OK yes dear readers its been awhile. but between recovering from vacation, dealing with a family crisis and yes, actually getting a job!! I didn't get a chance to sit and get to work on here. But tonight alas, I have something to blog about...men and how god damn annoying they can be!!
You know men always complain " I don't understand women, you never say what you mean, blah blah blah"...but you guys are worse!! You say you want to feel wanted and needed, good for the male ego and such. So how come when we say I want you, I need you, there are a bunch of reasons why you can't be there...then god forbid we say we don't need you at the moment...you run and pout like a little boy who was told he can't get the GI Joe with the kung fu grip!!
Then of course there's the complaint that women never say what they mean...here's why fellas...when we do spell it out for you, you still don't get it. Its kinda like being on the phone with customer service, getting a dude in India who barely speaks english and trying to get your issue resolved...it ain't happening and at some point you're going to throw your phone out the window in frustration. That gentlemen is how it feels when we try to explain our thoughts and feelings and you "don't get it". So of course to avoid getting downright annoyed, we don't say anything. You call it mysterious and confusing...we call it anger management.
Now I'm not gonna leave you guys hanging, I'm going to give you a few tips to avoid emotional meltdowns, pouting, and the word "fine" when talking with your honey. FIrst off if she says she needs you, even if you think its ridiculous, BE THERE!! phone calls and texts do not count for this...when we're feeling low, even irrationally so, we need hugs and kisses. Period, end of discussion. Then we may actually have some sympathy for you when you're pouting because your favorite team lost or something minor goes wrong with the car, the guy next door got better power tools then you...etc, etc...
Secondly, if you don't want to even remotely try to understand our feelings...DON'T ASK!! we would rather silence and a nice foot rub then going nutty because you just don't get it. yes, we are complex creatures, its cause of the damn hormones. If you have issues now what the hell are you gonna do when the one you love hits that lovely place in life call menopause??? cause let me tell ya fellas...it gets waaaaayyyyy worse!
So guys (especially a certain someone who knows who he is!) Just follow these simple steps. you'll be amazed at how easy life can be when you do
 
 So I've been on this family vacation with my future hubby and his two lovely kids. And I know realize why most families take only one vacation a year. Noooo its not the money. ITS BECAUSE IT CAN FREAKIN DRIVE YOU INSANE!!! and this really goes for families who have more then one kid. Now i must say this before I go any further...my stepkids are not bad kids, meaning the kind that you want to smack even though they're not yours. but oh dear lord have i heard whining these past few days...and not the kind that goes well with cheese!!
See when you have more then one kid, you have to be more fair and unbiased then an olympic judge...if there is such a thing! Its a constant stream of well he/she got this, and why did he/she get to pick that, and why are wedoing what he/se wants to do. I could literally spend 12 hours doing one thing that kid A wants to do and 12 hours doing what kid B wants to do and I'd still hear that i'm not fair!!! Then of course you have the I'm hungry/tired/thirsty/my feet hurt constant background noise...and I'm not even counting my hubby on that one!!!
And speaking of my dear hubby, lets talk about the total lack of privacy. I think I have gotten 5 pecks on the lips in the past few days. We can not even sit next to each other without one of the kids getting in the middle. Shoot, I haven't even had time for an adult conversation. And I'm the type of gal who needs to be stimulated (getyour minds out of the gutter I mean intellectually people!!) I honestly think we have more alone time when we're home...and I know there are a ton of parents out there who feel me right now!!
Now is it all bad? No. Its been fun to see the kids react to new things and places. And my little man Brandon is an absolute trip and i'm enjoying the quality time with the kids. But man when I get home I'm all about jumping my hubby and hoping I don't hear I'm tired/hungry/thirsty/you're not fair for a very very very very long time!!!
