Shit My Husband Does

I am going to start this by saying that I truly love my husband and he spoils me like crazy.  But having said that I am now going to say that he does some things that make me absolutely...


 BUG FUCK CRAZY..
(thanks KMM for the saying)

I was going to call this stupid shit my husband does then I thought well maybe annoying shit my husband does and since I couldn't decide I settled for Shit period.  As anyone who has been married for any amount of time or has even lived with someone for a while can attest to share a living space with another person is trying to say the least.  I have had roommates before that did things that really pushed some of my buttons but the hubs pushes them and then stands on them and then jumps up and down on them.

There are MANY things but I am going to list the hot ticket items here, you see it has been one of those weeks and I need to vent and I figured some of you out there would like to know you are not alone.

1.

He always makes me late....ALWAYS.
And not only does he make me late he then tries to blame it on me because he says my information about when I needed to leave or be to said place was unclear....hmmm let me think "I need to be there by 4:30" .........doesn't seem unclear.  I am speaking his native tongue..English. I have told him MANY times.  But it never fails his arrives so late that I am late and have at time had to cancel whatever it was I was going to.
By the way his new thing with this is that I now not only have to tell him verbally, I have to text and email him my information....excuse me but are you freakin kidding me.
Example...Today I had a minor procedure at dr, we have been talking about it and the appointment for 2 months, last night I said,"So are you going to drop me off at Dr and then go to work until I am done?"  He proceeded to look at me with this blank stare having NO idea what I was talking about and then started bitching because he never got an email about it.

GOLF

Need I say more,not if you live with someone who plays.
I am a golf widow and my kids are golf orphans.

At first it was once a month, then every weekend and now every weekend and one night during the week. Now if it was just us I probably wouldn't care that much but now that we have kids, kids who say they hate golf..hint hint you are gone to much. It really gripes my ass, mostly because this came out of his mouth "I work all week so I DESERVE to go out and golf and hang out with my friends on the weekend", now I should also say I am a stay at home mom,   and so when I say well I work all week too he just looks at me.  I also want to point out that going to work is all he does, I do EVERYTHING else. I take care of kids, house, animals, cars, bill ect. 

That's me at Kindergarten graduation...notice he is not there.  The next day I was at the zoo with the oldest boy and our youngest in tow.

Now I love having the privilege of being able to be home with my kids, but I wish the amount of work that goes into it was appreciated more.  When we both worked we split everything but now since I am home I do it all.

WHY CAN"T YOU PAY ATTENTION!!!

OK, so I get it, we can all tune people out but my hubs is horrible about this and with his iphone he is worse than he ever was before. I will be talking to him and I am not talking about chit chat it can be important stuff and as soon as I see his eyes drifting then I know he is not hearing a word I am saying and if I don't happen to notice then I have to say it over and sometimes I end up repeating myself so many times I am so pissed off I don't want to be in the same room with him any longer.

Now I did start with how much I love him and I will end with it also but good God he makes me nuts;)

More when he pisses me off again....so it shouldn't be long

Time for some Thrilling Heroics

There is a nation out in space that is full of Browncoats.  Browncoats are those who LOVE the series Firefly and the movie it spawned Serenity.

I am a Browncoat.

The moment I watched the first episode I fell in love.  I loved the wit and the dialogue.  I loved that it was a space western. I grew up watching old black and white westerns on Sunday with my mom and have always loved the genre.  And of course my other love was science fiction...and this was the best of both worlds.

People so fell in love with this show that they were crushed when it was cancelled after one season and thru the efforts of the fans Joss Wedon the creator was able to eventually make a movie, Serenity finished the story for us fans but we are still hungry for more.

Each character was special starting with Captain Mal Reynolds, played by the wonderful Nathan Fillon. He was emotionally challenged on the outside but had a warm squishy center and you could tell how much he cared for his crew. He was always saying some awesome line that the fans have taken to quoting like..

Nathan loved the Mal character so much it was also carried over for one brief glimpse in Castle.

Zoe is second in command and she is as much a heroine as Mal is a hero.  Anything the men can do so can she and maybe better. She is loyal and faithful. And it is thru her strength that she leads in the captains absence.  She loves her husband and her friends.  She follows until she needs to lead.  She negotiates, mediates and in general leads in a quiet strong way.  And she has a subtle humor to her.

Zoë: You sanguine about the kind of reception we're up to receive on an Alliance ship, Cap?
Mal: Absolutely. What's "sanguine" mean?
Zoë: "Sanguine." Hopeful. Plus, point of interest, it also means "bloody."
Mal: Well, that pretty much covers all the options, don't it? 

My next character that I love is Jayne. 

Although often a strict mercenary, Jayne had his own code of honor. He loved his momma, we know this cause he sent her money all the time and wore the hat she sent him proudly. 

Even when he had a blunt and sometimes harsh attitude toward everyone we know for certain he care about Kaylee, we saw him huddling by the window of the infirmary to see if Kaylee survived a gun shot operation 

Jayne kept a huge arsenal in his bunk on Serenity. He had named his favorite and most powerful gun, a Callahan full-bore auto lock with customized trigger double cartridge thorough gauge that he called Vera(which used to be my nickname). 

Jayne is complex because he cares what the other members of the crew think of him.  He is truly scared of River. And he is loved by the people of Canton.

And my final love is Wash. He is the pilot of Serenity and married to Zoe.  As a pilot he is either chaotic or Zen. He is a leaf on the wind. He is unassuming and easy-going. He likes dinosaurs.  He loves his wife and has a quirky sense of humor.

Hoban “Wash” Washburne playing with a toy dinosaur: Yes. Yes. This is a fertile land and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land! And we will call it... this land!
Wash as T-Rex: I think we should call it your grave!
Wash as the other dinosaur: Ah! Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!
Wash as T-Rex: Ha ha ha! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die!
Wash as the other dinosaur: Oh no god! Oh, dear God in heaven!

So if you haven't had the pleasure of a little show called Firefly go find it on Netflix...you'll like it I promise;)
