I agree with the Vday hype, kind of like all of the other holidays that
people expect to receive something from.
My wife is very good with people which is why she makes the big bucks. She
knows it, her bosses know it, and I tell people all the time
rant on.......
Athletic - not!
Hiring a house keeper? Que? and they do a shitty job and it pisses both of
us off that we're paying to have the job done right and they usually don't
have a clue as to how to clean anything.
Chocolates or anything fattening gets me in trouble.
She's a vegetarian so eating out is always an adventure, not usually good.
Victoria's Secret? I gave up on buying things she would never wear. ****,
they looked comfortable to me.....<g>.
rant off.
What my wife wants is to be a stay at home mom. I can't give that to her as
she makes 3-4 times what I do. I suppose if we wanted to change our
lifestyles a lot it would work. She wants the family to spend a lot of time
together but none of us can agree on what to do. I'm the outdoor type and
though my wife loves the outdoors she is completely helpless when left
alone. She just doesn't get it.....like I don't get business and
communication. If you're an ass, I'll tell you, which is why I don't make
the big bucks.
I took the family snow skiing/boarding Sunday and it was like pulling teeth
to convince my kids to go....???? Then they both got sick on the mountain
which was no bodies fault but it sure screwed up the family fun.
I told the kids (two girls) we were going to Idaho and camping out in August
and they just moaned.
and they're not even teens yet
save me!
