« Busting seams • Main • Notta lotta change » October 16, 2006Wow still 185I’m surprised that I’m not less considering all the work that I’ve been doing. Maybe it’s the stress that is keeping it on (along with the sizable meals *doh*). I feel sad that I haven’t had the energy to post here lately. I’ve been working frantically to get my house painted so that we can move in. I’ve put in three all-nighters last week to try and get stuff done. Pulling all-nighters and working at least a 40 hour week don’t mix. I’m dead tired. I don’t know how to describe my husband’s work ethic or ability. It appears he has none. For some reason he’s never able to get anything done. And he refuses to get a job. So I’ve had to do most everything. When it comes to him I just don’t know what to think. Right now I can’t imagine how this is going to get done. Looking at my last post I suppose I’ve jinxed those good thoughts because now I’m feeling pretty demoralized. I managed to screw up my tile job, although not irreparably, it’s going to take a lot of work to make it right. I left too much grout on the surface and now I’m going to have a hell of a time getting it off. It just one obstacle after another and now the weekends are starting to get busy in the midst of upcoming holidays. I’m screwed. Also I miss my daughter. If I’m not careful she’s going to start calling my mom and dad, ‘mom’ and ‘dad’. I need to come up with a term for that feeling I get where I want to crawl in to bed and sleep until it’s all over, like it’s just a bad dream. This would sure make it easier to reference every other post. Posted by hopeful @ October 16, 2006 6:31 PM CommentsYeah P.Q. I'll call it dep-haustion! I think I'm married to your dad. Is he 31 years old? ;-) My husband is busy on message boards about video games. He's a turbo-graphics obsessive. He collects scans of old turbo graphics magazines, etc. He's nuts.

Didn't you guys just buy a house? How were able to do that without him working? I'm sorry you're stressed. Tell your husband to grow up. You'd think he'd feel ashamed with his wife doing everything? Whenever my husband gets "lazy" (but at he does have a job) my brother-in-law says Posted by: Jeanne at October 26, 2006 1:20 PM
Hey Jeanne, This is the second house I bought by myself. My husband's name has never even been on the title. I've supported him for the past 7 years or so. First while he was in graduate school and then while he was the stay at home dad. I used to be proud of the fact I could do this. Now I think I'm just stupid and being taken advantage of. If he were a team player it would be fine, but he's not. Now I'm laying down the law. He has a deadline for getting a job or getting out. Posted by: hopefulloser at October 27, 2006 10:45 AM

Perhaps, depression? Or maybe exhaustion.
What's your husband do all day if he's not working or helping you? He sort of sounds like my dad in some ways. My mom always ended up doing all the housework and mowing the lawn etc. while he played on his computer in the basement.
