Testes...Testes...1-2?

crfische

Anyone around?

We're getting downpoured on, Scott's working, the house is clean, laundry is done, and I don't wanna watch a movie just yet.

I'm drinking my last beer from my Canadians which is bitter sweet.

ANYONE HERE?

I am here for now - we're supposed to be going for a bike ride when H gets home from work, but it looks like it's going to rain here too.  

I've been cleaning all day - bathrooms.  I hate cleaning bathrooms.  I wish a little bathroom cleaning gnome would come by while I'm at work and clean for me.

I'm baking a pie and trying to upload a stupid video on facebook.

Cleaning is stupid.

Facebook is stupid when it comes to video uploading.

Little People, big world? Well, that's just awesome.

Um, I don't care much about college football, so...GO HOKIES!!!

I'm here. Just woke up and trying to clear the fuzzies from my brain.  It's about 7 AM here.

Hoping that at least one of the "real" jobs I applied for on Sunday calls me back today.

And Thursday is our 1 yr Anniversary. H says he has something planned, but we need to BE there by 5:30 AM?!  He really knows how to test the love.

crfische

I KNOW! I wanna watch it!

I feel like it's been a really long day because we golfed at 7:50am this morning, and it's like...super down pouring out, so it's dark out, even though it's only 4. It feels like bedtime.

Hi! I'm here. We've been painting MIL's utility room and she is being a slave driver about it. She volunteered us to do it, and then she just said about 5 minutes ago, "You guys are doing a horrible job!!" And I looked at her dumbfounded when I realized she was serious. Lady, we are taking our day off from school and work to paint your damn utility room, you've got a lot of nerve.

I'm so goddamn annoyed right now, it's ridiculous.  My knees are killing me and they're stiff and sore.  Stupid glucosamine is apparently not doing anything.

AmoroAgain

Oh!  But bonus, I'm not drinking 40% alcohol tonight! WOO! lol

Dudley someone on here once said that their grandfather told them to move at least 500 miles away from family for the first year of marriage.

After our first year being a lot more than 500 miles, I have to say I agree with that grandfather.  We had to learn to rely on each other and families had to learn that just because we were married, didn't mean our life stopped.  We were able to develop our own traditions and "rhythms" to life..

I HATE cleaning.  Hate it.  H grew up with sloppy parents, so a little mess doesn't really bother him, but it drives me crazy.  I can not believe how a house with 2 adults gets so messy.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Testes...Testes...1-2? : Ugh, my BIL was like that this summer. We were on vacation with his parents when he decided that 1 week later, he was moving out. Fine. DH & I drove 4 hours from our home to help him move, and he was such a PITA during the whole day. And then he didn't even thank us for coming, or for our help. Move yourself next time.
Posted by mrs.jesse[/QUOTE]

That sucks too =/ So far she hasn't thanked us either, she followed it up with.. "Well when you finish in there, next you're painting the family room because the last time it was done, it was done badly too. So it needs to be fixed and redone." My husband painted that room about 4 years ago. Huge slap in the face. I definitely LOST in the MIL category.

I did some cleaning, did some cross stitch (Christmas stockings for our ouse for FSIL and FDIL and stocking for DD and FSIL for their house and DS and FDIL for their house - 6 altogether. )

Did some laundry, stalked DD's wedding registry and  have ribs going on the grill, baked potatoes almost ready to go with them. Need to make salad and garlic bread.

I'm here!  Trying to do some homework though.  Kate Plus 8 is on tonight and I think the kids are adorable so I plan on watching even though Kate has turned into a hoarrr.

oh - and that was my grandpa. A wise man from SW Illinios (I live in Ohio) that I still miss very very much.

Slept it off, no problem! :)

skippy, your grandpa was a very wise man. 

It's really nice that we make our own holiday traditions instead of just being absorbed into whatever the family was planning for us.  When we moved backk to OZ one of the first questions we got was "so decide, are you coming back here for xmas or are we going out there?"  uhm, when WE decide what WE'RE doing, we'll get back to you...

emilyinchile

Dudley, why exactly are you guys doing this? She sounds like a real charmer.

Posted by mrs.jesse[/QUOTE]

No kidding. I don't mind helping out every once in a while, but she expects it ALL the time. We made plans to go to Indy yesterday just to get away for a while and do something different. On Saturday, she calls us and askes what we were planning to do on Sunday. So we told her we had plans to go to Indy to shop, get dinner etc. She thens proceeds with, "Well that's too bad because I have stuff here for you to do." Uhh excuse me?  DH then said, " Nope. We don't. We are going to Indy. Sorry." I was so proud of him for standing up to her. She treats him like a child. I can't stand it.

AmoroAgain

So uh, Fische.  Got testes on the brain?

[Deleted User]

I'm here. Just got out of the shower. Been lazy all day and yesterday, too. Got all the cleaning and laundry done Saturday. Not much to do here with no friends or family, H and I are so ready to GTFO of here. We hate it that much. I pray for something to open up in his field back home.

Although it sucks being so far away from our friends and family, I think it is actually a good thing that we are away from both sets of parents while we start our new life togehter. But I know as soon as H project is done at work this coming spring, we are ready to move back.

aMrsin09

Dudley, was she like this with H before you got married and now you're getting sucked in too by association?  Or is this new since the wedding?

Posted by emilyinchile[/QUOTE]

Oh trust me, she is! DH feels obligated to do it. My FIL left her because of how she is, and my BIL moved away, so my DH is really the only one that lives nearby that can help her out at times. But she was raised to expect your children to cater to you because thats how DH's grandparents are too. So she treats DH like her servant rather than her son. DH doesn't like to make waves and he just replies with, "I'm just used to it." His backbone has definitely gotten a lot better when it comes to standing up to her though.

Posted by aMrsin09[/QUOTE]

She has always been like this. I will never forget the time before we lived together and we were hanging out at her house with a few friends. Well she decides to go to bed, and we are left in the family room to watch a movie. We all of sudden hear her calling my H's name from her bedroom. She wasn't yelling like she was in trouble, it was more like she wanted to ask him a question. So she yells a few more times, and DH finally goes back there to see what she wants. She was laying down and she asked him to turn the light off. She yelled for 10 minutes just for him to turn the light off.
