H and I are not getting along today. I'm grumpy over my BFN and he's being a douche about it.

[mill23]

Morning GKU! I'm working on my quilt and trying to continue the weekend tradition of never leaving my house. We should be working on taxes and talking about our house reno but I just want to quilt and be alone.

[nuggetrn]

DH was up all night working on shelving. Which I knew he was going to be doing. Lol. Its ok though because it meant he got to sleep with me when I got home from work. And he works third tonight So he was just prepping I guess.

He managed to get every closet but the master done. So that is what we get to do this afternoon!! I am so excited

[PirateCat]

W your husky is so handsome. Not scruffy or mangy looking at all!

brisket enjoy your caucus! It is quite different from a regular election and doesn't come around often. We had to stand in line for hours outside in a snowstorm the last time I went to a caucus and it's practically spring this time around.

Lt for empathy. Hope things improve soon.

So many giant hugs kayladawn91!

I'm glad your H got almost all of the shelving done nuggetrn!

[PirateCat]

nuggetrn what a good, hard working husband you have! Yay for closet shelves!

[littlelion]

Dh and ds are napping. I've been picking up here and there though you wouldn't be able to tell.

I'm stuck watching dh's show Highway thru Hell about semi truck towing. It's quite interesting and sad when there's a fatality.

Today I'm heading over to watch my niece in her dance competition. I should be leaving for it soon. That's my excitement for the day

Breaking news: Nancy Reagan died this morning at the age of 94.

[jubilantsquirrel]

Good morning!

MH sold my car yesterday! But we're not getting our new car until next weekend, so we're on our way to the ILs so I can borrow one of their cars for next week and also for breakfast.

[wannabmama]

Sorry kayladawn91 I can empathize, though...I hope your day gets better!

I told MH about my temp drop and he got all pouty and said, "man, it's never good news, it's so depressing" yes, dude, it is, thanks for noticing. He left sort of huffy to go to the gym, which is fine with me...I would've gone with him but couch with a book and puppies in a quiet house is much better.

Not cool. ugh

Woohoo! Went to Burlington and scored 2 dresses and 2 pairs of jeans. DH wanted to go to bestbuy. And I was all "borefest " so I walked over to Burlington. And he was shocked how much I found in a half hour. I don't mess around when it comes to shopping.

maybe I'm having a duh moment but what was he supposed to say? Someone break it down to me.

I guess it's just that I rely on him to be supportive, which might not be fair, but a "I'm sorry, let's hug" would be a lot better...we are both disappointed and sad, but I've handled the bulk of all of this...he barely pays attention most of the time. The comment was one thing, the sulking and puttering around and then leaving in a huff makes it worse. When he responds like that it makes me feel like I've let him down in some way, and he knows that, we've talked about it. It's fine...just makes it hard to talk to him about it, sometimes.

This would be hard for me too. I know it can be difficult for the guys to know how to react, but sulking after you've expressed sadness is just not helping anyone.

gabride2010, Maine is amazing! I've always loved it, but this is my first time doing any mountain stuff here; usually we hang out along the coast. The food and beer are so good and it's just incredibly beautiful during all seasons.

We're on the road home now

[requiressnacks]

So....I got a FB friend request at 3 am last night from the guy I was "seeing" when I met my now husband. (This was like 4 years ago). I didn't accept his request, but according to his public FB stuff he's engaged and getting married in May! So weird.

[hydrangea1019]

Ooooo that'll be nice to have H home after a week away @pineappleoranges. I always hate when H is gone longer than a couple days.

Caucuses are so strange to me PirateCat lol interesting to see, but seem like so much more to-do than anything.

DH just went to take a nap. I'm debating on it, but I've had coffee and s Coke today. I feel like if I take a nap I won't be able to sleep tonight.

This. Especially when I'm in pms territory. I had to ask dh to say nothing, hug it out and wait until after AF to discuss. I give him his time to vent, feel sad, etc but when I am better equipped to handle it.

[BurritosAtEveryMeal]

Happy Sunday ladies!

We did some shopping and went out to lunch. I plan on sitting on the couch the rest of today.

[gabride2010]

I'm sorry wannabmama!

That is strange requiressnacks.

[kayladawn91]

Hugs wannabmama.

H gets angry, I think, when I mention we're out again. He isn't angry at me, but he gets angry that maybe all this is because something is wrong with him. He didn't want to get checked out and uses "maybe we're just stressing out about this and need a break" as why we aren't pregnant. I sort of think it's because he doesn't want anyone confirming something is wrong even though there might not be. But when he uses that excuse, it makes me feel angry that he doesn't care about my opinion and then I immediately feel bad because maybe he just feels awful and this is how he expresses it or maybe he really just needs a break but is afraid to tell me, idk. I've tried talking about it with him but I don't know how to get this resolved.

[RajahMD]

Woot! I got me some crab legs from the grocery store for lunch. I'm so excited. I haven't had crab legs in forever.

[nuggetrn]

So we added 2 more things to the pantry



I may have cried a little. I love it so much. I can't wait to live here.

[RajahMD]

nuggetrn, I'm kinda jealous of your new pantry. Ours is like half the size of that and I'm always wishing we had more space.

The pantry was originally supposed to be a tiny closet that wasn't even in the kitchen. I scrapped that and got rid of a bank of cabinets and counter tops for this pantry instead. The further along we get the happier I am that we made that choice.

Hugs to you too. We went through this, too. MH put off testing for months. And then it showed MFI. It's been very hard...I know he needs the time alone sometimes to process things, but sometimes I need the opposite, so it's hard bc one of us is always frustrated. We have worked hard on keeping open the lines of communication. We aren't perfect at it, but it has helped keep things in perspective and keep little blips along the way just that...as little blips.
Eta: I'd keep trying to talk about it, just gently and over time, it's helped us even if no one conversation "resolved" everything.
And...
Ack, stuck in a box!
