SO FREAKIN P'D OFF!!!

Most of you know I'm stuck at home Mon-Fri because we only have one car running right now, my Camaro is sitting at my parents' house still since we haven't had the money to 1) get it fixed and 2) fly down to get it...

WELL, last night Elijah went to sleep at 8, he woke up at 4 am, which is actually good, BUT I could have drove DH to PT this morning, came home and had the car ALL DAY!!! He gave me about five excuses as to why I couldn't take the car, all of which had a simple solution, and argued with me about it until he had to leave, and then said I have to go right now or I'll be late. I didn't know what time he had to leave, it was about 10 minutes before he had to go that I said something about taking the car today, and I could have had a D@MN bra on and Elijah dressed, with a sippy cup ready in five minutes MAX...so we had PLENTY of time to get ready, and he could have just said "no you don't have to wait for me at pt to take me to the office after" and I would have been ready to go before he was. SO...since DH was a d*uche bag this morning, Elijah screamed his little head off when daddy left, and mommy and Elijah are stuck at home AGAIN...What really gets me is DH said "can we do this another time?" WHEN THE H-LL IS ELIJAH UP THIS EARLY TO TAKE YOU TO PT??? He's not normally up before 7 and that's an hour an a half PAST when DH has to leave. I AM SO P!SSED!!! I HATE having to be stuck at home all week, and we FINALLY get a chance to NOT have to sit home all day...FINALLY...it's hormones for sure, but I'm freaking in tears over this...I mean seriously...for once I could have done whatever I wanted during the day while he was at work, taken Elijah to the park, gone to the store, WHATEVER I WANTED!!! And DH's biggest excuses were...he doesn't want to have to wait for me to pick him up, he likes to go to the park for lunch (HE goes to the park EVERYDAY for lunch, I'm more than sure Elijah would just HATE to go to the park to meet daddy for lunch...), and then he said "I like to leave things I need in the car" WELL TAKE THEM IN WITH YOU FOR ONCE!!!

All you SAHMs without a vehicle to drive, I'm sure you know EXACTLY how I feel right now...I sent him two text messages after he left telling him in a NOT polite way that he was NOT nice and not to expect anything from me or call when he's on his way home because I don't care...and I told him it wasn't that he had to leave right when I first asked about it, he didn't want me to drive him and have the car. UUUUUUUGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!! I could seriously scream out loud right now, and would if it wouldn't freak out Elijah....

Reading this makes me realize how lucky I am with my DH. My baby is still only a few weeks old, but I was also desperate to get out of the house when I was pregnant and feeling ok. It's so boring to sit around the house alone all day, everyday. My situation was a little different though. I didn't (still don't :/ ) have a license, so I had to rely on him to drive me around. Even after working all day he was still nice enough to take me out whenever I asked, even if we just drove around and then came home. Now that we have Kylie it's a little harder because it's such a hassle to load her up and go as well, so it doesn't bother me quite as much yet to stay home all day.

And I giggled because I DO know exactly how you feel!!! And my husband has also had these stupid moments where I can't have the car and other times he's fine with it. I'd sit down with DH. They do NOT get it. They do not understand how difficult it is to stay cooped up in your house day-in and day-out with a baby or toddler and Sesame Street. You feel like you're going mad.

My advice to you- take the car when he gets home and leave baby with him for a bit. Take a book to Starbucks and just relax for an hour!

OMG!!!! DH is a Marine, I think that explains plenty. On top of us having to *get* a car, Im the only one putting money aside to save for the car, paying the bills and dittying out allowance. I dont work but 5.5 hours a week. He's in training in Cherry Point.

Obviously today was payday so I got my errands done that needed to be done. Then I went to get my nails done because that was part of my allowance fund. He got pissed because I got a full set and paid thirty bucks for it. 25 plus 5 tip. that's reasonable in my book. he got pissed at me and hung up the phone telling me i wasted money. how so when he goes and buys himself new clothes all the dang time...

I called him back and said(rather yelled)

"IM PREGNANT! I DON'T FEEL PRETTY RIGHT NOW BECAUSE MY BODY IS BEING RETARDED. I FEEL LIKE A HOUSE AND SLOW AND MORE CLUMSY THAN NORMAL. I WANTED TO GET MY NAILS DONE BECAUSE I DESERVE TO GET MY NAILS DONE. YOU AREN'T THROWING UP EVERY 10 MINUTES, I AM. NAILS MAKE ME FEEL PRETTY. NOW UNLESS YOU WANT YOUR COLLEAGUES TO CALL ME COYOTE UGLY, I SUGGEST YOU SHUT UP AND LET ME DO MY NAILS EVERY NOW AND THEN." click

i always swear guys have periods..in fact i read some new study that suggests they go through something similar to a period (just w/out the bleeding out their vagjj..haaa wouldn't doubt it)

anways if *i* were you, i'd wait till he got home, then leave elijah with him for some "daddy son bonding time" and go out. not out out, you know to a bar or whatever; but go shopping. take some  time for yourself...go get icrecream, dinner, whatever. even if its just window shopping. find something to keep you out the whole entire evening. tell him HE can take care of elijah and be stuck in the house by himself without another adult to talk to. maybe yall can trade the craziness...tell him you need tampons, yeast medicine, anti itch cream, the whole nine yards....and you'll just get it when you get home, and then stay out. keep sending him texts like im not gonna be home yet gotta go here, oh wait, found another errand i need to run, hmmmm just drove across the cutest little icrecream place i think i'll pick some up and eat it in the park.. HA!!

I think men should experience Birth and Periods!!
Men think they can buy bra's but never the right type, the right size maybe, but some like padding underwire. shape whatever, men think bras are bras, Underwear- sexy underwear then moan at you if you wear it randomly and not for them!! Sex on the brain hahaha.

LOL. You guys crack me up!!!

I really don't think men could handle half the stuff we go through...buying bras, periods...even without the cramps. Men are just big babies! They think they're SOOO tough...HA!

I think you're all three right. I laugh when I see guys trying to act all tough, cause that's exactly what it is...AN ACT!

no the truth is, God was going to give child-bearing to men and then he went "what was I thinking? they can't handle it." so he gave it to us. let's face it. men have no pain tolerance. but I'm fine with that because as much as men freak out over a stubbed toe can you IMAGINE them for 9 months..."the baby just kicked what's wrong?!?!?!? I just threw up am I going to kill the baby from lack of nutrition!?!??!?!"

don't get me wrong I love my husband and he's been busting his butt taking care of me when I've been sick....but not without a HUGE amount of whining and complaining. sorry if I don't have sympathy honey.

Ivy~~~If Elijah's not awake yet, there's no way I'd get up and wake him up, especially at 4 am...I'd much rather have a happy toddler than a grumpy one. We'd be out for about an hour getting him to work, but with Elijah being two years old I really only need to bring him a drink, and just put him in some warm clothes..he's got the jammies with the feet things on them, put him in one of those and he's good. It's not like he'd be getting out of the car. Five minutes before Josh had to leave this morning, I said all we need to be ready is a bra for me and clothes for him...he already had a drink. Basically next to nothing to get ready. Seriously, I think this is the most selfish thing he's done. I thought about sending him a text every hour, on the hour saying he's being an @$$hole, but when I fell asleep it threw off my every hour thing.

If I told Josh I needed vaginal cream, he'd just say he'd get it while he was on his lunch break, or I could get it when he got home.

Poor babies...I hope it's not one of those drag out colds that last FOREVER...

The thing with all this is, I've talked to Josh two or three nights this past week already about him doing what he wants all the time, and staying up because *HE* wants to, and doing things because it makes *HIM* happy...I thought after all that talking, maybe just MAYBE he'd try to act like he gives a rats @$$ about things that make me and Elijah happy, or things we like...not to mention, when the h-ll is Elijah gonna wake up this early again, who knows, I hope he doesn't start making it a habit...it $UCKS...but if he does, getting the car would be a benefit of it.

OH! AND I asked him what's gonna happen when he has a game and I'm working (if I actually get the job) he said "well can you get them to not schedule on Tues/Thurs" (his softball game nights) Um, NO...I can't, you're just gonna have to get over it. I was supposed to get a call back Wed night or yesterday, and never did. Either they are gonna call me or I'm just not gonna work. We have one month left until we can put in for the loan, and after pretending (without Josh knowing) that I wasn't home last night, and watching Josh like it'd be a night when I had to work...I don't really want to, for Elijah's sake...but that's a whole other rant.

Cassandrajane~~~You still get out of the house...even if you do hate your job.

I don't buy myself anything, except make up, once every 5/6 months because I FINALLY run out, I don't wear it very often. I actually have to buy some pants soon because I don't have anything to fit me for winter. So I'll probably buy a pair or two, I don't get out enough to need a lot.

Yeah, Josh is like that...if he gets sick, he's such a baby, but if I get sick, when I rarely do it's usually BAD. I still get up and do what I need to, and take care of Elijah, and get b!tched at for laying down when he's home.

I know the exact feeling. Although DF works nights, he takes the car. BUT...I was once an army wife, and we only had one vehicle, so I was stuck at home in our tiny little apartment ALL DAY! There were times where the ex would let me take the car, but he too had excuses up the wazoo. I don't know if it's a military guy thing or what not, but I know exactly how you feel. When we were stationed at Ft. Hood we lived pretty much 2 minutes from the gates, and another 3 minutes to where his unit would meet "Unit office". But yet he still HAD to have the car with him. Hell we lived in the same apartment complex as his NCO and his NCO could have taken him to work and brought him home, but that was a no go as well. I did get to have the car when he was in the field for 2 weeks, but other than that, me and my older son were stuck at home all day.

Right now I'm kind of in the same situation. DF works nights, has the car from 5pm-5am 4 days a week. I LOVE to go out shopping, or take the kids to the park in the evening after dinner, but I don't get to. DF did suggest that I take him to work and keep the car, so I could drive to his work(5 min away) and visit with him during his breaks, but the only issue with that would be, I would have to be up with all 3 kids ready to go by 5:15am. And I have to be up at 6:30am....to get my oldest ready for school, so I would be DEAD tired, and my son wouldn't get the rest he needs for school. I don't do much during the day alone. I have dizzy spells where I will actually pass out, and DF is terrified something like that would happen, and he wouldn't be able to help me, so I stay at home all day while DF sleeps from 6am-12:30pm. We do go out from 1-3, but it's not the same having to be on a schedule to have fun due to DF's work.

Thankfully, later today he is taking me to do some shopping at walmart for their big baby clearance sale, so that will help me get out of the house for a bit. But it's frustrating. Just hang in there...SAHM's have to sacrifice a lot, and sometimes our SO's forget exactly how much we give up, and they forget that a little appreciation is nice.

Like I was sayin to Cassandra19 on her Journal. well, If a man gets man flu we have to be sympathetic and weight on them and and foot and do everything they want and be there, but we as for a little thing (Like going out, something we wanna do, not their thing) ITS THE END OF THE WORLD! And WE are the selfish ones!!!!

What a jerk...hope he chokes temporarily on his lunch. (not a real choke but I hope he gags on it, LOL). Josh did something like that for awhile...he was like "if you get kahlan up you can have the car" and I kept saying ok but I would wake up in the morning and be like "Ok can you get her bag together while I get dressed and then you can go smoke?" (or something like that...change her diaper, put her in the car...etc) "no I want to go smoke now. this isn't going to work. just go back to bed." grrr. so I just told him to stop acting like he would give me the car because I was getting pissed at waking up only to be told that it was too much trouble. and that was BEFORE Grey was born, so I know that he'd be even whinier about it now.

so sorry that I transmitted my cold via text msg, LOL. It really sucked having to go into surgery with a stuffed nose...they weren't going to have to intubate me, but they decided to because they didn't want me aspirating snot. s uckish. and I THOUGHT the kids had avoided it until Grey woke up sniffly last night.


here's what you do. set your alarm for 10 minutes before Josh gets up on monday. then get up, get dressed, get Elijah up and dressed, and be waiting in the living room when he comes out. Then when he complains just be like "what's taking so long? let's go. I need the car today, I have to go buy vaginal cream." (even though you don't have a yeast infection...is he REALLY going to offer to get it FOR you?) and if he tries to make a big deal just be like "what's the problem? we're ready. you're the one holding us up. come on, let's go. you don't want to be late."

Tabitha~~~I know what you mean, the computer is my time waster! I don't have anything else besides a tv to entertain me, so I pick the computer, and will leave Nick Jr running randomly throughout the day when Elijah's NOT playing in his room...

Flowers? HA! The last time I got those was Valentines Day, and he complained about buying them...I didn't ask for them, he did it all on his own. He's gonna come home and not say a word, which in all honesty is FINE with me. I don't even want to look at him right now.

Cassandrajane~~~At least you do have a job to go to, I literally stay home Mon-Fri. I don't go anywhere, well recently on Tues and Thurs Josh has softball games, I'm not a fan of softball/baseball but I go just because Elijah can get out and run around, and I'm out of the house. About the flowers, read the second paragraph under my reply to Tabitha.

jessmoss626~~~We just moved here not that long ago, well it's been almost four months, but  I haven't been here the entire time. There's not many SAHMs on my street, and I haven't really gotten to know them...I've talked to one lady but she's not the sociable type.

Destani214~~~I don't think it's AF for my DH, I think he's just being a selfish @$$hole.

Ivy~~~Actually, this time I am surprised...Josh has talked about me getting up to take him to PT before, but I had an actual need for the car, like an appointment or something but I haven't done it yet. The only time Elijah and I get out is the weekend, and I'm sure I've told you how difficult it is to get out even when Josh is off...We've got one month until we can put in for our loan, and I swear I might just fly to FL 34+ weeks pregnant, get my Camaro fixed, and drive it back. I'm not even kidding...and it's a standard. (GOD I <3/miss my car!!!)  I wouldn't care if I was driving it around everyday and Josh took the Jeep...I AM GOING IN F'ING SANE! But really, I didn't expect him to be that selfish. I mean, not wanting to wait for me to get there to pick him up, not wanting to waste gas (he didn't have a softball game last night so that gas he would have used would have been what I "wasted" today to get him/meet him for lunch), and the kicker...he likes to go to the park to eat lunch. The same park with the lake and the swings and the playground stuff that Elijah likes so much, you ask??? YES! So he's probably sitting there right now eating his lunch, and I could have been there with him watching Elijah play, and spending time with him. Thanks for wanting to entertain me, I don't call it that, I'm looking forward to catching up now that the room isn't spinning? LOL. I just really wanted to get out...you at least get visitors once in a while. It's me and Elijah Mon-Fri whatever time Elijah wakes up until whatever time after 4 at the earliest that Josh comes home. I answer the phone every time it rings, on purpose and am starting to LIKE talking to sales reps...LOL.

BTW that s*cks that the kiddos woke up screaming...poor little Grey, I hated having to suction Elijah...the ones I tried didn't really work, I usually ended up having to spray the Little Noses stuff in there and then try to suck it out...he didn't get the really runny noses, just congestion. Remember that rant about Josh always having a worse day then me no matter what, well I think you really can top anyone's bad days, LOL. I sent him one extra text telling him I hope he enjoys his lunch at the park, and how I knew Elijah would just HATE to see daddy in the middle of the day AND have to go to the park...He'll probably come home and either not say anything, or not say anything...Yep...that sounds about right, he's not gonna say anything. I don't care today, I don't want to talk to him...I seriously can't believe he was THAT F'ing selfish...In my card he got for our three year anniversary...he said in it he knows how hard it is for me to stay at home so much, and how much it drives me insane not being able to leave the house, and the ONE opportunity I get...I mean, Elijah's been up early before, but this morning I was WIDE awake and perfectly capable of driving to base and back. Not to mention, he's gotten a ride home a couple days because I had the Jeep at the end of the day for my interview, and when I went to turn in my application, since it had to be done before 2. By the time I got done both days he was calling to say he was on his way home, so I didn't get run around time I had to get home to start cooking...BUT it does make me feel better that Elijah was a happy boy when he woke up at 4 am...he stayed up until 8 and took a nap, I joined him and we *HE* got up at 945 and I laid on the couch until 11, I think you're sharing your colds with me, lol. J/k I'm just a little stuffy, and I have a sinus headache. Anyways, I'll catch you on at some point. I'll be home all day...AGAIN. :) (fake @$$ smile, lol)

oh hey if it makes you feel any better, 4AM was when Kahlan woke up crying from a nightmare, Grey woke up screaming because he was angry that he can't breathe through his nose (we all have colds) and my largest stone shard decided to start trying to pass...DH got pissy because he had to get up to go to work so he went back to bed and I had to cuddle a crying toddler, suction out a screaming in fant and soothe them both back to bed, all while gagging because I was in so much pain.

I'm home without a car once again. of course I'm taking high doses of percocet so that's probably not a bad thing, lol, but I know your pain. Josh has had my van since before Grey was born (actually since the end of June) and I WANT IT BACK @(#)*#@)(%*#)(%*#(%)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so I can relate. he keeps talking about fixing his car, but truthfully I dont think he has a freaking clue what's wrong with it and I don't want to waste the money...but I'm desperate. we're gonna wing it with the next paycheck and hope that he was right. I. Need. My. Van.


I thought yesterday about calling my grandparents (who just moved into a retirement community) and begging them to sell us their 2009 Camry that they only have 7,000 miles on. A girl can dream, right


anyway...*big hugs* I'm so sorry honey...I'll catch you on FB and try to entertain you in a little bit. right now Kahlan and I are dancing to the Elmo song about ears. well she's dancing and I'm gasping in pain..currently passing one of the larger shards. FML.
