn, and we just blew up at each other in the car. We finally got there, and we didn't speak the rest of the night.  Called him at work this morning, and he is really short and distracted by the funny things his coworkers were saying.  

Sigh.

Since DH never babyproofed our house, I told him that we need to have at least one room where E can run loose. I wanted to set up her playroom without any input from DH -- he's a severe perfectionist so it takes him forever to complete a task (he's been refinishing the door to my bathroom linen closet for 5 years and re-grading the back yard for 2 years -- 5 years with no door on the linen closet and 2 years with no grass!!!). He swore up and down that he would help and that he wouldn't get in the way. Well, in the process of "helping" to empty the crap out of E's future playroom, he brought a ton of the crap down to the main floor of the house. Now the situation is worse. Not only do I have a non-babyproofed house, I have a non-babyproofed house with piles of $hit everywhere (old furniture, old computers, old books, etc). I was home with E yesterday for the MLK day holiday, and it was a NIGHTMARE. I was sick and she was going from one "no-no" to the next. She'd make a huge mess, I'd redirect her and try to pick up DH's $hit, and by the time I'd turn around, she's made another mess. In the chaos of it all, E managed to kill my iphone. I think she must have sucked on the charger or drooled into the plug on the phone, which nearly caused a fire when I plugged it in to charge. I was so mad, and called DH at work to ball him out. He came home, took my phone to the apple store and tried his best to clean the mess, but I'm still so pissed I can barely look at him without kicking him in the nutz.

DH has done nothing but whine and complain about how tired he is since DD2 came 2 weeks ago. How many times has he gotten up at night? ZERO. When he gets home, he gets annoyed that I can't drop everything and do what he wants. Seriously?? The baby is 2 weeks old. Then he makes craptastic comments about how he worked all day. Really? You're right. I slept from 11:00 last night to 10:00 this morning. I only got up to feed a kid 4 times in that time frame. And you're right, I didn't wash the dishes today. I hurt and I think I've been over doing it. I had a freakin csection 2 weeks ago. I'm going to take a little bit longer to recover and you're going to get over yourself.

Take it easy, mama, and don't overdo it. I'm side eyeing your DH for not helping you more. Csections are a tough recovery, and he should be ensuring you're safe. I would help if I lived closer.
