today was...........well, let's just say, challenging.  i'm fighting a terrible cold.  we got 3" of snow, a huge branch from the neighbor's tree feel and busted out our guest bedroom window. 
guess who cleaned up the glass, put plastic over the window.  ran to home depot in the snow, had the plywood cut down to size, set up lighting for the tree removal guys who came after dark, secured window with newly cut plywood?  yup me, not my dear husband.  oh well.

double protein coffee
4 slices taylor's ham

thanks for letting me vent.  i feel better     

Oh what a hassle, Noreen!!!! I'm so sorry you'r sick, too. It's always something.....

And his excuse was? I think you should stay in bed Sunday and sniffle miserably that you over did it yesterday. :(

ETA: I've been thinking over this one, Maddie. Are you normally the "doer" at your house because your hubby doesn't jump in a do things? I'm wondering if it just doesn't occur to him that things need to happen within a certain time frame or he thinks he's in the way because you will handle it. I fall into the category that I'm just in the way. My hubby is normally the doer. I've given up because I don't feel I can do things as well as he can. Don't get me wrong, I think he should have dealt with the whole situation but just wondering if it had been my hubby and I what I would have done and why.

you are so right, i am the "doer" in the household. hubs was on the phone w/ the insurance company., so he feels that was his end of the contributing portion.  wth?  should i also tell you the guest bedroom is where he sleeps and he didn't want to board up the window/  again, wfh?
i do have a tendency to take over projects.  still, emptying the trash and recycling before it is over flowing, helping out with some house chores would be nice.
if i ask him to empty the dishwasher, here's what happens... 1. he won't just say "ok", he will tell me that he can't do it. 2. i tried containing my need to get it done now by saying "can you empty the dishwasher sometime today?".  he will answer, "i don't think so".  i leave the d/w knowing he is just being difficult, but noooooo  come three days later the d/w is either still full or he half attempts to empty only a portion of it  and what is put away is put away in the wrong place.
ok,,,,,,,i'm done ranting.  sorry.  bv&e is not the place to air my marital frustrations.  sorry.

No, you can release and rant here if you want. I was just thinking out loud too :)  That's what friends are for, right?

Hi Gina and everyone,
Hope y'all on the east coast aren't freezing and slipping and sliding too much.
My microwave died yesterday morning. Its an over the stove model and has turned into a big hassle to get a new one, so we just got a counter one for now,

B: bacon (12), double protein shake (46)
S: Click protein drink (15), Swiss cheese (10)
L: grilled cheese sandwich with Julian bread (6)
S: few sips protein shake. (got sick again....WTH...don't know what's going on)
D:????
S:????

Vites: behind because of stomach issues.
Fluids: more than enough.
Exercites: laundry

In case anyone is interested...I DO NOT want to go back to work. Oh, well......

Oh, don't tell me that it's a pain to get a new over the stove micro wave. That's what I have....

I think I'd stay away from foods that tend to clump up in your stomach...like the grilled cheese sandwich. I think crispy bacon is fine though.

DH says he still thinks he can fix it given enough time. IDK. I just need my microwave.

Had the same thing happen the day before. I feel hungry but acidy, so take my PPI then a shake and oops. This to shall pass.

dang gail.  it "is" always something.  sorry about your tummy troubles and the blasted microwave.  i too, can't live w/o a micro.
