Have you ever had one of those days with your mate? Before I even get INTO this let me premise by saying that I absolutely LOVE my husband to DEATH...we truly are soul mates and enjoy each other's company completely. OK formalities over with, I will continue...
We had some time together this morning while the kids were in preschool for two hours. I could tell we were on different planets even before I got up this morning. If I were to pinpoint it, it would have been at 2:20am when our son came into our room and stood there babbling some incoherent language about it being time to get up and play the Xbox. Umm ya man, ain't happening. So I wait to see if Dh is going to get up and take him back to his room and he says nothing and pretends he's asleep! uhhh HELLO MISTER??!!! He is closest to the door and should have gotten up (at least I think so..hehe) So with no movements coming from the right side of the bed, I had to get up and deal with it myself. OK not a biggy, but it set the tone for the rest of the day.
So we drop the kids off and head off to my "happy place", Costco. We had to stop off at Walmart on the way to exchange some rain boots which took longer than expected at the customer service counter **jeopardy theme plays** Then we go to the Starbucks drive thru (OH JOY!!) and as I push open the door of the van to go get my wonderful, addictive, hot orgasm in a cup, my DH says "hey could you get me a hot chocolate?" Ok, let me first say the man does not drink coffee. This is a bit of a sore spot with me because it's not because he doesn't LIKE coffee, it's because he has never tried it till now and why start at the tender age of 42? It's not like the Big Mac with heaving mayo and deep fried fries are going to be better for him @@ Anyways, over the last few months he has been telling me how awful the hot chocolates are at Starbucks and over priced, yadda yadda but now he wants me to get him one on my special Starbucks card that my boss gave me for Easter?? uhhhh....really had to dig deep for that one....REALLY.

So we then go over quickly to this store I wanted to check out that just opened here called The Shoe Warehouse that sells clothes as well as really nice shoes. Dh says he will stay in the car...that's just FINE! So he says "be good" as I get out and I just GLARED at him and headed for the door with my Visa card bookmarked in between my index finger and thumb. Well I am in the store not more than 1 minute and low and behold who enters the store but my beloved. No doubt he is here to make sure I do not blow our life savings on shoes in the five minutes I have before Costco. So I look around for a bit and head for the door. We then moved onto Home Depot where the PDA's (Public Displays of Affection) continued to be non existent and finally Costco!!
As we are pulling into Costco, I look at my watch and we have a 15 min MAX time limit in order to get back and pick the kids up from preschool. So I tell DH this and BOLT out of the van and start power walking my way to the front door hoping he's close behind with his Costco card in hand. We had our strategy down once we entered as to what items each of us would get and meet back at the checkout. As I am mid power stride I hear him mutter "you don't have to take off on me" ..uhhh ya I do dude. I need to get away from you, albeit for a few minutes in this store because I am about to freak out and pull a crazed fishwife scene in this Costco if I don't.
So I storm the Costco and get my red peppers, rolled oats and cheese sticks while I drool over the patio furniture and marble bathroom vanities, never missing a beat. I get up to the check out and get in a line and look back for my dear husband who should have BEEN there by now with his one item...a Prime Rib roast for Sunday. Well no husband and I am standing in line now and people are coming up behind me making the line extend into the dried fruit and granola bars. Where the hell IS he? We need to get to preschool to get these kids!! So after what seemed like an eternity, he strolls up with the Prime Rib and some car wash liquid cause "we are out". Umm ya, we are really washing our cars lots these days with all the monsoons and high winds. So we finally get back to the car and head off to preschool and pick up the kids. We decided to go to Smitty's for lunch (we are starting off low end to train the kids how to behave at nicer restaurants like McDonalds) I choked back my egg beater omelet and home we came. THANK THE LORD.
So thank you my fellow bloggers for allowing me this vent. It would have been prudent to mention that I am PMS'ing right now and this seems to affect me ALOT more now after kids than ever before. Don't know quite why that is. Maybe I should start these kind of days with a shot of whiskey and a handful of Midols. Never know until you try right??
Do any of you ever have days like this with your soul mate?
