No UO, but I do have an SOS (as per usual)

After several months, my DH has started to see the reasoning behind him putting DS down for his 8pm bedtime (b/c 8pm is also my bedtime due to waking up at 3:45am). And so said plan commenced last night. DD was already down. She's sick and it took me 3x of lots of hugging, snuggling, and singing to get her to sleep (I kind of love sick babies). DD's and DS's bedroom are right next to each other. DH is very loud and he was very loud putting DS down. DD didn't wake up which is crazy.

But then.

DS unplugged his humidifier. So DH goes into his room and explains (even more loudly than before) the purposes and benefits of these machines in technical language but omitting the articles to make it more kid-friendly, I guess. He comes back to bed. I suggest he just say, "Do not touch." He ignores me. DD coughs. Uh oh. Cue crying. DH vehemently denies that he woke her up.

Around 9:09pm, DD is soundly asleep (not too mad b/c - again - I kind of love sick babies). DS is still awake, so I check in with him for a little bit. I go back to bed. I say to DH, "Did you hear what I said to DS?" He says, "No. What'd you say?" I say, "That's kind of the point." Long (long, long, long) pause. Then an angry, "I didn't wake up th---" Then I say, "You took so long to get that." We laugh.

So it ended well. But the point remains - my DH is a loud PITA.

Ahhhh yes, the old "I see what you did there". I love these men. It can take a while, but most are trainable.

When will mine get it??

I am making a recipe about which I am very excited - it's "very involved" on my scale (2 day marination, new marinade and 3 hours in crock pot, food process a third marinade, shred and continue to cook later in the day).

DH "cleaned the kitchen" and threw out my premeasured marinade components, the key component of one of the marinade rounds (coke) and then could only say "I think I might have cleaned up the things you left out last night..." despite 10042357 conversations that I don't "leave things out". I prepare things for the next morning.

So I just "made coke". I made a simple syrup using brown sugar and that's my substitute for the day. But my plug and play approach to this recipe is now shot and I have a really busy work day - lots to do AND something that happens perhaps once every two years - a face to face lunch meeting in the middle of my day. Not the day to f*ck with me, DH.

I made a new recipe. It was pretty tricky, but I actually executed it *quite* well. DS didn't eat it, but not much of a surprise there.

H made fun of how I do the laundry. Again. He is now in charge of washing his own GD underwear.

My MIL (who is currently not speaking to us--long story) texted me this morning for legal advice. I answered her question, which I thought was quite nice of me considering she was extremely nasty to DH at Christmas and hasn't spoken to me in almost two months. I told DH (also a lawyer) my response to her question, and he got snippy with me for the way I responded. Look, if you don't want my legal advice, don't ask for it. He later apologized and acknowledged my response was correct and appropriate, but he nearly wound up sleeping on the couch tonight.
