Trying to Sleep in the Bed I Made

TAKE OUT THE FREAKING GARBAGE!!

I have been contemplating starting a blog for a while now. I've been a lurker of other blogs for awhile and I wonder if I will have interesting things to say.

It seems like I think most about starting a blog when I am pissed off at my husband. So like every day!

Here's today's gripe. I work all day, come home, fix dinner, do homework with the kid, a load of laundry maybe. He comes home has a beer, a hot meal, and watches TV until bedtime. What's wrong with this picture. You know tomorrow is trash day. I know tomorrow is trash day. Why is it that the trash does not go out until I start bitching about it? And then you want to come back in the house and have an attitude with me for nagging. What the hell?!?!?!

Am I nagging when dinner is hot on the stove when you get home? Am I nagging when you always find a clean towel and wash cloth in the bathroom when you want to shower? Am I nagging when ...okay you get the point.

Okay, so I married him....was he like this before I married him? YES! Did I think things would change when we got married? Not really?? So why did I marry him? Today I really don't know..it seemed like a good idea at the time. Right now I am just trying to sleep in the bed I made.

Thanks for stopping by my blog! Welcome to the club!

Well I think us ladies marry for many reasons, mostly so we know hs azz is legally required to be there....but more importantly, financial security, procration, handy man tool-fix-it projects, and to leave my towels on the floor for the maid to have her job security....LOL ok JK about the last one!

Thanks superstar... I love your blog.

By the way, I think I married for the life insurance! One of these days he's bound to prove his "worth".

I skipped around before reading the post properly, so I thought you were going to say that, since you do everything, he takes out the trash w/out complaint.

This is the kind of thing that makes me resolve to always live alone.

I used to wonder about the trash thing when I was living with ex-hubby. There were times when I thought stuff should have been done, and it wasn't. I wasn't much of a nag, though. But, I was willing to suffer a little until he got the point. So, I'd leave the trash and let it pile up.

Turns out he doesn't like the smell of stinky trash smacking him in the face when he walks through the door.

Never had that problem again.

You'd be surprised how far passive aggression will get you when nagging has run its course.
