Tie. Quan. Doh!

I’ll save you the boring shit that has been my life for the past several weeks. After Jenn emailed me a few days (ok, if we’re going to be truthful and shit, it was more like a week) ago asking if I was alive or dead, I realized that it’s been a shitload of time (again) since I bloooooogged.

Honestly? I’m feeling shit-ish and depressed and bitchier-than-thou lately. I’m healthy now, but my house looks like fecking animals took over and my Hubs looks at me like I’ve grown a pair of antennae from my nostrils when I ask him to lift a fecking finger and help out. Gads. I’m seriously considering getting a job just for the purpose of paying someone else to clean this shit hole.

Case in point? There are wrappers from Halloween chocolates under a table in my family room. Little Man doesn’t eat Halloween chocolate (it may have been contaminated, you see) and I am more than capable of putting my wrappers in the gar-baw-ge.

This leaves but one culprit. The Hubs. Fecker.

I mean, gaw-wed. The guy is a gem in so many ways, but he’s a pig’s arse when it comes to cleaning up after himself. I almost went postal on him yesterday. He looked at me with the “Are you pms’ing again?”  question in his eyes. KILL. KILL. KILL. Oh, and yes. I am. Whose business is that exactly, anyway? Postal. Epic-ly postal.

Fecker.

Anyway, I’m buying a new dishwasher as a result of my rants yesterday. So see? It does  pay to whine and bitch and throw shit around complain.

Or something.

Tae Kwon Do. We read in several places over the past couple of years that martial arts are very good for kids like Little Man (i.e. with Sensory Processing Disorder and/or OCD). Who knew? Sometimes “they” are right. We had Little Man try out a couple of classes at a local club in July and he’s loved it (Perhaps obsessively, but who’s counting? Or checking? Get it? Counting? Checking? OCD? Oh, never mind.) ever since! In fact, we’re at the club 4-5 days every week. He loves it that  much.

Seriassly, doooooods. If you’ve read that it might be good for your kid, it probably would be good. We can’t get over the change in LM’s confidence and physically fitness and coordination since he started. He’s already advanced in rank and just today his instructor told us he would like LM to try the class with slightly older kids in it. It’s that  good for him.

Anyhoo, I’m off to bitch at Hubs some more. I’m on a bit of a roll here. Does anyone know how many calories I can burn if I throw approximately 3 dinner plates, 2 water glasses and a pair of mislaid sunglasses, all at the speed of light and one right after the other? You know, just for the sake of conversation???

Kia

P.S. Remind me to call my doc. I think I need my meds adjusted. Just a thought.

P.P.S. Here’s a Little Man-ism for you. In the car, driving home from school one day last week, LM made a suggestion: “Mommy, I think we should put a big sign up on the outside of our house that says, “(Insert LM’s real name) lives here.”" I asked why. Duh. He replied, “so that when I’m rich and famous people will know where to come when they want my autograph.” Bah. Dum. Dum.

  1. YAY!!!!!! Master, IT lives!!! Thank God I am getting even chunkier from hanging out at every Swiss Chalet in the free Canadian Word looking for you.

    Ok first Hubs chocolate wrappers I suggest putting them in his pillowcase as I did with First Husband (aka Cheater Dickwad) dirty underwear after he neglected to put them in the hamper despite repeated nagging.

    OH and death wish asking if you have PMS.

    OO new kitchen appliances??? Not as good as a new Coach bag but hey still it’s shopping.

    Yay for better coordination and self esteem for LM. Maybe you can hire him to kick Hubs ass? Yes??

    Oh and can I have LM’s autograph??? Thanks.

    Don’t desert me again.

    Hugs and Kisses and Shit!

  2. those empty wrappers? are mine, EVERYWHERE in the house not including the side of my bed. including the wadded up tissues haphazardly thrown at the side because I’m a fat, lazy, bitch!

    wait, can I cuss here?

  3. Right on for the tae kwon do! Glad it’s going so well. And of course he’s going to be famous. I’m not surprised that he’s planning for it now. :)

    Enjoy the new dishwasher!

  4. You’re alive! Halle-freakin-lujah or some shit :) I am SO happy to hear that LM has found a new hobby that he loves that’s good for him! I’m doing the woot-woot dance over here, in case you were wondering ;)

    Can’t help you with the hub thing. The only time MINE ever offers to help is when he’s invited someone over in the middle of the week after work and I have told him if he wants them to think we’re civil, he better plan on cleaning with me. Like tonight. So yeah, my house is semi clean right now. Go me.

  5. Glad to see you’re still alive and bitching, I mean, kicking.

    I’m so happy the Tae Kwan Do is helping LM. That’s awesome, it’s also nice to know that someday he can totally kick some ass on your behalf should the need arise. ;)

    My husband is super too. Except him and housework, they’re not even on the same continent.

  6. I have been thinking about you lately, but whenever I sit down to shoot off an email, I get distracted by all the junk mail in my inbox. I swear I am ADHD.

    Anyway, I have been thinking about martial arts for Danny but have been reluctant because of the noise. Good to know LM likes it.

    And I love his saying that people will want to know where he lives. Funny.

    And as for the calorie burn of throwing things at husband? I think it would at least be about 1,000. I mean you do get your heart rate up when you’re pissed, right? I know I do.

  7. Sorry to hear you’re feeling depressed and bitchy. But it sounds productive – new dishwasher! I hope you feel better soon and that your bitching gets you more stuff. : )

  8. Yay, you’re back! And yay, new dishwasher! I LOVE getting new appliances, it’s like a new toy, sort of. Almost better than buying new clothes, as you don’t have to get depressed trying things on and moving past the size 0 and 1 (seriously?? If you’re that size, go shop in a children’s store!!) to the other end of the rack.
    That’s so great about the martial arts. And I have to agree with the person who said to hire LM to kick hubs ass!!
