Do you ever have one of those days...

Omg I so remember that! I had my only two big fights with my husband then - or I tried, he remained calm and un passionate. One was about WAlmart and one about Hitler. I remember reading about the sweat shops and getting so pissed. Much more then usual, so I called my poor husband up to ask if he would use a sweat shop given the chance and he said "I don't know" and I was like you must have some idea. "Maybe if it would save some money" he finally admitted, I pounced on that but his reply was - well the governments of those countries allow it - besides what's the exchange rate?I hated my husband's answers to my 'I don't think I can take this" about my migraines and nausea - he's say, trying to be helpful, millions of other women have, you can too. lol. He tried. He even cooked when not on TDY. And when I was put on bedrest my last two weeks he helped with the house. And he always brought my favourite foods home when he went shopping or he'd go across town for pad thai.

I remember those days. I had - or tried to have - my only arguments with my husband - one was about Walmart and sweatshops and one about hitler. Everything irritated me. Including his answers to my comments about my migraines and nausea - he thought he was being helpful by saying, " millions of other women do it, you can do it too." But it irritated the heck out of me. He was very helpful though - I got too nauseaous shopping - at WAlmart - with all the smells - so he'd go and bring back yummy stuff. Or if I got a craving he'd go 'cross town to get Pad Thai.

Sorry the reason this was posted twice is because I got a message from mylot saying that my message didn't go through.

And regarding waking up on the wrong side of the bed, I have to have one every week! *laughs*

That does sound annoying. So on the days you wake up on the wrong side of the bed - the days when things are more irritating - is the crepe bandage unwinding even more annoying? BTW I hope your ankle gets better soon - did the doctor say what's wrong with it?

Zorrogirl - I can totally understand. You don't have the same mobility, you're likely in pain and maybe itchy underneath the casts or splints. Plus if the doctor has you on pain killers that can make you grumpy too. What happenend?

Oh that's so frustrating. I remember in my single days, taking days off of work for someone to hook up something - phone, cable, or to fix something and they call me at the end of the day to say oops - sorry - we'll just have to come tomm. That's just fine but can you pay me my lost wages for the day? I heard that the Post Office had to hire more people over the holidays. I hope that's why my mother in laws package didn't come - over ten days ago she sent a package with a three day guaranteed delivery. She insured it but only up to a hundred dollars and she put more then that in there. Plus she spent a lot of time and effort shopping for presents for the baby. So its not just the money but the time that went into it and the thought. Frustrating. I can certainly understand why your day was frustrating - so do you have to wait around tomm too?
