A New Regime Is In Place

February 19, 2010 by

Last night I talked to Melinda and the kids via Skype and while I was talking to Shaun I realized something. My house is currently a one parent household. Melinda is in charge of everything like breakfast, getting the kids off the school, homework, dinner, baths and bed time. That is probably just a third of what she has going on in any given day and I know it’s hard.

Between Shaun and Shae Melinda has her hands full. Shaun alone will drive you to the brink of insanity. I realized tonight that I have zero input as to what goes on in the house which is hard because I am use to helping make decisions and helping to keep the house running. I wish I was able to help Melinda and contribute more but I am not able to.

It was funny talking to Melinda last tonight because she said the house has been under a new regime this week and it is an adjustment to the kids especially Shaun. Shaun is use to coming to me for stuff and usually getting what he wants because he knows I am a sucker. Not anymore, there is a new sheriff in town and that is not a bad thing at all.

Melinda is a GREAT mother, provider and caretaker and I do not know what I would do without her. The kids should be happy they have her there in charge. I know I am. I just wish I was able to help her daily to alleviate some stress.

 




Because I have a reason to complain

December 3, 2009 by

I’m taking a moment to defend myself against the accusations from Rob about harassing him about his driving. Rob is a good driver and he is correct in saying he’s never gotten into an accident BUT he does this little things to annoy me when he drives.

• He’s nosy. He wants to look at EVERY car that we pass or passes us. I’m not talking a quick glance either; he will turn his head just to see the what the driver looks like and what they were doing. It’s great when the driver is unattractive or doing something like picking their nose, then I get an update on that.

• He’s got road rage. We all have it to a degree but he feels the need to then tailgate then pass that car and again check them out and usually give them the finger.
• He’s distracted by the kids. Our kids are funny, they are always doing something that makes us laugh. Rob thinks its ok to turn around and watch whatever they are doing in the back of the car.

• He loves me too much.  His main objective in life is to annoy me as much as possible. He likes to stare at me knowing I’m going to yell at him. His response is usually, “but you are just so beautiful”; I call “bullsh!t. Keep your eyes on the road and admire me later.
• He’s obsessed with his Blackberry. I admit I am too but I don’t usually drive so I can spend a car ride checking email, twitter or playing a game. Unless the phone is ringing there is NO reason Rob should be checking his Blackberry every 5 minutes. Wait, he not only checks it he insists on reading whatever communication has come through.

So there. I’m not the bad guy Rob made me out to be, my complaints are justified, he’s a distracted driver not a bad driver.
